Re: turbo recommedations

I would second Brandon’s comments about BW. Personally I would splurge for the EFR series. It will make about the same power as a PTE ball bearing turbo, they have the same tech like billet comp wheels, spool fast, etc. They do cost a fair amount but if you want to run a good amount of boost they offer internal wastegates and built in recirc/bov valves. So you don’t have to buy those components which nets about same price in the end. Plus they have built in restrictors for oil feed, so you don’t have to worry about oil pressure blowing out seals. But you do have to run water lines. Very good turbos for the money if you ask me, I’d take one over a PTE or FP turbo any day.

Edit: I run two of the little EFR turbos on my car and love them. They flow 50% more air for the same spool as the old T28 Garrett turbos.
