Don't remember what the underside of the car looks like but why the elimination of the stock V brace? |

Who knows stage 1 might make ~650whp. That would be some pretty good stuff, until we see HP/TQ numbers it's all speculation. |

thats actually not too bad... RB's with install is almost 6k.
things are really going to get interesting when Shiv releases his kit, and when the rest of the copy cats release theirs... I have a feeling prices will start to become more competitive Well I only can hope my PWM kit is compatible! but I might have to sell the car and get a 6spd 6AT will only last so long.... |

if I am correct; the only requirements for the RB's are a tune, catless downpipe, intake and intercooler, right? Basically a few basic bolt ons.

I think you guys complaining about how stage one wont make any more power than rbs are forgetting a few things. If 500whp is all you want then get the rbs. But your pretty much capped power wise after that, you might be able to squeeze a few more ponies with the HPF Intake manifold or if cobb figures out something once they get the rb's on. If you go with HPF stage 1 kit and get bored with it after a while, upgrade to stage 2. They'll probably have a stage 3 kit one day too, so if you get tired of stage 2 you can move up. Plus the exhaust manifold is designed so you can swap in any other turbo with the same flange. Lot more flexibility with the HPF kit, than rbs. And if what people are saying is true about us AT guys not needing a rebuilt it's just another plus. My only concern is how the hell would I smog that beast in CA??? Finding a shady smog tech would be great, but I'd hate having to revert back to stock every 2 years...

Remember, the difference between RBs vs a single turbo is that there would be more hp in the higher rpms (greater than 5500 rpm). So, you won't have that usual dropout that we usually see with our turbos and upgraded twins.
500 HP and 500 TQ doesn't mean anything unless you see where those numbers are made. |
