Update I spoke to Marco AKA thewird and Elliot from turbosource regarding the EFR Turbo system, and since my car is a right hand drive the IWG EFR 8374 might not fit due to the steering rack which might be in the way. Elliot was very generous to let us test fit it once shipped, and if doesn't fit we will ship it back and go with 2x EWD kit instead. after Marco and Elliot explained the difference between the IWG and EWG to me, I was leaned more towards the EWG which will actually give me a bit more HP but will be more noisy, but i decided to go with IWG just for the fact that its less noisy and I don't want to attract any attention.

Here more pics of the Beast

Hi all, I know its been a long time since my last post, but here is some recent developments taking place at RX-Tuning & Performance's. Marco finally made it to my Baby 2 days ago, he took out the engine and disassembled it for rebuild which it great news. unfortunately after the dis-assembly he found some damage on the rear roter and housing caused by the broken apex seal, therefore will need new ones here goes another $1700

You can also follow the progress on: https://www.facebook.com/rxtuning


Here are some pictures of the progress:

New update, we decided to go upgrade the turbo kit from 8374 to 9180 EWG kit with an Adaptronic PNP for more HP. we're now aiming to get 600HP, not sure how much boost we should run it at still LOL. I cant wait to see the results.

Going to machine the block and put big bolts in it. Don't need the block twisting and causing trouble.

Two thumbs up in my books. Pinning doesn't seem as common as it should be
