Ordered it 2 weeks ago and he's working on the exhaust manifold right now so I haven't seen anything yet, but he's going to shoot me pics of the manifold once it's been completed.

Since when has this been an option? Anyone here running it?

OP are you getting the journal or ball bearing?

Read my post above. Do not buy this kit.

He simply ignored me for weeks and sadly I sent him $5 through Venmo so he can answer the phone and sure enough he did. Sadly he didn't even send the $5 back. I'm no longer installing his kit and I've sold it. Since then I'm sticking to twins since I already have everything for a twin setup and ordered a pair of RB 17T Game Finishers. Should be done within the next 8 days and shipped.

Sorry you dealt with this dude, this guy's a dickhead no one should give him business.

Speedtech kit is the way to go if you plan on going single turbo route. I've had three sets of upgraded twins on my car and finally pulled the trigger on switching over to single turbo.

Which twins did you run?

iqraceworks · 07-05-2021, 09:17 PM

I just picked up a set of RB TWO's from Rob a couple of weekends ago (his shop is only a couple hours away). Great guy to deal with, and the machine work on the turbos looks amazing.

I'm hoping for 500-ish HP at the tires, which sounds like a realistic goal running an E40 mix and 20-ish psi boost.

I did a lot of logging and draggy pulls with my stock turbos on the MHD V5 E40 tune.....I'm looking forward to seeing how these RB TWO's compare with a custom tune. My plan is to start with the swap here in the next week.

Upgrading to outlets also? Which inlets you decide to run?

I'm going run the same silicone 1.75" inlets that I'm currently using. I'm going to use the stock outlets...... From everything that I've read, they really don't restrict you too much until you're up around 600 horsepower. And it seems like there's all kinds of problems with the aftermarket ones as far as fitment goes.

Aren't the RB 2's ported so he recommends you running outlets? Or is that the RB 2+ only? FYI when you get yours in post some pictures. He said he's shipping out my Game Finisher 17T's hopefully by the end of this week. Ill post some pictures. I can sell you my VRSF outlets since the Game Finishers come with new silicone style outlets. I'm just not sure when Ill be installing the turbos.

Nope, like others said....the TWO PLUS's require aftermarket outlets because they are ported. They were a couple hundred bucks more, and good for another 50-ish HP....but Rob was out of stock on the special shafts for them.....and I didn't want to wait any longer, so I went with the regular TWO's instead. For what I want to do, I think they will be great.

I've ran dynamic auto werx stage 2+, 19T Viv turbos and Pure 600s.

Same. Did they fail or you weren't satisfied with the gains?

Sorry to bring that thread up. looking for new development.

From my research, no twinscroll easy setup existing yet ?

So what would be you guys suggestion for my situation :

- Canadian (so US product are 20-30% higher + custom fees 20%+), Doc turbo @ 7500$ cad, no tks.
- Planning to do about 4-5000 km/y (3500 miles /year)
- Single turbo signature sound (1jz-ish)
- HP goal ? Stock interns please. so 550bhp
- Budget : well hard, its a E91 swap, so depends of the suprises. I would say 8k in mods.
- If possible, custom map , but under a reputable flasher like MHD

I was looking at this kit : https://www.on3performance.com/shop/...nfold-upgrade/

the donor just came in, so buying part will start

I second the SpeedTech - https://speedtech.com/ Their bottom mount kits are super clean, perform well, and easy access to wastegate and 02 sensors.
