What do you mean? I got a new ams v-band turbo.... I've been reading a lot of good stuff about this turbo. If I remember right I think I read something you said on one of the thread saying there were pretty good turbo's. I haven't got to drive the since I got all this but it should do pretty good for what I waiting I hope!

With the Turbo Tech that they got know they are good turbos. But all the Subaru turbos in about 6 weeks are going to become relics of the past including mine and everybody else on this board. The New Borgs are going to spool and hit faster and harder than anything else on the market by about 500 to 700 rps faster on a single scroll desighn and up to a 1000 rpms faster on a twinscroll desighn and cost about the same as Garrett offerings at this time. Most tuners and shops have a disservice to the Subaru community by not doing R&D on the current Borg turbos. Basically you got to have a cusotm Borg setup or get the Twinscroll full race setup. Even the current line of Borgs are superior to the Garretts in almost every way. They spool the same or faster hit harder and provide more horsepower and better throttle respond intween boost for about $500 less than thier Garrett counterparts. Shops and tuners are mostly Garrett fanboys, who stick to the same old reciepe. I love Goodspeed but they even question my turbo selection, you dont have to be a Genuis to figure out the Borgs are better. My Borg S259 is supposley comparible to a GT30R but if you look at the numbers its rated at 60lb turbo compared to the 52lb garrett GT30R and guess what is spools the same with better response and much more power, and the best part its 500 dollars less and totally rebuildable.

I'm actually getting really excited about the new BW units that are set to debut in November. I think by the time I think to upgrade (middle of next year), they will be in cars and be tuned and figured out.

Wow you guys are harsh. He just bought a brand new rotated kit from AMS Performance and now you guys are trying to tell him he made some big mistake. Maybe this discussion belongs in another thread, not his build log.

I never said he made a big mistake at all. I never said anything of the sort. His car is going to be sweet; there is not question. I was just responding to ASU's mention of BW units. |

Yes I have talked to many very knowledgeable shops about this kit and all of them agree that it is about the best kit out there for a single scroll rotated kit. It appears that the dyno charts out there back that up too. |

Hey man. That sucks that there isnt an e85 pump anywhere near you. Its really the way to go. My brother converted to e85 and is still running a vf39. He is basically stage 2 with a bigger tmic and at 25 or 26psi at sea level he was at 365whp and 405wtq. It runs soo good but the only bad part is he goes through his gas twice as quick. Have you thought of doing methanol or something along those lines??

Yeah, the only e85 pump I've noticed is the one on Olive and the 101 in Peoria/Glendale.
