They are good for about 400 RWHP at 15 psi. That is a rough figure, of course, as the power you make depends on porting and other stuff, too.

I have the RX6 and I like it very much. It offers excellent drivability and decent max power. But, if I were shopping again I would give very serious consideration to one the XS Engineering kits. The biggest problem with the RX6 is that the turbo is not rebuildable. The turbo in the XS kit is easily serviced if you happen to throw an apex seal at it.

RX6 Turbo *New*

Update information:

The new Apexi RX6 turbo will still be ball bearing, but this time Apexi gets the ***** and upgrade the turbo size bigger which is good for 500rwhp full ball bearing. The new kit supposedly also retains the smog pump.

Price certainly is much higher compared to the old kit.

New Apexi RX6

At the time being I believe they are been R&D'ed for the US spec cars, so should be out anytime.

They already have one new kit out that retains the air pump, but the turbo specs are the same. At least the car it was on still made close to 400rwhp with 15psi.
