Just that.. 152hp to 141whp .. is it me or it's really high ?
Every dyno is different. The EvoM crew ran one that put down 142 stock. So it's not unheard of.

IC will be included, yes. Sorry for forgetting that.

I've never had a turbo installed as an aftermarket part on a car, so i just have a few questions.

1) this is going to kill my warrenty isnt it?
2) how much does it cost to get installed?
3) will i have to get anything else (besides the kit) for my car if i buy it?

Thank you for pointing out some FAQs I missed.

1) Your warranty will be affected greatly. Pretty much anything that goes wrong with the engine or transmission will NOT be covered. Other issues (suspension, interior, etc) should be covered unless can show that the turbo kit caused the problem.

2. You're probably looking at hundreds of dollars. Depending on the cost/hour of the shop, easily figure $500, maybe up to $1000. It's going to depend on how long an install it is (and only RRM knows that right now).

3. No. Your car will be 100% OK with the turbo kit alone. You can choose to add other modifications to increase performance, but nothing else is needed.

C'mon, you do have to read the FAQs at the top. That's the first question. Yes, it'll fit.

when RRM finishes it.... They havn't given a release date yet.

To my knowledge... the current status of our turbo is...

Manual FED - Done
CVT FED - switched over to it and testing now

And that's it...

wow that's pretty impressive gains espeically considering the second run was done at temperature in the high 80's. ON a cold winter day i bet you could get another 20 horsepower off of it.
