Here you don’t see much over 400 in them, but they seem to take 500 on stock interns quite well. That, and it seems hard to ever have enough hp…I think I am in trouble lol.

I know exactly what you mean.

Just make sure you get rid of the stock turbo before you get too boost happy, they’re prone to disintegrating. Happened to my old RB25 car to the guy I sold it to… except the motor ate the bits of turbo and kicked the bucket. Expensive mistake.

Fortunately RBs have a T3 flange so finding a bigger/better turbo is a piece of cake.
