might want to look at the deautsch werks (spelling??) fuel pump instead of the walbro. also get rid of the lower IC piping as its not optimal, expands under boost. manual boost controller should be added. some free flowing 3" exhaust like the buschur. something that doesnt neck down at the cat.

I want an FP green T.T

The Walbro 255 should be fine for those power levels. 1000cc-1050cc injectors if you are going to run pump gas; bigger injectors if you are going to run e85.

kind of off-topic, but the FP turbos are categorized based on power, correct?

Green is entry level, Red is a medium and Black is the high output?

Yes, that's more or less correct.

You also have to think which of them is the best for your specific application.
For example, you have a daily driven Evo, you want some good power, but don't want the turbo to be to laggy, the BB Green might be a good choice.

Hey everyone, thanks for your input. Stuff like a double pumper ect are out of the question since he wants it to be a daily driver (5-6 days a week). The nearest E-85 station is an hour away so that's also out of the question as far as DD goes. He will have a tune for E-85 though just for the track. His set up right now is fulled of crap parts so I'm changing his set-up for him since he's too busy to research and do it himself.

What do you guys think about the MAP EF2 turbo? They also have the install kit as an option so that seems a little easier. Anyone running the EF2 out there?
