The black did spool up around 100-120RPM sooner but the EF4 pulls harder from about 5k all the way to redline on my setup. So 25lbs around 3900 with the black (JB) and about 4020 with the EF4. This is on a 2.3 liter.

I have a BR2.0LR at STM being assembled right now, I think I want to try out the EF4 on it sometime before the Shootout. I like trying different things and it seems like it would make good power. If it made 550+ on a Mustang dyno that'd be sickkkkkkk.

Transient response was slightly better with the black but not significant, which is expected off a bigger turbo. Still very daily driver friendly with stroker motors.

Yep.. if your main concern is spoolup and response then you should be looking at a smaller turbo. If you want the biggest kick *** turbo in a stock frame then EF4 is your choice...

On another note, the EF4 sounds louder than the black esp during spoolup with the same intake pipe. That was the first thing I noticed when I switched turbos...

results should be up soon...400km more until the motor is run in. first impression is that the ef3 spools up very quick for its size. i was to be honest expecting more lag hehe
