MAPerformance sells a kit with everything needed besides the manifold, turbo, & downpipe. Lots of people really unhappy with the RAD swap results

The only bold on is the Rad Turbo. Except that u have to turn in your turbo. ~ I heard good stuff about it ~ Might find someone selling their Ralliart turbo.

The Evo X turbo is not to bad to do if you can find someone selling the turbo with all the lines. There is a check list to follow and you can always get the MAP kit for it. A lot of people have done it and it's not to hard to get it as u can find most of it in the Evo X classifieds.

Please explain to me how you know about all these people being unhappy with the RAD lite because I have one sitting waiting to be installed and havent heard anything bad but one person compaining about a problem that may or may not pertain to the turbo.

I'm curious about this as well-

We have installed quite a few- and had very positive feedback-

again-I want people to understand that by no means is our RAD lite a competitor for something like a bbx lite, fp green etc.... its simply a small upgrade to the stock turbo for anyone that wants to keep a 100% OEM look RA package on the RA- and have evo X stock turbo output-

They will send you a rad turbo to install and give you like 10 days to send back your stock turbo.

Really? Can you site any sources?

This. They offer a core exchange program so there is no downtime and you get your core fee refunded when you send in your stock turbo after the swap.

Me and my RAD on e85 setup would tend to disagree. It has preformed just as I hoped, if not a bit better. And Bryan (razorlab) has said he was pretty impressed with it as well in another thread.

Curious who all these unhappy people are? Cause I don't know of a single one.

My only complaint might be that with the E85 it maybe spools TOO quick, but with Supoer Sport mode the transmission has no issues with it.

I've never heard of 1 person who has it saying they don't like it. The only complaints are from "what if" people who compare it to larger ones.
