It sounds to me that there are some ppl that want in now and some others that are waiting for dyno results. I'm just guessing here but I think Matt will get the 5 ppl easy for this buy then do another one after we both get dynoed.

Now im not knocking this k04-r or whatever it is. It sounds like a good, viable option for most, as most are not looking for over 400whp or willing to spend $2k on a turbo. And frankly, I'm happy that someone is offering the community another option for turbo upgrades, it makes competition and that is good for business.
The reason i upgraded to a LSJ 4.05 is bc my LNF 3.82 blew up with the K04 on e47. So Its not that im scared, but the way the torque hits with it coming in smooth at 4000 is also that i don't want to do 50+ mph burnouts = me possibly losing a roll race bc loss of traction. And the ZFR7163 if it ever comes out, will be a great turbo, but i'm not going to be swapping my 6758 for one. There comes a point where you realize that over 450whp is just silly in a FWD street car.

def seems like an awesome deal! I too am down to see some #'s as well but either way if it performs as good as the k04+ and has relatively the same #'s its still a great buy for some guys who dont have e85 around them like me! All the talk though and from what Matt and KMO have been saying this thing rips. I wanna know what the turbo flows at lbs/min? Either way this thing will def be my next purchase in a couple months!

id buy a used zfr for over one of these for 495 + 150 core - 645 vs ~1000
@08VRSS - lol maybe 450+ on FWD is useless, but gotta keep up with the Jones
I d upgrade to the 7163 just to run 480 on pump alone and that would be barely pushing that turbo.

i thought so but wasnt sure because the one guy (63 Nova SS) i believe was his username said his k04+ flowed at 37lbs/min lol so if this wheel is supposed to be bigger shouldnt it flow more efficiently and flow more lbs/min?

This is what is slowing me down. I can't wait to get this fixed to finally get numbers
The sad part is that is only one of 2 splits and the welds are leaking like swiss cheese too
