Don't know what kind of updates you want?

I am ditching the xede and going with the aem ems along with running meth.. Should have the new tune with meth in about 2 weeks.

Oh, I did take the car to PIR once at the end of last season.. Ran a 12.0 @ 116 with a 1.8 60'.. Was shifting like a old lady and was fall out of boost on each shift.. I was taking it easy on the car since I didn't have alot of seat time in the car at the time. That was on pump fuel... Can't wait to take the car to the track this year with the new tune and meth.

I LOVE THE quality of this kit, and congrats you got the UPGRADED manifold so it hopefully won't crack. It's just that these kits are kinda iffy on power. They certainly have the Lag of a GT35R, but it doesn't have teh power of it. Honestly you may make a lil more peak power then the 3076R, that's it.

On the up side again, the IHI turbo quality far exceeds that of the Garrett, and that's why they are found on Ferrari's, check out the F-40.

I was talking to the guys at Works and they said they removed the 35R they had on there Time Attack car and switched to the Power Enterprise kit. It has a slightly larger P22 hotside, however they claimed that the PE turbo spooled up about 500 RPM's sooner, yet made about 30 more hp up top than the 35R. The PE kit also uses a RX6R Turbo, whereas the Apexi uses a RX6B turbo. I dont know if there is a difference, but I know the A/R is bigger on the PE kit. Supposedly the PE kit is good for up to almost 700 whp.

I recently purchased a PE kit and just curious as to how the Apexi kit is holding up and running in the long haul with the new owner. You should be able to see the full potential out of your turbo now with the AEM and a good tuner.

That's a pretty good time. With me in the car, it was 13 second car . I can't wait to see what you can do with some race gas and some boost. Good luck.

I had a GT3076 before the RX6 and I gained 20hp on pump and 65hp on 100oct. I feel that's a pretty decent increase. The thing I hated most about the GT3076 was below 3500rpm the car was dead then would shoot instantly to 23 psi by 4300rpm. The RX6 could create some boost at 3000rpm and was a little nicer to drive around.

I have the Apexi RX6 kit and so far I love it. At 21 lbs with 93 oct I made 434 awhp and 343 ft lbs of torque. I'm considering upgrading my hks 272's to tomei 280's or Jun 272's which should give me more power hopefully. The power delivery of this kit reminds me of a V8 because it's so progressive instead of hitting hard like other turbo kits.

The kit is still great.. But I did swap it out with a different turbo kit.

The turbo kit didn't match up to my new build too well (2.4 block).. and I didn't want to deal with shooting in the dark and matching up a larger exaust housing for the new build.

The turbo kit is going up for sale if anyone is interested.. Just shoot me a pm, no reasonable offer will be refused.
