Just going by the product crossover between OD and FP, I would bet it's the same exact wheel....if you go on Ross Sport's site you can buy an Owens 71HTA and an Owens 73HTA.

I think there needs to be an epic turbo shootout....FP54 Green vs. Blouch 2.0 XT(R) vs. EFR 7163

I wasn't debating who developed it, just saying it looks the same. And the JB version from FP is cheaper, as long as its available.

I asked FP if they could do a BB FP54 and they said no

Also, would the Blouch 1.0 or 2.0 be the better comparison for the 7163?

The 2.0 would be, its the "bbk-b". The blouch 1.0 is a "bbk full".

The 2.0, the turbine/compressor specs are pretty close between the two.

Yes, This Wednesday I am putting the turbo and manifold on.

It's the Full-Race bottom mount manifold, with an Origin Fabrication downpipe and charge pipes to come later.
