RNR 50 Trim Turbo Upgrade
Hey guys I was curious if anyone out there had this kit and what they thought about it. I am thinking about this kit because its nicely priced and looks like it would be a decent power increase. I am basically looking for a kit that is under $3,000 and will give me the most bang for the buck, until I can afford a stroker/GT35R combo.

We recently did a car with this set up that made 389whp at 21psi on 91 octane.

my mods are
hks 272's, 780cc injectors, custom dynoflash,afc 2, tbe,helix ic pipes,turbo xs bov, rnr 60 trim turbo kit with standard manifold.
i have to put my headstuds in & my twin disk clutch this week or next then i will probably go to the dyno & give you some race gas #'s.. although im up in slc ut so 400whp is haulin *** up here. stock evo's to fairly modded evo's are dynoing 200-300whp.

Yeah please let me know what you put down. How much do you pick up on spool going with the equal length manifold. Did you go with internal dump or external?
