Hello again. Not sure if you remember but I have the older V12 Rody the 415 model. I was wondering what turbo head button would fit my model and if I'd need a new heatsink as well? Also, what pipe should I get for it? I'm looking to step up the performance in my RB.

P.S How does my model compare to the EFRA Rody? Is it about the same in power/speed or so?

Turbo button, part#01700-013, no need to change the heatsink.

With the turbo-button you should have about the same performances as the EFRA legal engines.

Pipe suggested #E1751-193401

Outstanding Rody! Thnx again! My LHS has one in stock at the moment and I'm going to purchase it. Any choice of plug, change of shims, I'd need to do?

No need to change the shims and try to use the glowplugs part#01051-6

Thank's a lot Rody. My RB runs quite noticably faster and revs a lot higher with the turbo head button. I'm really pleased with the purchase and can honestly say it's well worth it. Before my V12 Rody 415 would run, but just seemed like it was missing something nor running as fast as it should no matter what I did. The pipe is still on order, but lucky they did have the head button. There was a difference in compression, but realibility wise and running it's like a whole new engine. Thanks again and take care! Happy New Years to you and the RB team!

Scratch that...it was slightly faster yes, but got a little finicky to tune when the temperature dropped. The std plug remains stable despite the temp change. Thnx again still. :)The RB pipe is on order. Any certain manifold I can look at?
