Road Race Engineering GT3076R turbo Kit??

Hey guys, have anyone in here running this set-up from them? I am very interested about the kit and want to see if anyone has first hand experience with this? If you have this kit or know someone who is running this please post the supporting mods and WHP that can be expected. Thanks in advance .

its just a standard t3 gt3076r kit but for $3,900 you better off with a buschur kit or something else. kind of over priced i think

Ummm...that's $3900 INSTALLED. Comes with a V-band wastegate that won't leak. And a well-designed cast manifold. Stop handing out mediocre advice and go back to finding the cheapest parts you can and your Ebay intercooler.

i'm just staiting my opinion. also i am not hating. i'm just stating you can get a buschur kit for $3k. i'm just show him different options.
how come some of these shops have these fan boys that go crazy if someone simpley states some facts or opinions.

in fact the fact that that will not sell the kits stright out and will only sell them installed is probably one of the biggest turns off for me.

You can buy the parts elsewhere, including the manifolds straight from Hafe Performance.

RRE sells the setup as a complete installed kit because they fabricate the final product to match your car and existing modifications. The reason you don't hear complaints about RRE's kit, as opposed to Slowboy's, is that they take the time to install it right.

$3900 installed by a very competent race shop is not a unreasonable option.

yeah i actually read some of the threads about the RRE kit and you really can't beat that price installed $3900 and they pretty much put what you need in the kit. I guess by reading i found out people are making 400+whp on pump gas. Thats awesome. I just wanted to hear personally from someone with this kit and how they like it.

Thanks for all of your inputs guys. Keep posting......

Apparently he doesn't want one of the best shops around to work on his car.

i am gonna buy it. I was debating the 20G-LT or something with the same capacity of WHP output and i think this is a great deal and they are gonna install it too.....and do it properly. Road Race has been around forever and they are one of the best .

Here is the link....

Yeah do not get the kit. It sucks. I have it and it fits like a glove and makes the car scary fast.
