Rear mount turbo?

[Boost RX-1]

I have an '03 RX-1 ER(22,000km) and I needs more power. Would a MC express rear mount turbo be better than a Bender kit? Also, would my engine still be reliable? Thank You Boost RX-1!

This topic has been discussed quite a bit. You might want to try a search to get some preliminary answers and go from there.

THey are both good kits, are your engine will still be reliable with either one as long as you keep the boost at an appropriate level for the engine preparation done. As a turbo manufacturer, Bender is a bit of a question mark right now, while MC is still going strong. Do you know anyone in your area with either kit?

My personal opinion would be that the MC is probably an easier kit to dial in for someone just getting into turbos. Either way, there are several knowledgeable people on the site that can help you with whatever you choose.

Thanks for the info. I have finished researching and I think I'm going with the MC express kit. Would it be a good idea to purchace a boost controller and knock sensor too?

Yes and yes!
