It's what the RD sport car has.
The Red E92 335 with RD sport bodykit, suspension, brakes, wheels, exhaust, ETC |

^thanks, I just did a google search and found a pic of that car.. Funny thing is that I saw this car at the Irvine meet last month, actually it was parked right next to mine. I didn't know it had upgraded turbo's, I wonder what kind of numbers it is putting down?

 I would think 500hp should be the minimum with upgraded turbos. |

Maybe they arent falling into this 'MO POWA' bullshit that the current tuning options push sooo hard. A 335 that could pull 15psi to 7000rpm while remaining within the efficiency range would be awesome! A linear power curve is the single best thing ever. When your power curve looks like the hunchbacks hump, there is TONS of room for improvement. |

Im surprised i never heard of this, btw those numbers are whack. I mean you spend 10k on parts and god knows how much on labor and look at the numbers you end up with. im sure poeople are getting those numbers on stock turbos with tunes and most bolt-ons

so many damn noobs i swear. they arent even pushing the limits of the turbo what so ever. they simply just upgraded them. keep the bitchin and moaning going please. if they wanted more power, they could easily turn boost up, along with other things.
just think of it this way. we're "pushing our turbos" to get 400whp+ while its easy for this rd sport turbo kit to achieve it with no "pushing" |

I am sure their car is designed to race on a track, not a dyno. There is ALOT more to a tune than the peaks. Go try the "turbo melter" map on a 20 minute hard track session and let us know the results
