Pros and Cons?
Average numbers hp tq boost of each?
Best suited for Daily Driving/ Stage 2-3 setups/ Dynos etc.
Pump gas.
Anybody with knowledge please.

Completely different sized turbos. The Green is best suited for pump gas, daily driving 100%. If you are looking to model more of a drag setup the red would be the best bet for the stock block. The red would still have a pretty fat powerband, where as the black comes on much later than the green and would give you a much smaller power band and only suites full drag setups or stroker blocks.
Ive ran the FP RED 3 years ago along with meth and put down 455whp 429wtq 33psi on dynojet.
I just got back into the Evo x again its been 3 years and was curious about what was out now compared to FP RED. I DONT plan on running meth this time but would like to still be around those numbers on pump gas.
Was wondering which turbo out now can do that (along with the whole rest setup of course). no meth

Pick the general size of turbo and go from there; you're attempting to compare the entire spectrum of aftermarket stockframe turbochargers.
I've personally had both the EF2 and EF2.5 on my car. Both are great pump gas street turbos.

@ Mirk....No built block.
Didnt have a built block on the former evo x either. Actually I had a shep rebuilt tranny, CAM stock, AMS Fuel rail , 1000cc injc.. etc.

This X is brand new 2013 though gsr of course. Been out of the building evos world for a few years though.

Maybe you should take time to drive, enjoy, and learn the car before jumping into a larger turbo. Figure out what aspects of the stock turbo you like, and which you don't.

The torque you're seeking is pushing it for a stock block. It wouldn't blow instantly, it might last forever, but that's far from certain. You might want to either build the engine or back the torque down a bit.
That kind of whp would be tough to hit with a green/ef2 on pump gas, so I guess that narrows it down a bit for you.

MAP EF3 is comparable to a Red. With full bolt-ons, you should be able to see 450+ Dynojet on pump fairly easily. I've personally made 400+ with the EF2, and 425+ with the EF2.5, both on pump gas/stock cams on a Mustang. I have no doubts that cams would get my EF2.5 beyond 450.Originally Posted by Yearlongstorm

Thats actually pretty helpful too, because along with what the above guy said, I was worried about the limits of the stock block but Im hearing that the 2011-13 models are built stronger and improved over the former o8 model X i had. I dont wanna kill the ability for daily driving so I was narrowing it down to EF2.5 or FP Red (as Im familiar with already) on pump gas no meth to settle for 415-450hp tq range. I know Meth and Cams will surely put me above 45o hptq on either turbo on Iveys Dynojet. ThanksOriginally Posted by Kracka

I don't think any part of the engine is different in newer models except the timing chain.
