Tomorrow RA goes on the dyno. We want to get before and after numbers for Piggyback. We have all the turbo components ready but we are moving to a bigger building this weekend so we want to keep the car in one piece. this month should have turbo kit on our car.

are you waiting for dyno numbers on the turbo kit? or piggy back? If its the piggy back, cool. But if you are waiting for dyno numbers on the turbo to decide whether you want an RA, you can stop waiting and go buy the damn car. RRM has YEARS of reputation and dyno proven vehicles and turbo charging a car isnt THAT difficult if you have the tools and knowledge and time. RRM has all of those. Dont be so impatient with Rob and go buy your nice new car. That way your motor will be nice and broke in when that turbo is finally finished so you can boost your *** off. And expect somewhere around 240+ WHP on the RA @9 psi. If thats not enough power for you, buy something else cuz that is a DAMN fast car! The car is pretty quick now, turbo will be insane.

I'm talking about the piggyback. I could care less about turbo. Forced induction is for p*s*y's. I want to see what the piggyback can do to help the MIVEC.
Anybody can boost a car. But it takes a certain amount of precision and intellect to milk every drop of performance out of an engine without the use of a blower.
For example. The Hytech RSX. 320 HP out of 2.0L at 10,000 rpms and it is a perfectly good street car.
I have the money to go buy a G35 Coupe right now. But I'd rather spend 17K on a car and have 20K left for mods. My goal is to have a nice 240-250 whp sleeper. One that doesn't hiss between shifts.
I've already acquired every Amsoil fluid possible for a car to ingest and a bypass filter setup to trap every particle in my oil down to 1/100 of a micron. I am a very serious tuner looking to do some very serious tuning. RRM already has a fairly extensive catalog to shop from. Aside from engine covers and other ricer add-ons I could see myself purchasing just about everything on there. I will replace parts when better stuff comes along, and then sell the extra parts over the net at a fair price.
My Tiburon has had three different CAI's because I bought the one with best gains as soon as it was released and tested. It has put 220 whp to the wheels in NA form. I want a different car, because the lack of any variable anything make it hard to tune it well and maintain a decent street ride. Then there is also there is also Hyundai’s 100,000 mile warranty that I use about every week. The car is also a cop magnet.
I just want to see how the piggy back does. If the statements are hollow and I see a 5 hp gain, I will move on. But a 15+ hp gain will get my attention and will get you plenty of my business.

Your post is going to be viewed as ignorant. Sorry to say, but installing a turbo is not just a "bolt-on" job. It requires just as much, if not more tuning than any ECU reflash/upgrade/replacement.
True, anyone can boost a car. But not anyone can get it to work properly. I think you'll see a decent gain from the RRM Piggy-back, much more than 5 whp. They wouldn't sell it for 600 bucks otherwise.

We'll the future of aftermarket for our RA's relies more on forced induction. And that's what Im hoping for.. I know RRM are doing a great job in this kit and they will have good results with our platform. As for you expecting big HP #'s from N-aspirated engine with bolt-ons thats good if you are happy with an aditional 15whp for me I will be more happy with 250 Turbo WHp and spanking STI's.

Although I'm curious...why wouldn't you buy the EVo if you could have obviously afforded it?
