Anyone Heard Of These Guys

[nate3523]

Hi guys

I came across a few listings on ebay from a mob called rose rage turbos. Firstly just wanting to see if anyone has heard if them/ has any experience with them and secondly to verify whether a core replacement like this would be a valid upgrade path for someone with the stock baby turbo. Apparently the particular the item in the link below is a direct fit for all XR6 turbos however I dont know enough about this sort of stuff to verify this.

Keen to see what others think

For that price you could go a mamba bolt on with everything (housing/actuator/lines)

And have personally used them

Thanks mate that's interesting, I have seen them around as well but had made the assumption that they were a cheaper knock off. what sort of power were you making?

On my mates suby his one so not really relevant

I have his 11 blade billet wheel for my 3540and it goes very well

Thanks mate. Might check them out. Anyone else have experience with Mamba/Kinugawa?

Yep. Mine was a mamba one to suit ba.Took a month and no turbo after purchase due to out off stock (apparently).

When it did arrive it was to suit fg.After much f*cking around with front housing,actuator and bracket and engine mount, yes engine mount to clear the actuator rod (.7 front cover)

I got it all up and running. Even though this was supplied with a large w/gate flap 40 or 42mm it overboosted like a mofo no matter what I did with tha actuator or tune. It was inevitable in the end

and the turbo had to come back off and I had to port the housing for a better flow path which I did.

Turbo itself performs well but was no worth the headf*ck I went through. You are better off with garret gtx or one of Blue Powers new modded turbos. Been in a fg with one recently and they

are very immpresive all round turbo.

Cheers, blue power is my tuner anyway and I'm asking them for options as well. I know they do hybrid turbos but mine has done 150,000km do dont think I'll it's worth stuffing around with it.

I'll see what other options Theo comes back with.

Their hybrid and tune with their injectors and georges exhaust is sweet sounding, good on fuel and very impressive on the street and most likely the strip( if you can get traction)

You wont be dissapointed.
