Turbo inlet, catless dp.

400+ horse is probably out of the range for the rv6.
If you go prl big turbo, you will lose out on low end torque too. The guy that installed my retrofit clutch was running it and went back to stock turbo because it didnt spool till redline. He was running up to 8k rpm to utilize the boost. (He also has the second fastest stock turbo si).

Should of gone PRL turbo if you wanted 400’s

rv6 might be able to reach the 4’s with port injection both options will most likely require a built block possibly built trans

Pick what you want. Early spool or more power. You can't have both on a 1.5 engine with a low redline. The RV6 has a fine spool time, people just compare it to the golf ball sized stock turbo and expect instant spool and 350whp and that isn't going to happen.

I hear you — I was just wondering what I can do for more power and a quicker spool. I think the biggest thing holding me back is the 1.5l engine. Definitely am going to have to get a built block, arp headstuds, pistons, and injectors to max out but idk if I’ll do all that. I’m just calling it quits after I get my PRL inlet. I’ll save the rest of my money for a v8 car I can take to the track

Also if you are using the prl intake with the "street" maf housing, you can switch to the "race" maf housing.

You need to upgrade your fuel system on the prl turbo as well to get 400+. 350 is the most any of these turbos can make on flex fuel, whether it's w2, r365, or 2867r. The r365 will make over 400 with added fuel it has all the characteristics to be able to do so, and they are dropping a ball bearing version soon, which drastically helps spool time

W2 will get you upper 300 and touch lower 400 with fuel.
