bb green are temporaryly out, gtx3071r is cheaper and there are some results that you can find under the dyno section. CBRD FULL BB is good, but for that price is you can check on the agp turbo kit with 5858BB. you can call AGP to get the price direct from them, it will be cheaper than buying from their website.

 

I can't make up my mind. CBRD will do a core upgrade for the BBX BB Full and lite for a little less than a new one. MHI isn't BB but it's brand new and doesn't break the bank. I just don't know if it will fall on it's face in the future with future upgrades. GTX3071R seems comparable to the BBX Full in terms of flow, and it's brand new. Will a turbo with 56/57 lb/min flow be much for my stock block in comparison to the 18k or FP Green @ 54? This is my daily driver w/ a stage 3 clutch I do need good spool characteristics, but I will be road racing a few times a year. I wish they still had the FP Green BB.

 

56/57lb/min wont be too much for the stock block. again, its all depends on your tune. the stock block can also handle the turbo with the same size as fp red. if you really like bb turbo, then 3071 will be your best bet. if you want more top end then pick 3576, do not do 3076.

 

The shop that's gonna do my install/tune is suggesting a GT3076R. Is that the one to avoid? It looks cheap and I haven't found many reviews on it.. Would a GTX3071R be the best option?

 

Borg Warner EFR series. No compressor known to man can compete with their wide efficiency maps. Also, no turbine known to man of equal A/R can compete with their spool characteristics

Full Race makes the kits. The EFR 7670 has the spool characteristics of a GT30 ball bearing but the compressor efficiency range of a GTX3582R

Hate to bring this back from the dead, but FP is now offering FP BB turbos (upgrade only) again for a reasonable price. From what I have researched, the FP Red Bb spools like a boss for a 60lb/min turbo, and would give me a little more headroom than the 18k. Any luck with you guys upgrading your turbos from FP?

 

I have a JB FP green & love it! Basic bolt ons and I made 418/384 on 93 pump on a mustang dyno.

 

Go one size bigger than what your goals are. More power is an addiction EF3

 

FP red, BBX full and EF3 are all good options.


GTX3576R right now seems to be the best stock frame choice though, It is what im leaning towards.

 

Decided on an FP Red BB w/ porting. Just seems like the best option, leaves some headroom for future upgrades, great spool for its size, and made by the company that has been building the best turbos in the biz. Should be done by new year. I'll post results then!

Thank again for your input and expertise guys!

Merica.

 

Just picked my X up and I'm in the same boat op waiting on results; subd

 

plenty of results on our stuff- and recommended by AMS/Cobb/Gates- etc

Any recommendations on Fuel pump manufactures? Getting ready to install turbo next week but just need the extra pieces

 

I would not recommend the MAP turbo as I here too many people are blowing their engines due to bad tunes.

 

MAP turbos and bad tunes are very different issues.
