Single tubo with RB turboback

Hi,

I would like to know if somebody runs a big single turbo with the high performance RB turboback? I'm talking about a FC. Does that thing flow enough?

Thanks!

If you do get a free-flowing exhaust, you're going to want a FCD as well.

Ok, but I'm putting a full T4, not just an hybrid. And I don't need a fcd, I'm running a standalone.

I am running T66 half bridge with the RB turbo back. Keeps the noise down. I will post again this week after tuning.

What I did was build an adapter from turbine to the RB piece. I would not do this again, as it's a PITA to seal it right and the stock flange is not full 3". I plan on having a 4" downpipe fabbed up instead.

it would be possible to to build a custom downpipe with wastegate flange and lead it back to the rest of the RB system. i've seen that done before, but it was a borla system instead.

I will probably make a custom downpipe with a vband flange to the RB presilencer.

nik let me know cause I my turbo is similar to yours. But it's not a half-bridge, it's on a ported 13b-re.

Yea the problem is that I have received the RB last friday and it's not the same size as they say on their website. Suite to my email to them, they have modified the text.
