Melting my LIM???

Not particularly

It's not installed here, but I've got a LIM blanket, plus my LIM is ceramic coated. Even without the Blanket though, there is a decent gap between the hotside and the LIM. It's not massive by any means, but it's enough to have regular airflow between the two surfaces.

The RE not have a breather built into the Filler neck? Or do you guys have custom filler necks with no breathers?

Or just extra breathing?

Yeah, it's part of afgmoto's catch can setup. It mounts to the same bolts that the engine stand is using, so I won't mount that until the motor is in the car.

They do have a breather in the filler neck, its just an extra breather on the other side.

Just extra breathing...

I have that catch can by Adam too. I love it! I'm thinking about making another hardline to connect between the rear breather and the can though, just to clean it up a little.

Nice! EFR are my favorite turbos now. The ONLY thing I may switch to at some point is the Magneti Marelli turbo they use in F1 lol.

I just installed an IWG 8374 a few months ago and I like it, but to be honest I think I liked the EWG 7670 even more (aside from the extra BS of having external WG lol). It was an absolute MONSTER down low, starting spool around 2k and making power to about 7500. Although I haven't gotten it fully tuned on this turbo yet, so maybe I just haven't seen enough. Also, I could hear the 7670 spooling (like a jet engine) through a parking lot. I have to build a bit more boost on the street to hear this one.

Hehe, yeah... I was torn between an 8374 and a 9174. I got a SCREAMING deal on the 91 though, and it will give a higher ceiling for power potential, so that's what I went with.

Just waiting for the paypal to clear, then Andy will kick the EFR my way

Wait, Andy here in Colorado Springs? I got my current turbo through him. He has great deals. He told me I should start selling them too lol. He's also starting to make oil cooler kits. He's helping me set up my suspension because his booty is way more calibrated than mine to stuff like that lol. I'm more tuned in to boost response.

Andy is VERY happy with the 8374, but so far I'm kinda missing the 7670. And another friend here was telling me we should do a compound setup with two 7670s lol. Might have to try that.

As for your comparison test, I still have my old 7670 but it may need to be rebuilt. I'm pretty sure the oil seals are bad and I accidentally bent one of the compressor blades when my glove grabbed it when my hand was nearby. Anyway, I'm not sure if they can be rebuilt but I'd be willing to lend it to you for testing.
