Also not understanding why the first thing you did wasn't to ask for a replacement, so what you're out some shipping costs IF that be the case.. better than totally unhappy and out all costs
They are the RB Two Plus. I didn't directly ask for a replacement. I sent the pictures and told them I was unhappy. I always reach out to the vendors first and put the ball in their court. Seeing how they handle the situation speaks volumes to me.

100% i wish I had done this. Don’t get me wrong, The upgraded RB or Pure’s are great but it cost nearly the same as an ST kit

But if you want twins nothing wrong with them. Once you add in the cost of downpipes, inlets, and outlets you are basically at the cost of a precision ST kit, assuming that is your thing, which it obviously is not.
Holy shit, I had no idea speedtech kits were this cheap. Plan was DR700 sometime around late 2023 but... damn. The S362 SX-E kit is very, very tempting. Hypergate + open dump for $3800... solid.

This is what the platform has needed for years: an inexpensive cast log style manifold. It's what the supra guys etc. have had forever.

I went even cheaper with a VSR 6766 top mount @ like $2950. VSR seems to be pretty decent. LS, diesel, & honda guys run them & theres a few drag builds on youtube with them. Buddy at work has a 1350hp s550 stang with a VSR turbo on it running 8s in the 1/4 mile

Definitely stay in touch with Rob first and foremost. My RB 2 plus didnt look like that I think. He has a great reputation for taking care of customers.

What's the lag like on this setup? That is a massive turbo.

Also, I think I follow you on instagram

Yeah I believe the gain is what you want to mess with. Ik you can get a 6266 spooled by 3500 or so with the right settings on the GFB
