CBRD BBK TURBO Available Now!!
Meh on the headstuds, but this is a whole different topic.
If you don't have them already when you bolt this turbo on, get a megan or buschur ss o2 housing, ported exhaust manifold, and chose CBRD's porting option. This will easily get you an extra 10-15whp, and takes care of all the hotside power mods in one swoop. Get a new o2 sensor while you're at it.

I just got back home from picking the car up and it is awesome. The spool and power delivery are just like with the stock turbo as far as speed, but then it just keeps going.
It doesn't slam you back in your seat like some bigger turbos, but it hits hard and very fast. It is kind of a deceptive power delivery. It plants you back and then proceeds to rip through the rest of whatever gear you are in very quickly. Before you know it you are at redline about to hit the rev limiter. A good description was that it is kind of like a V8. The power comes on down low and then just continues to push you all the way up.
The response between shifts is incredible as well. You hit redline in no time and when you shift, it is like the power turns off for a split second and then is right back on.
This turbo is exactly what I was looking for, stock like response with the ability to get 400 plus on the CBRD dyno. I couldn't be happier with the turbo and the way the car is running.
For anyone looking to get around 400 hp this is the only choice in my opinion. To have that kind of power with stock spool really is just awesome and way too much fun. Thanks to Chad and everyone at CBRD and anyone who was a part of developing this great turbo. CBRD and BBK FTW!!!

If Lite spools better than stock and Full spools as good as stock it is BBK Full for me
I totally agree. Talked to Chad and won me over with BBK Full placing my order in couple of weeks. All my buddys were go with FP Green or BB HKS GTII but I really think Full will outspool them and put some impressive numbers on top. Just my thought and spending last 10 days on Evo forums
Had a the same dilehma and my choice BBK Full and guys from CBRD just awesome

so let me get this straight...with some supporting mods like the TBE, FMIC, better fuel pump, and bigger injectors you can be looking into the 350whp range or higher? then add cams, bigger o2 housing, and some more boost you can be looking into the 400+whp range? this turbo is a beast! i've read this whole thread, but real quick just to clarify a few things, if i was to aim for the 375-400whp range what all supporting mods should i look at? and also this is a total newb question but for the full version on this turbo i would not need to send in my core correct? thanks guys for any input
