what the **** are you talkinng about? you are comparing 2 totally different things
is your car even turbo?

the RFL is a POS anyway, its only for that cool blow off valve sound y0. its a shitty valve when it comes to performing.

and a tach or shift light really isnt gonna help you be any faster, hate to break it to you. your car is slow, even if its running a 13 you dont row gears fast enough to need a shift light.

christ..here we go

PSI dose not equal horsepower, if i ran 15psi on my stock turbo it wouldnt make nearly as much power as a bigger turbo running the same amount of boost

set a horsepower goal, not a boost goal

and the RFL is a horrible blow off valve

HAHAHAHAHA

the RFL will never hold 25psi
i wouldnt let the RFL near my engine at 5psi, its a push design, it leaks. period. there is no way to stop it from leaking. not to mention its stupid annoying loud.

edit: what the **** is the point of the pictures? whoop de doo? its you? yay?

You want a cookie?

You need to do some research. And please remember, you get what you pay for. So if you pay $50 for a blowoff valve (I know it's sorta a deal), it probably is a piece of ****. HKS/Tial

Never heard of RFL, so keep your tach. What type of turbo do you plan on getting?
