Default rs6's with ko4 hotside and clipped wheels, what do you think.

"The turbos are modified RS6 turbos. They were built by Innovative. They are RS6 coldsides with ported housings and clipped wheels. Than they have ported K04 hotsides, again with ported housing and larger clipped wheels.

With these turbos on my car, My car ran a 2.7-2.8 FATS on pump gas only at 21 psi. These turbos are capable of close to 30psi.

On Jeff Moss' car(the owner of Torque Factory) These turbos dynoed 577awhp and 622awtq at 28psi on a motor with just rods.

These are VERY special turbos, there are ONLY 2 other sets of these turbos in existence. They will make MORE power than RS6 turbos but spool as fast at K04s. I was seeing 21-22 Psi at 3400 RPM on my car, and than they do NOT taper at all.

These turbos were $3500 brand new and they have under 2k miles on them. They run perfectly, the only reason i am getting rid of them is because i want to run GT turbos now.

They are still on the car now, but the car is getting taken apart by the end of this week and i can take pictures of them than.

I also have 3inch Dahlback downpipes that i am trying to sell with them."


these are the turbos im lookin at getting, what have you heard about these, and what do you know about them. thanks...

Default I believe i have the same turbos and my car makes no where near 577awhp

rs4 k04 hotside clipped with rs6 compressor wheel and housing. Even if i had rods, i doubt they would hit those numbers. Dont get me wrong, they are nice turbos but I think those numbers are a bit optimistic.

why did you decide to go with those turbos instead of straight turbos?

Default the RS6 hotside is the only reason I would go with RS6's over RS4s

they are both K04 based turbos BTW. I would much rather have a larger hot side and a NON-clipped wheel!! TIP FTL

If you can get them at a good price, then sure, go for it.

PS: if he was running them at 30 PSI, like he claims is possible with this setup, I would run, not walk away from the deal!!

This is all just my .02 I am no expert
