I'm saying with the x57rs. The turbo has had alot of issues so far. 380whp has been hit and sustained by many.

I can't site my sources on this one because I've also had a hard time tracking down these claims but there are 2 rumors. One says puma did a shitty job machining the coolant threads on the turbos so they leaked by and created white smoke. Another says that their thrust bearings are crappy and apparently one customers broke. I've talked personally with Tim at pwnall and he has verbally confirmed these problems were fixed. The problems were on the first batch. I will of course, be putting my build together after the holiday season. As one of a handful of people running this setup in the United States I'll be sure to give the forums my review of the x57rs.

Jason @Jason@dizzytuning had one that had coolant leaking issues. He sent it back and replaced it with an s280.

You should also look around for a video on YouTube, am individual in the UK made 400hp to the wheels on a stock block with the stock cat installed still. I know it's not the best concrete evidence, but it has been done.

My engine blew, that's the only reason I bought a build one.
