Thanks sparky!

^That setup would make constant contact with my UICP. I may have a new upper pipe built with the flange located more towards the throttle body.

Well, ETS won't make me a UICP with the Tial flange moved up a couple inches, and no word back from CBRD... My car doesn't like being out of commission... nor do I!

Still contemplating a turbo... I want it to work well on a future 2.3, while taking advantage of this thin atmosphere and crap 91octane.

Sorry to hear, but glad CBRD responded to you promptly even though is wasn't a failure, but rather debris from a busted filter.
You should look into the BB BBK-B...it seems to be a lot of fun. My BBK-Full has about 65k miles+ on it.

I love my BB-BBK-B..

Sorry about your turbo situation. CBRD is always busy, but chad does get back to people. I think I saw on his FB page they were going on a week vacation before moving to the new shop. I'm sure if you boxed up the turbo and sent it in they would get back to you quickly on your options.

If anything, take my B and I'll get a C, LOL

Thanks for the replies gents!

What displacement/CR are you running the "B" on?
What makes you have the urge to go "C"? Power hungry? Haha!

My car is a 2.0L
And my head has no work done(Yet) just dual supertechs. But no oversized valves or porting. This was a determining factor when talking to Chad on the phone. If I had a 2.3 or even head work on the 2.0 he said I could try the C.

And yes, kinda power hungry, LOL. But aren't we all.
I also have a friend who is willing to take my B if I get a C

This is my daily driver, LOL

Either way, I'm sure Chad will get back to you in a timely manner.

CBRD - any chance that there will be holiday pricing on your ball-bearing units similar to what FP is doing?
