CBRD- BBK info- NEW turbos, etc...
FiD, ToxicFab (although not clear that he is going to market it), and Fortune Auto all look nice. The first two are equal length while the Fortune Auto is not. All have documented significant gains. The FiD has an awesome collector setup with the tubing aiming into the turbo at as optimum angle as possible.

We're looking forward to seeing some dyno #s shortly with the FiD Manifold and BBK as well as the FiD+FP Black. We've already seen significant gains on the FiD+FP Red.

CBRD FTW! i am actually thinking of letting this turbo hit the streets first and seeing what people are managing with it on pump. i might just order the Full and upgrade later. athough i really didnt want to do that. but if the car can be balanced now with the full and on 93 than when its time i can get the motor and head built and the full can get upgraded to the B and e85 will hopefully be the fuel of choice!
plus i have always wanted the Full so might as well experience the Full first and you cant beat a reliable and strong stock frame turbo!

+1 on the data and comparasions. thats why i will just go with the Full. i am sure that i will love the Full and from the data that is out it should be a really good choice for me. later on i will probably upgrade to the B but i think i will have a blast with the Full
i am really interested in seeing spool difference and response. we know that the power will be more with the B i also would like to see the reliablity of this turbo in the long run as well.
a fun street car with really good power and great response and spool is all i'm looking for right now. when i get more serious than the B might be employed!

Guys, jump in, get a turbo, test it, post the results. It's really that simple. Everyone expects good/hard data to be just spoon fed to them and at some point you gotta realize that you gotta just jump in and add your own data to the pool
Honestly, all of these are good choices, but I still vote for BBK Full: fits your current intake, stock oil lines, OEM WGA, less overall cost, less stuff to deal with, all of the fun

i understand on just jump in and see but if the turbo is not to my liking than i dont want to have the hassle of trying to unload it to get the turbo i want lol. i like the fast spool if i can keep that and add some more power than i'll try the Full first. plus after thinking (been deployed for 120+days so i have plenty of time for that) i hardly ever run the car to the upper rpm range unless its a quick spirited run or an occasional drag strip nite. the car is used mostly on the street from stop light to stop light. quick bursts of speed. i think for me right now my choice are the Full and the Green. both great choices both good turbos but the Full had me hooked since day 1.
Yeah I think I am going to stick with the B if I have to just jump in. With my set up I would probably make 380whp max with a Full and I am looking for more than that for the money. Again, drove a Full car and while awesome, I want a bit more. And until very recently I was one of those guys always looking for the SMALLER and more responsive turbo. But the Full is so good on response I can sacrifice a bit to go with the B.
One good point you bring up is the intake. Seen the Green requires a 80mm intake w/ the 84mm surge port housing. This is not the case with the B, correct? Was planning to run a Perrin tube to the stock MAF which is currently connnected to my APS cold air. So you can run a stock intake tube if you choose the B, right? And what type of anti-surge housing is on the B again?

Correct...BBK-B still uses stock compressor housing so no special intake needed...I am a fan of the silicone intakes though...I wish someone made one that worked with the stock compressor housing and didn't have a bov recirc tube on it...I'm Just going to go with a JMF non recirc intake then...
The new FP green hasn't even crossed my mind since I sold my FP black...I'm gonna go with the BBK-B full for now then upgrade to the BBK-B later this winter...

Well guys I've been reading and reading and I really wanted to go with Chad and they BBK-B but I decided to go with the HTA Green. I have a full bolt on car including ported everything Exhaust manifold, intake, 65mm tbody, 02 housing, cbrd intercooler, cams and it will be on 93. Shooting for around 400whp but we shall see.

^That may not be a bad idea. I could warrant paying for another tune if I went from Full to B and added a stage 3 head and drop-ins, more aggresive cams and valvetrain. The B on 30psi on 93 would be sick. This is snowballing already...haha....I never planned to do drop-ins and head work...
