So I have been wanting to try out the EFR Turbos from BW, but have come to the realization that these would be way too big for the Vr4 (physical size wise). Which has made me somewhat sad.
Now looking into the GTX3582R which gives you the option of choosing different Turbine housings since its more of an "upgrade" turbo. Doing some research online has showed the availability of TiAL turbine housings that bolt on with vbands. Lighter, doesn't rust, flow stays the same..making this a viable option. Problem lies with the new manifold flanged for t3 turbos. It's hard to tell by the TiAL website but I'm guessing they have an adapter for this .
I've also always been a fan of the T3/T67 turbo, but without a proper compressor map I would hate to get one. I'm still looking for a compressor map for the T3/T67h.o. that full-race offers (ball bearing). Another downside to this turbo is the 4 bolt down pipe needed as I was wanting to make the move onto V band style down pipe.
The current turbo I have for the car is SC6152 with upgraded anti-surge housing. Another turbo I have yet to find a proper compressor map for, but a huge down side is Thrust bearings. I'm definitely looking to go towards Ball Bearing turbos if not Dual BB.
I am not familiar with FP or Holset (what I see most the Mitsu owners use) which I plan on doing my research the next few days. Also trying to find different companies that do their own version of GTX3582 with different housings and compressor sizes.
Phew, this was mostly to see if anyone here has worked with any of these turbos first hand, especially the TiAL turbine housings.
