Redtop=mud
Bluetop is the best for n/a power and for a low budget turbo engine with 200hp easily attainable on stock ecu

ok then, go with the weaker one!

im not saying bluetops are bad, just more can be got from the redtop.

and in stock form, red eats blue! just remember the cars you are comparing could have quite different weights.....

What about the TVIS Redtop? It has the stronger bottem end and it isn't much if at all more expensive than the blue top.

*me looks at his redtop all alone and neglected* :(

i have the tvis redtop in my ae92 that iv just bought and i have a ae82 with a bluetop in it, i've read they are making the same power, dunno about torque, but now that i've read that the redtop is stronger i understand the lower revlimit on the redtop, stronger=heavier= less stock revs?? am i right?

This is what you get when you run a bluetop turbo on a std ecu.

matt:
the standard ecu setup is mean.... it's all a matter of boost and remembering to do the right things.

Some of the tricks we learnt about that we've continued to use in our latest turbo setups which held up well to lots of track abuse.

even when we had standard ecu's we got a lot of miles out of them and did plenty of track time.

I'd like to see a lot of the cars out there running 4age turbos stand up a to a day of skidding.

and i still need a 20v throttle bar or else those quads are useless.
