Hey Guys,
I just dropped my car off today at RSI (Feb 24) for their new production twin turbo system and built motor. This system is essentially the Gen 2 version of the RSI shippable turbo kit.

Recently, it seems that some RSI customers have had issues regarding their cars being in the shop for an extended period of time. An additional complaint is that RSI has had poor communication with its customers. My personal experience is that Will@RSI has been very helpful over the past month. He has assisted me in choosing the right parts for my build, while still staying on a budget. Will usually responds to text messages within 20 minutes of me sending them and will call me back if I leave a message that day. In order to remedy the build time issue, I am having my block built from a core (provided by RSI) in order to cut down on amount of time my car is at RSI. The deposit on the block was made approximately 3 weeks ago (Feb 6.)
The purpose of this thread is to:
1) Provide build pics and updates
2) Provide a time line of how long my car has been in the shop
3) Provide performance results of the finished product
4) Provide any issues or delays in my build (service or car related)
I will update this thread as I receive pictures and status updates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Running Time Line:
- Feb 6: Block deposit made and core block started
- Feb 24: Car delivered to RSI (Dropped off 1 week early to fit my schedule)
I will post pics as soon as I get them.
*Thanks to Alkybanshee, Mr. Hollywood, and Junkie for helping me put my build together.
