PSA: Are you about to buy a new turbo? You should wait.

[Thraxbert]

I agree. I was one of the people very skeptical of them. I've been testing turbos, shooting turbines out exhausts for decades now.

I do remain skeptical about Remnant, but I hope I am wrong. To me, it's hard to take a company that offers T51R mods seriously though.

I absolutely love the T51R sound. I understand and appreciate it's controversial, but I run an RP turbo with T51R on my other car and it's currently the stock block record holder for the platform. I loooove the sound of T51R.

But it's like fuel dump on timing retard. Some love it, some don't.

So far, the best part of this turbo kit development is you living vicariously through remnant in this thread..

I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and I do plan to buy this kit if it turns out well.

I'm definitely excited about it. I've been largely unimpressed with the turbo offerings on this platform. The bottom mounts have been underwhelming (lackluster components), and top mount is not a use case I want anything to do with (not the spool characteristic I want). RP is the first solution that targets the form factor and capabilities I'm looking for on the Supra, and I have first-hand experience with their hardware on another car.

I know I'm excited for the turbo, intake manifold, and port kit. I have the exhaust installed and I'm enjoying that.

If we do my NA idea, you won't have to worry about spool characteristics ?

Excuse me... lol.

Excuse me... lol.

Yes, Zack, I am aware that there is one good one lol.

I thought I heard folks with top mounts are now swapping back to bottom mounts. Am I wrong?

no, some top mount folks are moving to bottom. More so folks in competition.

You're correct. Thermal management is easier down low, as the engine and engine bay are designed for the turbo in this location. It also makes for a comparatively easier install (IMO) as all the hookups for the turbo are down there as well, and you can re-use the EWG if that's what your setup calls for.

Remnant put an update video on YT.

 

[Jakester]

Can't wait to see how this turbo works out!

Just a couple more weeks....

This should be a t-shirt for everything in the MK5 Supra world. lol

It's the reason I changed my profile pic and signature. Everything is "a week or two away".
