I have the RB TWO's and they use the stock size 1.75" inlets, and I'm using the stock outlets. As far as OEM turbo durability...hard to say. OEM turbos are designed around 8-10psi boost....I'm hitting 27psi with my RB TWO's on an E40 mix and a custom tune. I don't know if there is really an apples to apples comparison......but they do have larger bushings/bearings than the OEM turbos....so by all practical sense, they should last longer.

None of his upgraded turbos are "compatible" with factory inlets, yes they will of course fit, but could cause premature wear in the thrust bearings with the higher suction of the compressors. The OEM billets are compatible however. I cannot personally speak for reliability yet as I am installing my twos tomorrow, but as I have heard and seen, they are comparable to OEM so long as you keep them close to the range he has on his website. I'd be happy to send pictures before installation as they are sitting right next to me.

Another reason why you should not buy a cheap set of Chinese turbos.

Basically....they are all over the place as far as quality control goes. Same problem as always.
By the time you pay $1,000 for a set of cheap ebay 17t turbos (after shipping), and then send them out to have them gone through and rebuilt/remachined/balanced, and shipped back to you.....you would probably be money ahead by spending $2k on a set of RB TWO's.

Gamble or buy quality. It is the labor that kills you. RB seems to be the most reliable. If you want above 650whp you should get a single turbo. |

These cars are cheap now and any every kid that wants a fast car jumps all over them not knowing jack shit. Which is why the above vendors cash in.
