Where to buy CBRD RAD Turbo Upgrade?

I've tried contacting CBRD but my calls go to voicemail with no call back. I thought I'd read another shop was working with them to get em out, but can't remember which. Anyone know?

Chad, if you read this, give me a call. My number is in your PM inbox.

Yeah I thought they did too. But I tried calling him once before and it took a while for him to call back. He's pretty busy cause I know theyre doing a lot of changes especially with their new online store trying to go up I believe. Once he calls you back and you talk to him though he;s a really cool guy and knows a lot man

Oh, I don't doubt it, and I know he's busy. I'm in no way trying to say anything bad about Chad or CBRD, just wondering what the alternatives are to obtaining this thing....

I also talked to FP and they can upgrade our turbo for $795... but I'd prefer CBRD. Here is what they said:

If the core is good we will go a billet HTA upgrade for $795. It is a 65mm HTA wheel with a 43 lb/min flow rate that.

Why do they not advertise that? Based on soft calculations, that would equate to 415chp, or ~345whp (assuming that standard 17% drivetrain loss):
43 lb/min = HP*A/F*(BSFC/60)
Assuming a standard 11.3 AFR and .55 BSFC (Evo X is .6, so giving soft estimate here?)
X= 43/(11.3*.103508)
X= 415chp

Why would FP NOT advertise a stock frame turbo (their bread and butter) that can outflow a CBRD stock frame (one of their biggest competitors, not in volume of units sold but capabilities)??? That doesn't make sense...

Removed to keep this thread on topic, look for the fp turbo thread in the RA turbo section.

I don't know why they don't but I do know that would be awesome if they did. I just emailed them the link to this forum, hopefully they will check it.

Thanks to EyeDreamt:

Reason they don't advertise, they feel it's too small (too true).

sorry if we didnt respond-

we personally have our own RA- that we developed the turbo, fmic, piping, intake etc ALL specific to the RA- not just a simple upgrade on the turbo..

I will be in touch!
