HKS Turbo? Or?

Last night someone mentioned a viable replacement for the FP series turbos from HKS and another manufacture for the EVO X. Im interested in reading up and getting opinions on what else is out there. Keep in mind its got to be a stock frame turbo.

Thanks

It all depends on what your intended use is for the car(drag, auto-x, road course, highway beast, etc.). Give us some more information so a solid recommendation can be made.

If I were to buy a stock-frame turbo right now it would be either a BBX or BBX Lite.

Yup, CBRD/Blouch make the BBX and BBX Lite. I would also consider the HTAGreen and look into that new HKS stock-frame.

Plenty of good choices, just need to figured out exactly what fits your needs the best.

There were a ton of problems with that garret unit when it came out for the Evo X like a year ago. There are very few people running it.

Would you guys mind updating your website to reflect that? I was wanting to read what you guys had about the BBX Lite but it's not listed at all, just the BBX.
