Turbo Upgrade?

I dont have the car yet, but Im getting one as soon as i get back from my TDY. I have a T3/T4 60-1 Precision Turbo.
The questions I have are

1. Is there enough room to put that size of turbo back there
2. Does any one on these forums have almost the same set up
3. Is Treadstone have the only T3 turbo flanged manifold
4.

what do you get with it, all i could find is about the turbo and intercooler upgrade for $2700-$4400. I am not spending that much on a turbo upgrade if i already have a turbo i could use.

You can also get a TTR T3 Log manifold and bolt that 60-1 up. You will need to add a EWG Flange to the manifold since it doesn't come with one standard. I believe Aaron offers that as an option tho also! Manifold is cheap but good quality IMO.

Forced Inductions


Check out these guys, I talked to them last week and they said EFR's suck ass.

Been using them in 1400 HP Cosworth rally cars and he said the bearings just come apart..


NOT only that but he also said expect a 6 month turn around on ANY EFR warranty work as parts are not easy to come by right now..


I then talked to another company who makes turbo castings for BW and they said BW just got there EFR figured out..But DID admit to serious problems in the design prior to the work around ..

This is all rumor, cant trust just anyone but these guys are about as legit as you can get... but as of right now I am officially OFF the EFR band wagon .... It's not worth it . It's all hopes and dreams right now...


I am leaning towards a T3 my self with a TS mani ..


Care to PM and ill give you there numbers and everything to see for your self what real world applicators are facing with EFR turbos.

I think that is the reason for the EFR, so it will be a stealth bolt on. People wont have to change their current intakes or charge pipes. Probably just the downpipe and I'm sure it will come with the bolt on kit. Best is to contact them directly..

I do HPT, in Southern Colorado.


Your best bet with this kind of setup is to get a HPT cable pro and do street tune first then dial it in on a dyno once you get time .. Emailing your tuner of choice back and forth ..
