For now I want to mod my K04 and see how that feels with 300whp or so. then when i want to go bigger turbo, I can stil use the same bolt ons that i had before. Instead of making another investment for bolt ons for a new kind of turbo.
Bolt on turbo FTW!

Also has alot to do with driving habits... if you have say... 440 ft tq... and you NLS and launch hard and goto the track everyday, yeah something will happen. But for the daily once maybe twice street run. It should be fine depending on how you drive I suppose, I've had mine tuned for over 50k miles and have yet to have a issue being fully bolted and 23 psi, but then again my clutch starting slipping around 50k~
Lmao, My transmission hasn't blown up yet, I got around 55k on my car. The waste-gate on the turbo fucked up though hence doing a 13.5 at 100 mph after having your car hit a P0299 code and cutting the boost off lmao.

Yes, this is an EFR based turbo. It has an unbelieveable list of features:
Ball bearing
Water cooled
Billet wheel
Extended tip
Stainless exhaust housing
Titanium/aluminide exhaust wheel
Built-in recirc bypass
Built-in wastegate
We took all of this and added:
Bolt-on to LNF manifold
LNF exit for factory O2 housing
Re-designed wastegate actuator bracket for use in this application
Adapter fitting for factory LNF oil inlet hose
This setup uses our off-the shelf charge tubes, intercooler, downpipe, etc... It also has a stock airbox and our silicone intake coupler with a slight modification.
The best part about this setup is the simplicity. I got the turbo on the car and strapped it on the dyno. The first pull was 411whp, the 2nd pull was 473. The 3rd pull was 487, then 489. Then I had to make some adjustments to the wastegate actuator to get more boost and the next pull was 509whp. Looking at the dyno sheet, you can see 25psi at 3400 RPM, so lag is not an issue either. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this project so far.

What exactly is this turbo info like trim and numbers.

Man I really want this set up bad! Quick question im blowing through map sensors like crazy specific the manifold pressure sensor and thats my car with trifecta tune. Do u think its necessary to upgrade to 3bar before getting the new turbo set up?

If you're moving a lot more air mass and running higher pressure ratios (i.e. boost) that this turbo can support I'd personally want a calibration that can accurately read what's going into the engine. With how much boost this turbo is capable of running, yes, the sensor upgrade and matching tune/calibration would be smart in my book. It's almost always better to work with the computer and provide it proper inputs than to try to work around it and hope it runs right.
i wish someone made a Tubular turbo manifold (not log style) that keeps the turbo in the stock posititon. HInt Hint ZZP!! lmao!! i know our manifold isnt too bad on flow, but i would kind of like one to pair with this turbo, since our manifold is twinscroll and this turbo is single scroll. Plus i just LOVE the look of a tubular turbo manifold!!
