Yup that's right--according to this idiot thats what his GReddy turbocharged rx8 was at the rear wheels. Somebody needs to jump on this one of a kind GReddy turbo kit!

Guys..... He is a clever one.

Notice how he wrote hp ad not whp. He probably got a 300whp dyno on a greddy (almost blowing up the turbo ) and then he back-calculated it taking into account some theoretical drive train losses of something ridiculous like 25%(probably based on the fact that the stock RX-8 is supposed to have 233-238hp and it only makes about 180whp if your lucky). I bet you if anyone calls him out this is what he will say.

That's my take on it.....this of course assuming he didn't just lie and pull the number out of his a**.

he does say to the wheels:

"I only had it in my car for about 4 weeks and pushed 394hp with 14.2psi with right tunning to the rear wheels, with it computer."

So I'm gonna say he pulled it out of his ***

Oh wow....Good catch....I didn't see that. I guess he's pretty talented if he pulled 394 horse out of his a**

yo, don't hate because he's k-rad.

14.0 PSI will give you approx 293 whp. BUT once you get 14.2 PSI, vtak kicks in and you get 400 horses.

LOL

He also lists prices for his GReddy BOV at $400 (street for the Type-RS is $200) and the ProFecB boost controller as $450 which is the price of the E-01.

But yeah, we all know that number is BS.

He did list his phone, I'll give him a call.
