E05 Turbo
It basically has the same compressor as a ko3s/ko4 but has a larger turbine wheel than both. The original had problems blowing shafts above 17psi since the shaft was to small for the turbine wheel. The revised B version (E05b) has a 1mm thicker shaft which helps, but no one runs it anymore since they reputation is to bad. Its actually a nicer turbo than a ko4 since you will have a longer powerband and hold more psi till redline. The other major downside is that the turbo cost $1200 new. You can get a DBB garrett turbo for that much. However, if you are only looking for 230-250whp and keep it basically stock, this wouldnt be a bad choiceor evena gt2x elim.
