Rb turbos hopefully comming in
Hey guys so i have a 2011 US spec 1m.
Currently have full bolt on modifcations, so everything you need for extra power and i think i picking up RB turbos in the next week or so. A forum member is selling them brand new never installed because hes going after an HPF single and should be there 2nd car. This is very exciting for me and cant wait to get them, the 1m with upgraded turbos seems like it will be a great car especially because i think factory should have upgraded the turbos for all the boost we are running. For all of us on tunes this will also help us be more efficient. I know people hate when there is no pictures on a forum post but im just informing the community of a project. I also have bilstein PSS10 coilovers to put down the power obviously. This thing should be a beast and i cannot wait for these turbos to go in. Im collecting funds as we speak and should be picking them up soon!!! Thanks and i will try to update people. I should be at EUROfest as well as Rallye BMWs meet on may 6th. Not sure if it could be dont by those dates but hope to see a bunch of 1M///'s!!!!!!!! |

That would be terrific if you got RB's on your car. Your stock turbo's being so new should fetch you a decent payback as well.
What tune would you be using with the RB's? |

Your project sounds exciting, but I don't understand this comment. Are you saying that BMW should have spec'd different turbos in-case owners decided to tune their cars?!

The RB are built with a new compressor wheel, a new turbine wheel and shaft and are pretty much oem look keep the same water and oil lines im pretty sure. They hold boost much more efficently have upgraded wastegates and can really be efficent over the stock turbos reguardless what boost your running. Im pretty sure a good mad would be running 19psi to about 5500rpms and tapering to about 15-16 psi of boost and i should get an easy 450 wheel probably more mated with methanol. So we will see!!! |

Cool, that is pretty straight forward, we have AET-Turbos in the UK who will take your low mileage turbo and hybrid it or supply you a complete new replacement, they do a quality job on the KO4 in my astra, might have a word with them shortly.
