now that the FP and other turbos no longer appear stock (they should have made the stainless in the same config as the MHI housings, IMO), i will most likely go the t3 route if/when i lose support for my MAP turbo.

I agree, FP should have stuck with an MHI replacement not something custom that will only drive price even more.
At this point I'm a bit dissuaded by all the options after we HAD such good ones before MHI housings became hard to find. For now, I think Im less concerned with finding a new turbo unless I happen on a good deal used in the BB Green/3B size

I've tuned quite a few GTPumps turbos of various sizing.
To give you equivelant DJ numbers, the 712 = ~500whp tapped on the typical setup, the 762, 580-600 tapped.

another comment is that i think that all options utilizing the oem turbo are on their way out because of the cost of new oem evo 9 turbos. even map turbos are unavailable.

Undoubtedly something will come in to fill the gap. Might be worth revisiting the HKS 7460. It had a rough release, but its gotten largely positive reviews since on lancerregister.
I still think a cast manifold that will accept EFR turbos is the answer.

in fact, i'm actually about to buy me the cheapest VIII turbo i can just for smog because i know, in the future, i'm going to have to go a different route for performance.

how "serious" is the visual check in CA?
If you were to have a tubular manifold that fits below the stock cover, would that be ok?

i've had a place go over the car with mirrors and a book to check everything and i've had places that just kinda take a look under the hood. it's really a crap shoot, but i know regulations are getting tighter.
as for the tubular, it would depend on how much showed under the heat shield.
i have a Turbosmart WGA and it won't pass unless i get lucky. i'll probably need to buy and OEM one to swap out.

you cannot run the IWG setup in VBAND on them - there isnt enough room to come out ;(

Looks like it pulls it in towards the turbo, seems like this might be the key.
Here is another example of a VW EFR kit using a cast manifold, and modified actuator bracket. http://www.performancebyie.com/blog/...50-turbo-kits/

Then make it all fit with the stock radiator, stock placement ICPs, oil/water feeds, etc.
There we go...
