high pressure turbo RIP kit

Post by ca855r »

Got a 1997 850R 240k miles and was thinking of putting in the IPD RIP kit and was wondering if you could "feel" any difference with it or not? I only have my butt-o-meter and would like to know if it's worth purchasing. Already did a Stage 1 and looking for cheap upgrades. What else would be nice to add?

I have the factory RIP kit on my 94 T5M and it is way quicker than my 96 850 R without the RIP, but I honestly think that this is mainly due to the 94 being a manual 5 speed and the 96 being AT.
