Rb20 2 Step

[Kappacrazed]

Not looking for any troll responses I'd like to keep this serious and informational as there is nothing I can find on the topic. We all know the rb20 and rb25 turbos are ceramic my car came equiped with a Greddy Ultimate that has the abilitly for 2 stepping by retarding the IGN. Now obviosuly this isn't good for any turbo but I'm wondering since the stock turbos are ceramic will they just blow up the first time you try to use it?

My guess would be yes. If you are using a stock turbo why would you need too?

[The Dan]

They are more likely to break under those conditions

The age old "how long is a piece of string".

As Dan said, much more likely to fail either way. I might be ok a few times, it might die first shot... Nothing more than a lottery.

Connect 4!

Re question of what for on a stock turbo: I imagine OP doesnt want to make it spool harder on take off, its more as a launch control function. I used this on my old Evo 4 and it was amazingly good.

GTS-4 - does not need launch control. Just needs 8000rpm and a firm grip on the wheel

And supporting mods of course.... Don't want OP destroying the clutch or drive-train due to our advice

Lol.....no shame

But I do enjoy a good skid

[Kappacrazed]

LOL, Yes I was wanting it for launch control at like 3-4 psi on my GTS-4 for when I go to the drag. On the fronts I have 205/50/16s currently. What would you guys reccomend for launching on a gts4 4500 rpm slipping or dropping the clutch?

[34GeeTeeTee]

More details on your setup will probably help with the guys offering advice mate, like what clutch u have etc?

[Kappacrazed]

Sorry forgot to ad that, It's all pretty much stock for now, Rb20, stock clutch, 2 1/2" exhaust, Greddy Emanage Ultimate, Running at 10 psi

4 space savers, all good on gearbox. Launch all day at 8000 rpm
