Congrats, I've heard good things about the s256 from a bunch of car buddies, just about went that route myself...still pondering whether or not to go with ZZP's full s256 kit.
Regarding the EFR...my neighbor around the corner works as a tech at Full Race Performance and they have a close relationship with the two development leads from Borg Warner on the EFR turbos (Full-Race Motorsports | Full-Race.com).
He (my neighbor) was actually given one of the first pre-production 8374 EFR's for his Lexus SC 430 build, the thing is a MONSTER, turbine inlet is almost larger than our entire stock turbo.
Anyway...he said the reason for the nationwide backorder on the EFR's was due to contractual obligations with Formula 1 racing (which most of you probably know), all of BW's EFR manufacturing capability went towards fulfilling the order for all of the F1 cars. The order has supposedly been recently completed and they are supposed to be back at full capacity to fill vendor backorders any time now...we shall see if that's the case!
Sorry to go off topic for a moment, either way, that s256 will be a monster if you build the car right! Have fun with it.
