I was going to as well.... Guess I won't as it will be labeled..... Just wanted to give an opinion so others may know.

Thanks for the review OP! We probably will start reaching out to more customers and see if they wouldn't mind giving a review as well, perhaps would help out with the skepticism

***update***

Here are the results at the drags I went to some time ago on a 30 deg day with the Rb next gen plus. This was the best of about 15 runs that day( 3 x 11.1 runs). Intake temps reached 70 deg c at the end of the run(standard vrsf) but the car ran great otherwise.

Have to say these rb's have seen 30+ drag runs, countless 3rd gear logs and about 20k km of hard driving above 23 psi (26 psi on e85).

Will be upgrading my intercooler and aiming for 10.9 once the weather cools.

Nice consistent and quick passes sir. Thanks for sharing your car is running VERY good especially for such a hot day. You certainly one of the best performing N54's out there as not many get to these levels at the track. It definitely has some easy 10's in it with the right launch even in the same conditions.

Car ran 11.2 @ 133 and 134 mph in colder temps(28 psi). 2nd gear launch the transmission is slipping and hitting safe mode during the 2 seconds after launch(22psi). 18psi cap in 2nd and it should hold fine. Will try again soon for 10s.

Thanks for the update sir! FYI that 134mph trap is up with the couple highest we've ever heard of in this platforms history (with twins).

Also great news all around with these RB Next Gen Plus units- put them into production in October 2016- sold close to 50 of these particular sets thus far- and have yet to have a single one come back or generate any complaints. So strong performance and proven reliability is a great combination!
