Hi guys,

I have one and like it. The often stated 3.5 hp gain is peak hp gain at 9000 rpm. The RXtuner mag dino test shows about 10hp in the upper midrange and that is where you drive it. This was without the duct. People focus too much on 0-60 and peak hp numbers. Peak hp is just when it is time to shift and isn't as important as the extra10hp you use to pass with.

Reading the thread on the new PTP turbo, it seems 0-60 is all that matters. If you wanted a drag racing car you bought the wrong one. Look at the huge gains in midrange and top gear acceleration the turbo provides. That is where you drive it, and it is a drivers car. If you want a heavy, clumbsy car that has no road feel, and unstable cornering, clunky shifter, but goes fast in a strait line, buy a Mustang.

You didn't search very well. Just browsing the multimedia section should have given you results.

Yep ,the Revi can hit 10 HP peak. 3.5 hp average across the board.

It works. Allows me to pass turbo's on the track during a 95 degree day. They can't handle the heat soak, yet the Revi keeps on climbing in HP.

I still have to do some more driving with the REVi, since I was utterly tired after putting it in yesterday. I think it's worth the money though. :)

I have the REVI and the air duct and I like it a lot. RB makes some quality stuff, I like the stock look I'm not into the ricer thing, I'm too old!. The REVI does smooth the idle and give a little more top end power. After driving the car in cool weather, open the hood and touch the airbox, it's going to be cold! That's good cool air getting into the engine.

I recently went on a 5 hour drive for business, and I set the cruise to 72mph. I noticed my fuel gauge not moving as fast as usual. At 60+ with the air duct you get a ram air effect which helps improve gas mileage.
