[Mk2] [Turbo] turbo shopping

[Ryan S]

the efr is generally more expensive because you get a boost controller and bov integrated aswell

I wondered, it does look like a complicated set up, I wouldn't really need any of it to be honest, do they do a cheaper version without all the gubbins?

[mr2magic]

no but i'm pretty sure you need a boost controller and a bov

Nope, the feature of the EFR range is 'everything is integrated!'

Not if you have those bits already

[mr2magic]

tru dat!

[Ryan S]

Is there a version that spools the same without all the bits attached? I have boost control etc.

Just curious, i'm about an inch away from a gtx3071, just negotiating the deal now

[mr2magic]

No unfortunately not

[Ryan S]

No unfortunately not

gaaah, too late now anyway, just bought the Garrett
Complete with v-band housing

[Tsia]

Well, one of the S series from BW would've done it. EFRs are just the 'everything's built in' as I mentioned

I haven't seen one in action, but only heard good things about them though.

Congrats on the Garrett, I'll await updates in the build thread

[Ryan S]

probably won't be many updates for the next few weeks, i'll be waiting on the machine work getting done, i'll be rebuilding the head mind you so i'll update on that, not to mention gratuitous turbo porn pics

I know the feeling, same work being done on my Supra at the mo!

Not yet, it was snowed in where the garage was last week, so work has been delayed a bit. Once I start getting pictures of the engine, I'll get a thread going (Although I should take receipt of the turbo tomorrow...)

[Ryan S]

Keep me updated man, friend of mine has a nice supra, it's a non turbo witha turbo fitted and nitrous mapped by Ryan at 2bar. It's pretty bonkers!!

[bobhatton]

yeah had a look a the EFR range, all internally gated Think i'm gonna just stick with the garrett, seen some available at a good price

managed to sort out a t3 manifold (rather than adapter) and a v-band decat

I would go with a T4 0.82 housing on a GTX3076R for your 450 HP

[Ryan S]

Too late now Bob! Got a gtx3071r with t3 manifold fitment.
