Everyone seems to have a different opinion on bridgeing.

That massive turbo and bridge port = fail. The RX2 had a T51 (same shit) and bridge and while it makes stupid power, when combined with OEM 5 speed and a road car its just slow. When you compare it to others that are well set up and much milder in specifications.

nice for dyno comps and noise, but pretty shit for a road car.

To make that combo work at all you will need a dog box, close ratio's, and about $50,000 for spare motors, turbo, gearbox's, slick tires. You can get them to work but its just pointless mate, they make no power below 5500rpm at all, then they come on like a hand grenade (and that is only on low boost like 18psi. Shocking set up, poor response, then too much power resulting in wheel spin, lug it at 4000rpm out of a corner and its a nugget.

The largest turbo I would ever suggest anyone to run on the road is a T04Z or similar, stock ports, and wind the boost in you need to satisfy your power goal. If you want the brap brap brap then ignore all this advise and go with your heart
