The White Rabbit we've been tuning with is on a car that aided in the testing for FP. His setup is rather unique:

but the results are impressive:

We've got another WR going on a TR-303 EVO (Exhale cat-back, Aperture, P2) and are planning to build the T2 flash with it. This will provide the proper flash for your "everyday" EVO. Once complete, WORKS will have the proper flashes to go with our entire lineup. Stay tuned!

Please get before and after dynos if possible!

Thanks for the hard work and research on this part!

We have a few WR flashes done and are working on getting the gaps filled before we "offically" have the flashes ready to go.

If you have any comparisons on WR to stock w/mild mods (3"TBE, for instance), the crowd would love to hear about it - especially we P2 owners...

Just a little conversation I had with FP about the WR turbo... I have one of the preproduction test units for those who don't know. I had questions about how much boost would cause the WR to over speed, and at what boost level would back pressure become an issue. The upgraded high pressure actuator is a must for anyone running this turbo in my opinion. The OE actuator is the weak link to providing steady high boost. My boost solenoid duty cycles were cut in half with this upgrade, and if adjusted just slightly too tight, you have boost creep issues at 25psi instead of boost taper issues. This turbo can hold more boost than people are aware of with a better actuator. Here is a clip of that communication:

Zeusmotorworks: Some people are asking questions about the WR... At what point would you consider the turbo being "over spun" based on boost pressure... and at what boost pressure does the pressure differential start backing it up?

FP: Under intended operating conditions, boost under 30psi, the turbo doesn't overspeed.

FP: There is a decreasing boost pressure that you want to stay under dependent on RPM.

FP: at 5k 35psi is fine, BP ok

FP: at 6k 28psi Ok

FP: at 7k 26psi ok

FP: at 8k not much point running higher than 25psi.

Zeusmotorworks: That's what I was looking for... thanks!

FP: we actually welded some slugs into the WG holes of a TH and drilled then out so the WG holes were .250"

FP: we could run more than 30psi to 8500

FP: but you get lots of BP and no more power

Zeusmotorworks: Jesus...

FP: well we got no more power in our test, we were having ignition breakup issue during th testing, but it was irrelevant since the purpose of the test was to get the BP dat.

wow zeus thats great info to know thanks for sharing it. It makes this turbo very tempting to get as a replacement
