I know there's a lot of threads like this, so here's another. I have a built motor (I-beams, AMS spec pistons, manley crank, main and head studs, gsc s2's, beehive valve springs) and am looking to put down 450 whp for my DD.

Debating between the following turbos FP Green or Red, or CBRD BBK-Full or BBK-BB-B. Leaning towards the CBRD bc of what I've heard of spool.

What's the most cost effective header?

Which o2 housing is the best without causing boost creep. Looking for internal dump not external because it's my DD. Thanks!!

 

This is for my IX btw

 

bbk full or fp red, stock ported mani, and any reputable 02 housing.

 

let me know if we can be of assistance-

I loved my FP Red until it broke. The main issue I had with it was surge in 5th gear at low rpm. If I would attempt to accelerate to pass the car would start bucking. If I shifted to 4th there was no issue.

I would choose a different turbo next time if I went back to stock frame.

 

^^^ thats not just an FP based turbo, my stock 8 (10.5) does the exact same thing..and as for CBRD posting 3rd in sumones thread who didnt even make the thread about them is crazy, its really good to see vendors actually pay attention to these forums and wanna help out the evo community instead of just sit back and wait for sumone to call and ask for information

 

Pump gas or e85?
