Yes, but the RB26 is still pretty much stock. Try putting that much power/boost in a stock VQ, and what do you get? A blown motor. After all, the VQ was on some NOS and it blew according to the Turbo article. The VQ isn't really a very efficient motor. Plus the RB26 also looks better.
Ever seen the VQ w/o the plastic covers? hahah. WTF..
I don't get why soo many people decide to sell their car after they "turbo'd" it..Smog issues?
Must be the horrible "fumes" on a non Factory installed Turbo. Most factory installed turbo kits don't have horrible fumes leaking out from everywhere. Also, every non-factory turbo'd cars I've seen always have a huge cloud of smoke coming out the rear.
STI's, EVO, and even the 335xi don't give off those fumes/smoke etc..
