They're both apples. Like Life Dies said, just different colors and stripes.

RUF R Turbo 0-200kph 10.8 Sec. (German Mag.)

PSI 540BHP: 100-200KPH: 8.5 Sec. (PSI website) If 0-100kph in 3.5sec. then 0-200 in 12 Sec at best
Who will be surprised?

Ruf cars are great cars that also cost a pretty penny. I think a PSI powered car is a decent alternative to Ruf.
It feels strong with no CEL, MAF, or plugs issues, which is what I'd expect from a quality product that's gone through sufficient R&D.

No secret, turbo lag is a direct function of your A/R ratio. This is a function of the turbo shell and the impellar size. The lower the A/R ratio of the turbo, the less lag. Too low of a ratio and it will become twitchy. Not unlike an over carburated NA motor. The problem with too low of an A/R ratio is the top speed will suffer.

what u really need to know is do u want quick responding turbo or a lggy one taht can get you to higher trap speeds
i for one prefer soemthing in a middle... not too laggy ha s bit of top end but has a good response.. imo when do u really drive 160mph

Maybe my post was invisible
The R Turbo will beat the PSI by almost 100 feet by the time the speedo reads 120 mph, or about 1000 feet.
Adam, would appreciate it if you could post a video of the run.

All I can tell you is that it is the RUF factory R Turbo "550" . 0-62mph: 3.7 sec.

hi guys i just wanted to share my view on my RUF 04 GT2 , i i also have 02 996TT built by EVOMS which is GT 900 which should be identical to todds car i raced both of my cars for a one mile race from a roll my 996TT killed my GT2 it gave him more than 6 car length and the 996TT kept going and going offcourse it would do that cause it has more hp but i was shocked of the performance of MY RUF i was hitting 1.2 bar and i know ruf would always underestimates their hp but their is no comparson whats so ever even if i race a stage 4gt 996tt i'm sure he will beat me cause i remeber having stage 4 gt it was really fast the good thing about my ruf setup is that my car is everyday use the power kicks in very gently its not agressive its quite not loud feels like factory setup and the car is running low boost which make the car reliable .
By the time you read my post i will be switching my ruf parts to evoms stage 4 gt american tunners always make more power than european tunners and japanese tunners maybe they are not reliable but if you are a person like me who is addicted to speed find a good american tunner and stick with him he will make you fly and enjoy your car everyday

A couple of points, you are not comparing apples to apples. GT900 vs. RUF 550?
The second thing is that you should mention that you are an EVOMS dealer just for transparency.
Third, take three laps around the track and time both cars and we will see if the GT900 still beats the RUF on the third lap, it will be so heat soaked that it will drop to less than 550 hp.
One always has to keep in mind these things while comparing. The PSI vs. RUF on the other hand is a fair comparison.
