I was going to say the same thing, I initially odered that turbo for my build, but got tired of the wait and ordered a precision 6766 instead. I'm pleased with my decision, but I'm really curious to see the results of this turbo. I reached full boost (20psi) at around 4200rpm.

Im looking forward to seeing some result too unfortunately its going to take time for funds to recover to get the rest of what i need for my set up but got turbo now while I could (thanks to Green Brothers Racing here in NZ and their US suppliers generosity in supplying us) so at least manifolds etc can be made.

It is a very nice looking turbo for sure. The sand cast exhaust housing actually looks fine, not as nice as the Ivestment cast unit but no where near as bad looking as some pics put up of the first ones to come out. Will be performance coated and then covered behind a heat shied so doesnt realy bother me.

Yes I did dyno it (Friday 14th), yes it's a bb unit T4 1.0 hotside. I'll get a printout of the dyno results from my tuner. It comes on nice and smooth, not an on/off feeling. It's easy to manage the power with your right foot. It lights up my 285s even in third gear. It also never lets off on the power, keeps pulling hard until redline.

450 @ 20psi full boost around 4200ish didn't fall off even at 8500rpm redline, before I fixed the vacuum leak I got full boost at around 4500-4600rpm

Awesome to see one in this corner of the world, look forward to seeing how it performs for you - they have been the most interesting of the EFR range for me.
