I'm excited, your setup is going to make people
yes, this is what I am considering becuase it could potentially retain A/C in this configuration... of course it will necessitate US owners getting an evo6 style radiator with the offset upper water neck all the way on the left side of the rad. sierra sierra went even farther than evo6:

Question: does the turbo have to be mounted horizontal (i.e., parallel to the ground)?
I'm thinking it would fit if it could be moved more towards the driver's side and angled, so the intake points up and exhaust points down (maybe a 30* angle). Obviously the radiator hose would have to be relocated, but A/C could stay and the exhaust routing would have less of a bend.

That was an awesome read and and a textbook "how to" for marketing turbos to car geeks! I want several of those turbos now.
Mitsu has had titanium aluminide turbine wheels for years though

I was told not to post the EFR guide online until march 1st but i guess that's out the window haha. I worked hard on that booklet and I hope it helps everyone who reads it! There is some great tech and background info on the design and decisions that went into the EFR turbos.
Also, we have a GT2 with a SP700 kit at the shop, an efr comparo would be badass and I am sure Tym would be interested in coming by to help out.

That read was pretty good for this market. It didn't speak to my true inner geek; that would probably take the proprietary stuff to peak my interest. But I really appreciate that the info like that is made available to those that want to learn more. It made me want to buy one when I get around to redoing the turbo on my car, so I guess it worked.
