S3's too big for EF3?

On a 9 there is no difference, on an 8 that may be a different story. Had to search his posts to find out he has an 8 and not a 9.

However, this is irrelevant. This car does not have S3s, and installing S3s or any other cam set almost certainly will not fix the issue. HKS 272s spool faster than the OE cams.

LOL. From what I recall reading on here the EF-3 turbo spools more or less like the original style JB F.P. Red did.

His EF3 turbo is ported. What that means hasn't been clarified. Could that be relevant? We don't know at this point.

EF3 is 4.3-4.5k peak boost in most cases in my experience.
