Well on that vid that was the gen1 original R I know of the changes he's made but I dont think it's a huge deal

Also, I'm running a gen 2 R with a slightly larger 7 bladed wheel and actuator.
Guys, I've posted enough data to show that the turbo makes some great power. I've posted Vdyno data which is far from perfect or "set in stone" but can definitely be pretty accurate under the right circumstances and I made damn sure to keep as many critical variables the same. I've got nothing to gain by spending money and then trying to fool myself into believing that it was money well spent. Evo and MS3 communities swear by it.
At the end of the day, it is what is is. Like it or leave it, the upgrade is cheap and IMO, well worth it if you're not looking to poor money into some grandiose build.

Ya with all the info here from guys who have the k04r like yourself and me it's shocking people still don't "believe" it's worth the money. I had 0 proof I was the first person to have it from talking to Matt he convinced me it was worth it and it was and after the actuator it was worth it again!

Mine. Pulled away hard. If you want details, search my posts.

and frankly you proved exactly what I said - if someone cannot be bothered enough to look at the postings here, then it's not worth re-answering them - because they are not going to be convinced;
If they are interested, they will read this thread, no matter how long it is.

The info about the turbo is in the first 3 pages and there are reviews all through the thread because not a single person will read any of the thread even if there were dynos they wouldn't know cause they didnt look. I read the full ZFR thread before I asked any questions.

Anyone looking for a k04r turbobay is having a sale atm on them on facebook. And seems like the same sale as the one from black friday but I could be wrong
Seems like they had a family emergency and probably delayed all the turbos. Hope the kid gets better
