If anyone wants to try one, just give me a shout. They have a great warranty as well if anything did go wrong they really stand behind their product. There are several different options on the turbo.

Anyone willing to do a full review with dyno I will give $200 back on the order.

 

Cool. I would like to see how different is this from the Tomei ARMS. Looks like it is the same turbo. Please give details on the setup of the test car.

 

For sure

It will get its own thread.

i have one exoticspeed turbo in my STI. This is ES450 r(td06 20g) ball bearing(IHI center), spool very fast and the torque is good, but the center is delicate and need to put a restrictor or you can damage the turbo early. In this moment, the turbo is smoking and dont have more than 2000 miles.

 

Is it done yet?

 

That's true for ANY BB Turbo. Just the nature of the beast.

 

I always thought the BB CHRAs handled higher boost levels and abusive roadracing applications better than journal bearings... No?

 

Yes, the Garrett centers are stronger than IHI, but the spool up of the IHI´s is faster. IHI have the bad fame of smoking turbo´s and are delicate.
The question here will be how is the spool up of these turbos and if EXOTICSPEED sell the spare parts or centers to repair

 

Any updates?

 

BUMP. Did you get this turbo Mr. Bradley?

They don't have prices for BB CHRA evo 4-9 turbos listed, just journals.

I want info on this and the HKS BB stock frame badly.

 

Don't mean to bump old threads, but I'm so interested in this turbo! Or if anyone skimped the gun on one. Or will I be the first to test one of these? Was looking up info and found this thread

 

Well I decided to try this turbo out. Biggest mistake I've ever made!!! This turbo is a joke! On this turbo I only made 372hp on e85.. Spools slower. Doesn't have that first hit either. All the bolt were loose on the housing when I first out it on was leaking exhaust from the center housing. The j pipe the sent me is 2 foot long so that is usless. Also has no nipple for your boost line. I produced more power on the stock turbo!!! After dealing with this company I have nothing good to say about them. The respond some what quick which was a surprise! But you have to ask the same question 3-4 times to get and actually answer out of them. Not to mention if you send anything back it's in Canada so that took. 3 weeks to go through customs. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!!!!! I ended up loosening 250bucks on trying this out. Because of a 25% re stocking fee. Thought I would share my feed back so no one else makes this same mistake I did!

 

How much more were you making on your stock turbo?
