Bigger compressor and clipped turbine with upgraded waste gate valve! Granted it still has the 03 shaft but who cares, it's a weekend play car anyway.
The lack of changes to the exhaust side make me a bit skeptical of power gains. But for sure, the upgraded wear parts should be nice, and like you said for the price it's solid value. I was going to hop on RBs in a few days, but then someone decided to back into my car at work and not leave any info. So now I get to direct all that money towards a new bumper cover, a leaky VC gasket, AT tranny flush, and some other crap. Ugh.

I still may get the RBs though lol
