The MHI does look like a great turbo, but not sure it'll get me 400whp on 91 with stock cams..

I am definitely not running stock block man - COBB completely built my engine in every aspect.

It was just the right way to go for me. Not internals aren't the numbers or environment I want on my car.

if it's restricted to 3/8", why not just run a 3/8" hose?

Because I didn't want to buy more AN fittings, so I shoved a restrictor in the line.

I am now in the same boat, looking at what is avaliable for my Evo 6 as a stock replacement or as close to.

I have a EF3 which is giving me 420whp with factory cams at 25psi but it makes full boost at 5k. I am getting a bit over the lag, and wanting to put in some cams I know will make things worse.

I have come across an old ATP GT3076 Duall BB turbo with factory Evo inlet flange, and 3" V band exit with a .82 rear housing.
http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...de=GRT-TBO-005

And I have now seen the FP Evo 9 71HTA upgrade option, which is pretty cheap upgrade from factory TD05 and seems to work well from what I have briefly read, and have quick spool!


My EF3 has no problem delivering me power, we did manage a one off 470whp run but it was a bit unsafe. It is just laggy as! And I cant figure it out.
Has anyone got any advice for the above turbos? I am not completley sold on the ATP, it is old technology and they have very mixed reviews!
Is there any other oprions? FP Reds are now beyond my price range with the exchange rate


Sorry for hijacking this thread!

The 71hta is the route I was going to go, but I couldn't find a hot side for sale in the size I wanted. It's a great setup. It will spool much faster than that ef3 and make good power.
Then again, I like smaller turbos. Cars feel faster to me when they are torquey as opposed to making everything above 6krpm. So take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Where do you guys find the FP turbos for sale? On their website they list the prices for green red and black as 9,999 and say they only produced a limited supply. So how is that such a popular setup? Is the website misleading? How much do these turbo upgrades actually go for, certainly not 9,999.

Thanks
