You are almost right, Reid.... but still not going rotated... I have a really, really nice balance right now.... for a DD...

And I'm still holding at 18-19mpg mostly city. I'm not always in boost like with my first prototype PDX turbo where there's zero lag.

 

You should hold out and wait till the new EFR stock location turbos are released. They're coming out with stock location and new line of T3 and T4 turbos that look promising.

The new EFR t4 turbos have new IWG which would make install a cake and would perform as well as an EWG--just extend the up pipe a bit with an extension, weld in a t3 or t4 flange, and fab new downpipe. I'm working on making an adapter, like the turboxs unit, to add this turbo to an existing stock up pipe.

 

That is the Mother of All Turbos that aren't rotated! Any lag?

 

Hey Brent,

Please add me to the list. I should be ready by then.

 

SIMON, glad to hear from you!!! Is brandon still there?? Stickers was alright to be honest with you... You still got a loyal customer though

 

Sorry to hear that, Walt. I was in the mainland when you requested the stickers. If the stickers were created in vector art, it should look spectacular. If it was from a bitmap art or bitmap then to vector, then not so good.
I never got to see the stickers. Let's meet up soon and talk about it.

Brandon is no longer with us.

Thanks, Walt!

 

Possible if i can find a nice new turbo by then

 

hmmm....double post on accident...read below.

 

Like others, I've experienced several turbo's...I had an 04 STI with similar mods as yours...with a Forced Performance TD06-18g...I currently have this in my 06 WRX as well...I like it...fast spool up with more top end than the stock VF-39...fun turbo...

I also had a 05 STI with a Forced Performance Red turbo...I really like this turbo as well...spool up was smooth. controlled and I really didn't experience any of the lag that people often attribute to this turbo...mainly due to Jarrad's tune and the 2.5l engine...

I use to be more of a 0-60 kind of guy (18g) but since owning the Red, I prefer the smoother high end feel of the bigger turbos...which is why, due to budgetary reasons, I will most likely upgrade to an FP Green prior to this next tune.

The FP green with my mods will get me around 350hp/380ftlbs with little lag and a nice top end...

If I stick with the 18g, I'll probably be in the 330hp/360ftlbs range.

Best thing to do is to request rides at one of the meets...people here are cool.

 

The list is continuing to grow...this is going to be an exciting tune session!

 

Everyone...think E85...maybe the dang politicians will push it through...

 

Hmmm, E85 + HTA Green + water/meth. Might need to retune w/ Jarrad in the future

 

Definitely a retune! AND if you're committed to E85, you can rip off the meth kit and stick in new 1000cc injectors!

 

Thats right, better yet! Now I do have to tune w/ Jarrad on the E85 (hopefully happens soon) . Thanks Simon!

 

yeah, then i can buy your 850cc injectors! haha
