Might go for an EFR if the price difference is not that big, but it requires a new mani, elbow and hotpipe at the very least so the price goes up fast. My tuner has some good pricing on garrett products, the EFR are another story.

In all honesty, if the price difference is significant and favors the GTX, I wouldn't hesitate to go that route. If he price difference is more than $700 (just my personal cutoff point), the performance difference is not worth the extra since I am not looking for that extra tenth in a full bore race series.
However, the idea of packaging everything into one system (BOV and not having to run extra piping, lines, etc for a EWG for example) was much more appealing to me since there is significantly less than could go wrong, I would have to fix or would eventually have to replace due to usage (no two wastegates, all that extra piping that is associated with the wastegates and v band clamps, coolant lines if I am running an updated wastegate, plumbing, etc etc etc) . If you already have a turbine housing and are setup for a T2 bottom, then a GTX2867 or whatever GTX T2 frame, would probably be cheaper than a EFR by a significant amount.
The GTX would be a wonderful choice in my opinion if it were down to significant price difference and all I am doing is doing trackdays. If budget is not an issue, EFR all the way baby (unless the EFR is cheaper, at which point, the answer is obvious
)
