Stock Frame turbo upgrade wanted!!

MAP EF3. They are local. Do it.

I've been rocking a MAP EF2X for over 13k miles already and been loving every minute of it. I originally bought a Green but sold it in favor of the EF2 and am very glad I did so...power of a green, but spool/response of stock...best of both worlds if you ask me :)

EF2 will be comparable to the Green, EF3 will be comparable to the Red, EF4 will be comparable to the Black (in terms of peak power output, but the EF-series turbos have better spool/response due to the wheel designs). Not to mention they are local to you...FP is local to me and I still sold it :D

ya i know a lot of guys swear by MAPs EF series.... but I also know a lot of guys who swear by the FP lineup..... i'm going to be talking to the guy tomorrow about his red, so i should know within a couple days. If that falls through, guess I'm going EF!

I think an EF3 is a little big for my goals ( roughly 450 corrected whp on DBs dyno on e85 with good bolt ons and e85) I want a turbo that will make my power goal but not be maxed out doing it, so that way i will have room to grow in the future.... so which EF turbo would be my best option? EF2?

If you want some room for the future do the EF3 (like 550whp ;), but i will warn you its laggier than stock and its a whole different feel until you hit boost than you fall in love. But if your only looking for 450whp you should reach that on the EF2 and E85 no prob

450whp on E85 with the EF2 would be easy; I'm currently at 411 with pump gas/stock cams on a Mustang dyno. My favorite part about this turbo is the stock-like spool and response.

I would do at least the EF3, if you want some room to grow.

You check the national evo forums? There's gotta be an FP turbo in there somewhere ;)

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm going to be lookin at the barely used Red this next Tuesday. If its in good condition I'm going for that. If somehow its not, I'll go EF3. Sounds like a green or EF2 would be about maxed at anything above 465 wheel. I don't wanna buy turbos twice so I'll deal with the slight lag of the red. Sounds like it will hit harder up top to make up for it, and having the torque at a higher rpm is probably better for my stock bottom end anyway. Thanks guys!!

Shane, i emailed DB, not sure if you got it. I've been trying to get ahold of you guys, did you all take a long weekend for memorial day?? :)
