Just wondering why this turbo is priced so low compared to RRM? Any ideas

 

rrms is a tried and true turbo, it looks amazing, its carb legal, its made from quality parts, etc.

 

It looks amazing? Come on, RRM has a good idea with bypassing the exhaust manifold with the up/down pipe for emission purposes, but it does not look nearly as clean as a car with a true turbo manifold, like Andrews car. (HobieKopek)

 

im talking about the piping. the powder coating looks really good and gets a lot of oohs and ahs from other turbo owners

 

Know one really knows much about this turbo, and it doesnt have any credibility within the forum. If you want to be the guinea pig and try it let us know, many are interested, but when it comes to a couple thousand dollars and your lancer engine, most people err on the side of caution.

So far, the only complaints have been that its downpipe doesnt fit with the Lancer and has to be modified slightly, which shows it wasn't really designed for the Lancer, also the claims on the webpage are a little exageated. Others point out that it isnt certified with the emissons testing or something, but unless you live in California or Florida(?) this doesnt really matter.

 

in florida it doesnt matter. we dont have testing. its cali thats strict.

 

Very little info on this kit, and I'm skeptical of other claims/gains they've posted. At least there's finally a pic of that kit in a Lancer though. I'm inclined to agree about the return pipe on the RRM kit...I've posted about it before. You get what you pay for though.

 

If anyone is willing to test it out let me know how well it works. I could really use a cheaper trubo kit.

 

I wouldn't be willing to throw away 2 g's on a kit that isn't even tested... but if we really want people to test out kits... y not everyone give em a buck or two n buy them the kit, that way everyone
benefits

 

i would be willing to test it out and put up some of my own money, if some people did what Viciouz said - everyone else put in like 2$ or something lol.

 

ill give you $5, you should start a pledge drive lol. if you actually get ppl to give you money ill probably give you a few more dollars than that, but i doubt you could get enough, but it doesnt hurt to try.

 

hey andrew you mean finaly theres a pic fo that kit in a mirage :-)

 

Hey - ill make a thread right now!! haha

 

give a link to it here

 

ohk here is the link

this pledge if for the non-IC kit - and i assume there will be a pledge for a IC kit soon too.

I figure if everyone can put for like 5$ that would be enough and once i get to 1,000$ or so from all the money, i will put forth my own money to get the kit and pay the left over cost.

This isnt asking too much from people, like 10$ ( 5 per each kit ) which is like 1/2 of what most people make an hour at the least. I will not be asking for money up front, just for people to sign up and say how much money they are willing to put down. Then - once i have the rest of the money i will be contacting everyone for the money and then order the kit.

Thanks guys!

Lets get this experiment underway and find out once and for all the best turbo kit for our cars! and also the cheapest!
