RB Turbos at 5500ft Dyno

Enicinitas · 01-16-2011, 04:08 PM

In order to streamline options in pricing, new pricing is $3499 for RHD 335I/All 135I or $3399 for LHD 335I Turbos (plus shipping). This is not an increase in price, but rather just includes EVERYTHING in one set "All-Inclusive" price. This includes the original price of $2899, new wastegate actuators ($100 value), core charge for the turbos themselves ($400 value for RHD 335I/All 135I or $300 value for LHD 335I), and other fees/costs that I incur and pass along for making transactions (typically $100). There is a core refund option where if you choose to send me back your originals, I will offer $300 for the RHD 335I/All 135I units and $200 for the LHD 335I units. It is not a requirement to send your originals back, but you can if you'd like to utilize a credit (may not be worth it for Overseas shipments). If you are interested please let me know, and we will get you in for an order asap as I am ramping up production and will be taking new orders after the new year. The expectation is to just pay for the transaction in full including shipping, and wait a few weeks before they are completed and shipped. I am hoping to get the point sooner than later where I can be mailing these out off the shelves at the point of sale, just not quite there yet. In the meantime, I'd like to simplify the administrative side of this as much as possible (hence the all-inclusive pricing structure). Please note that all other turbo options have a "core charge"; its just not widely publicized what that charge is nor is it factored into the pricing that you may see advertised.

This was the response that I got from rob when I asked him a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the clarification. Thats what im here for...to learn. I of course will ask for a discount for all of that work.

George, Do you have any updated dynos/logs showing how these hold power/boost at higher rpms at higher elevation? I'm in Denver and am curious how these do at high altitude where the stockers fall flat.

Just to update this comment I made a while ago...front subframe doesn't need to be lowered for the install...lowering just the front sway bar and the steering rack makes more than enough room to do the job...the water pump also has to come down but that's easy as its right in your face there in the front...

my dealer lowered the subframe for my turbo replacement. Might be different for xi's dzenno.
