EFR 7064 Twin Scroll / IWG / Pfab Top Mount / V-Mount build

The EFR turbos have an excellent IWG. The vented exhaust never really makes it into the turbine housing, which is another reason why I chose this turbo to run IWG with. I don't suspect the boost threshold to be so high that spooling this turbo will be an issue. When I sized the EFR for my STi, I went with a larger hot side than most at .85, but it has reasonable spool and doesn't choke up top. It is also a T25 flange. Many of what you've stated is why I elected to build my own setup. There wasn't a single kit out there that met all the requirements I had.
The battery will probably have to be relocated. I used a 4ish lbs battery, so it should be pretty easy to fit anywhere.

I've fancied the idea of hodge podging together my own turbo kit with a greddy style log manifold, upgraded gt30 turbo, and an SOS V-mount setup. In theory I think it would be ok, but my biggest concern would be the manifold being a restriction. My free time has been bogged down with kids lately and I don't even get enough track time.. Me personally, 320-350whp would be plenty. My car is still a street car so keeping AC/not relocating the battery/etc is nice. Definitely excited to see how this turns out.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited about it all. I'm trying to do it all right the first time... I've overlooked things in the past which were fine for a street car, but then killed a motor on the road course. That's been over a decade ago, but you never forget.

l am already subscribed to your thread. I'm already following it. It's coming along nicely and when you want to upgrade spring rates, I might have mine for sale to go even stiffer. I should see you out at MAM/RPM this year as I want to do a Fast Friday and a MACE Roll Race event.

I think they open up in May, but there should be a schedule posted on their website. As for alignment, I know a guy at the Honda Dealership that can get you squared away and maybe I can work out the same deal I had with him for alignments.

At which dealership? i usually go to the shop inc in lincoln. may is pretty late, thought the weather would clear up much sooner than that
