No Halaltech shit there Dan if thats what ya thinking lol? ? He'd need 2 elite 2500s to run his car. ✌

What data? You told us you wouldn't use 1 again because you can't run 35psi? I kind of find it hard to believe you didn't know about the speed limitations these turbos have as it is WELL documented and i have a feeling you would have done Some research in making your turbo choice? You will be the 1st 1 to call these turbos rubbish when you blow it up because you overspun it as you couldn't spend an extra few bucks on a sensor mindlessly winding up the boost when you know these turbos limitations.

That has gotta be the dumbest shit I've read on SAU in quite a while and it didn't come from the skidmark sadly.... A few questions... A) Why are you getting caught up in "boost pressures"? Who gives a f**k about boost pressures! Would you wanna make 500kw at 30psi or 500kw at 35psi? Boost pressures DO NOT mean more power. A more efficient motor/setup will make the same power on less boost so that is absolutely meaningless! B) Does the turbo you chose make the power you aimed for? If not guess what? Its time for a BIGGER TURBO! C) Does it not drive better than anything you've driven before and any mates or family members non EFR cars? IF you answer yes. THAT IS what these turbos are all about. Even if you use a smokey old precision or a GTX and "overspin it" its gunna drop its guts out the dump pipe just like any other turbo will if being used outside of its efficiency range. Just so happens the EFR is more sensitive to this fact! Instead of wasting your time on silly posts like that & wanting to throw endless amounts of boost into your stock motor, chuck a $200 speed sensor in your compressor cover and see where your speed is at and see IF you can turn the wick up some more SAFELY! If not throw a shitty PTE on your car and enjoy topping your oil up regularly!

Yeah id rather $1400 worth of gear than BC's too...

f**k BC's why would you choose them over the MCA blues?

THAT!^^^ You haven't even driven the thing properly lol so dont comment till its sorted ?

If anyone would know about that it'd be you mate! ?

Bin cross flow cooler they are useless.

I did give a lil tip back a page mate ?

Which 1 mate lol?

Haha which part mate? No sorcery just good gear and products ?

Fixed ya meme bro ?

Were you planning on staying 98 when/if you upgraded turbos? 7s can be maxed out on 98 so i wouldnt really expect much more power even with E85. Though you may pick up some nice extra torque from feeding it some more timing ? Sadly if you want high 300s the -5s may not quite get you there on 98 either. Unless your setup is 100%. If you are currently at 310 on 7s would you be satisfied with say roughly around the 370 zone with 5s on 98 but not getting anywhere in a hurry below 5000rpm? I know im probably gunna get flamed here but I'm gunna say it....... I dont want to start a dyno debate here and its not my intention to rubbish Action Dans results either as he is just sharing the result he got. But this is purely "my opinion" but i think 380kw on 9s is coming into -5 power territory and i dont think a set of cams is gunna net you a whole turbo size larger power increase unfortunately. So yes i think its around 30-40kw higher than the other 1000's of results from 9s. Hey i could be wrong and he could have 1 of those "freakish motors" that just makes gobs of grunt?

Thats a tricky 1 id have to say good advice given so far. Its seems unlikely the actuator is the problem cause they are a proven performer. Also looks like its ramping up onto boost quite hard and fast even if your source for boost may or may not be right. What size rear housing are you running mate? At a wild stab with data supplied im wondering if your boost control settings need a tweak.. Probably 1 of the easiest things to check and eliminate also ?

Lol i sold that POS on behalf of a friend. I never thought it was good as it never remembered the tune properly mate. Sadly that wasn't a bad thing because the tune was as bad as the ECU ? I wasn't going to offer my ACTUAL opinion on that when i was trying to sell it haha ?

Oh well out with the passengers seat for boxy goodness?

Wait.... What?! Only 1 box? ?

I honestly dont think there is any magical combination that will work better than the old GT series -7s to -5s for the stock low mount setup unfortunately. There are just too many issues working against them. I have to say i agree with Lithium and say probably only the GTX2860 wheel would maybe just still have enough turbine flow for that compressor. Just makes me wonder though. Does anybody actually know if the billet GTX wheels are lighter than the cast GT wheels? Is it really worth it?

Heres the apprentice on the piss.... As usual! Think im gunna lay him off and find someone who actually works! Though he does keep me hydrated. This detailing is thirsty work! ?

50/50 Can you tell the compounded side? ?

Like glass! ?
