What the EFR turbos should have been

I just thought it was incredible that he got 400whp from such a small turbo. I know Borg's billet wheels really help at higher pressure ratios but still.



Man, you gotta love the way rotaries can spool big turbos.



Is it? A 6258 is way off the map at 27psi on a 2L at 7K rpm. I wouldn't expect such a small turbo to hold boost like that to redline.



Mmmm yes, a VE head. One of a few long term upgrades I still have left to do to my SR. I also have some GTi-R ITB's that I'm gonna throw on one of these days. I'll probably lose some top end but should be worth it for the low/mid and throttle response.

The graph he posted is not the 27psi graph, it is the ~18-19psi graph... It's the wastegate.

Motary says his SR with 6258 has naturally aspirated-like throttle response.
