Be patient grasshopper! Good things come to those who wait. It could be weeks to months before proper testing is finished. We dont just grab off the shelf GT35Rs and GT40s and throw them with a manifold and start slinging kits out the door. You sell more kits that way but we would rather sell less kits and make sure we do everything possible to make our kit the best. We would rather have 10 very happy customers than 20 mixed ones.

I don't think either one us is just trying to sling kits. To get the proper set up you will usually go through at least 5 turbos before you find the right set up. There are so many variables when it comes to picking the right turbo. We tested our current combinations for months to find the correction GT35R combination. We tested the other turbos during this same time to find streetable kits that would work well under all conditions. It also isn't just the turbo, but the manifold, wastegate placement, downpipe, etc.


I can't think of anyone else that offers a lifetime warranty on a tubular manifold. We have never had one crack, EVER. Also if you do search on here you will see all of our customers are 100% satisfied with their RnR Turbo Kit. They perform awesome, fit perfect and look better than anything out there.


We are in the process of testing some bigger stuff, but it won't be ready for public for a while.

You guys do know that Garrett is releasing a new GT37 turbo to fill the gap inbetween the GT35 and GT40. Should be out soon. I have talked to a good friend of mine "dont really want to say becouse i dont know if that will spoil the suprise" but they are working on the GT37 as the alternitive to the GT35. But hey i guess you will all see soon.

By the way I LOVE AMS and i think there turbo kit is awsome but dont put down other companys. I just got done with the engine build and put down 698awhp on a mustang dyno. Fully street legal and fully weighted. Working on getting to the track next season for sure but might be changing the turbo out agian . Damn 700whp goal SUCKS!

Currently there is a GT37, GTP38R, GT40, etc. It all comes down to finding the correct size for the EVO as a lot of these turbos come with really large turbine wheels and turbine housings made for bigger motors.

Is the 10.6 car that there is no time-slip, no video, no proof at all. And track specs that where given made no sense at all?

Will be running 10's or 9's and actually running those #'s is a big difference.......but with the turbo's you're using there a decent driver should be able to do it.

The GT37 has been out for a while...the compressor wheel is actually smaller than the GT35R wheel. There is a new turbo coming out that is slightly based on the GT37, but it's totally different. Funny thing is I spec'ed out a turbo and had it custom built for me and tested it, then I find out at SEMA that Garrett is working on the same thing but in a ball bearing version...cool!

Actually the owner had a slip and there were a couple EVOM members there. Remember Shiv taking all the credit for tuning the car after it ran? It only made 430whp on Shiv's dyno.

Did that car ever come close to that time again? Not asking in a sarcastic way or anything I'm just curious.
