So you really wouldn't need that big of a turbo at all for the renesis..

i think low compression rotors are STUPID



its very simple high compression low boost

you get one or the other unless you want high compression and high boost you need C16 all the time



a turbo renesis at 10psi of boost on a T04 should be more power than a regular 13B so around 400hp
I am not knocking the kit. Just asking an honest question. It seems I was mis-informed in the past.



So you can turbo an N/A you just have to run low boost. Good to know. I might talk my bro into adding a turbo to his GXL.



Would you say 7-10 PSI is about the limit of boost on a n/a engine.

i personally know of a turbo 6port n/a car with a T04... runs great no problems he just can't go over 10psi... that thing moves too! i think people just like to repeat what other people say instead of finding out for themselves... ah well

Good to know. I try not to listen to other people too much. Like when I was doing my swap. Everybody was telling me to go Haltech and to go with the Greddy FMIC. I just didn't like them so I did my own thing.



When you think about it it makes sense. Lower boost should work. A 300 HP RX-8.....hmmm.. now you have my attention.

Now we just have to wait until someone turbocharges one so we can find out if it works good.

Sorry guys here in the info.



TD06-18G.... So its pretty small. At least its not a TD05 hehe



Its on an RX8 as we speak, but I started reading more since there isnt a price.



Sorry though guys, it wasnt meant to be BS, and its not. I just got a little excited..hehe



Anyway, Trust put the kit on. At .4kg Boost they are getting 50hp extra out of the motor. Sure does cut down on the clutter in the engine bay.



I forgot my camera at work, so I will get pics tomorrow for sure. I will have my hook-up call Trust too for more info!
