For the price your getting a turbo that’s comparable to the prl kit without the $3k cost.
It is true, Drob has said straight up on his ig that the 1.5T makes less power on hondata - something about fuel pressure targets which he goes over in the link you shared - but hondata made some big tuning updates this year so I don't know if this is true anymore.
I am itching too but thing is that no-one knows about reliability/longevity yet. I would guess that its not available widely for sale because of production restrictions, pandemic going on and all but even if it was immediately available, I would not jump on it unless there is some proper feedback on possible issues like turbine housing cracking, turbine or compressor wheel issues etc.
If it helps any at this time I have over 6k miles on mine and have had only the one issue we caught at the very beginning. I think most of us that have had our cars dyno all came up around the 320ish mark... (guessing) which I’d say is still good. I know someone that has a prl kit and he hit 348 and I think Ryan (phong vlog) is somewhere in the 350’s with the same prl kit. So it’s not too far off but for the savings it’s still good. At the end of this summer I’ll probably buy the W2 turbo and see how it performs. By that time I should have over 10k miles of abuse on the rv6 turbo and give an update. I recommend this turbo over the mhi td03 still. I had over 600 miles on that turbo and at 25 psi it had nothing on the rv6 turbo.
That may be YOUR key point, but mine is that you probably shouldn't talk about a tuner that you clearly know nothing about and obviously haven't used his services.
Nothing posted is gospel. If you take it as such that’s not my fault. But someone else has heard the same thing. So it’s a clarification as to what has been said and who else has heard the same thing. There’s always some truth in a rumor no matter how big or small.
I PMed RV6 about the pre-order and have heard nothing... and that was on 3/26.
You right. Not sure why I'm wasting my time in a 1.5L turbo thread anyways.
Cuase there's time to waste. At least that's me. I run a gtx2860r. But I like to follow the new stuff. It's good to have a broader understanding of the platform.
