Hell, get that one and put a turbo in it lol.

Question: My dec guy said to really let your car have a turbo cool down everytime. Is this really really necessary? Makes since too but I have other people who have turbos and nothing was said. or maybe they didn't read the instruction booklet lol lol. Do they make Turbo timers. I can't find ones that work with this car. ir i guess i can sit for those 2 minutes or so
From our testing we didn't see any drastic increase by having an upgraded mid pipe and axle back, but it did make the turbo breathe better and enabled it to make more power up top over 4500RPM. I would say that a down pipe is a MUST to get that extra power gain.

I don't think a turbo timer is necessary. If you beat on the car for a long period of time, continuously going into boost, then i will let it sit for 30 seconds or so before i switch off. I do a lot of freeway driving for work so by the time i get off the highway, run through couple of traffic lights and drive at a normal speed then that's enough to cool it down IMO.

Back pressure of the stock mid-pipe and axle back caused more low end power.




The free flowing turbo back system generates more power on the high end.

Different strokes for different folks. I won't deny that it's amazingly fun to get pushed into your seat by low-end torque, but I have more fun winding out my engines.

A balance would be awesome!

BTW some guy is selling a brand new Burger Tuning piggyback in the classifieds, super rare item. Someone should definitely buy it!

Someone should because I couldn't be more pleased with mine... I'm now considering having the secondary cats cut off just for a little less back pressure... I also have a rc-f modded with the rr-racing tune and love it.

Yup! The stock down pipe is super restrictive. If you were to get a downpipe or mod the OEM for better breathing you can always turn the boost up on the BMS. The RC-F is definitely a beast!

There aren't secondary cats besides whats on the actual down pipe. Just after the down pipe are resonators then more resonators then the muffler

Wrong, look for yourself. Primary Cats first, secondary cats, then resonators, then muffler... It's the same setup as my rc-f, trust me.. They are not resonators..
