thats a big *** turbo efr 6758

Why would everyone kill for them, the don't cost any more than a precision or garret does. I think its the best turbo on the market atm so I cant justify buying anything else.

7500 red line works for me

Today I replaced my passenger rear wheel bearing, cam bolt and my drivers front brake hose. Most excellent fun. Now that the rear bearing is done, I can hear that the bearings on the passenger side of my rear diff are humming. FML

Makes sense, eh?

I havent been looking to buy so I wouldnt have known. Are they increasing production? Or will they flicker out because they cant keep the demand.

I just don't think they were prepared for how high the demand was when they first released them. Mike Hood ordered two over a year ago and just took delivery like last week.

because a garrett and precision arent worth killing for the transient response is insane on the efr's

I want an efr

Update - the tune went well. Just did stange 1 because the stage 2 base map is set up for a 4bar for, which i dont think the car has. Not 100% what stock is. Anyways, huge improvement, im excited. Im getting missfires tho, guessing its due to non gapped plugs...or the launch control test

ebay has been a goldmine lately!

Just bought a set of facelift tails for $95 shipped (from NY to CA), a pair of S4 exterior B pillars, and some black door handle pulls that are in much better condition than my ecru set.
