IIRC NFS has one... Though, I don't think I've seen him post what he paid for it.

What he's putting down w/ the CBRD RAD turbo is in that thread somewhere...
Price wise, it's less than the BBXLite turbo, IIRC.

Sorry I was confused. I knew Brain was running a BBX lite for some reason I thought it was a TD04 though. Thanks for the correction. I think Im going to go the CBRD Rad direction so I dont have to go through the whole manifold, lines ect.. conversion.

I've been running through the advantages/disadvantages of going with the CBRD Rad vs. a BBX Lite. Expecting to pay between ~$1000-$1500 for a RAD, that puts me at or below the price of a BBX Lite, and I won't need to collect all the other parts required to make a TD05 frame turbo work, other than injectors. Putting a TD05 swap together in Canada is about 20-25% more expensive than it would be if I lived in the States. Given that I don't have a reliable source of 93-94oct fuel, and no source of E85, I don't think I'll be able to make more than 20-30whp more with a full BBX Lite swap than I would with a RAD...

This is in no way intended to come off as fact, and this is all based on conjecture from what I've been hearing, but I was under the impression that the RAD is likely much closer to the lower end of that range, if not slightly below...
Chad would be the one with the definitive answer of course. He's only a PM away and usually replies within 24-48 hrs. Great guy if you've never dealt with him in-person yet, very helpful and willing to listen and answer all of your questions.

Here's some numbers from the RAD and BBX Lite
CBRD RAD, stock catback
290whp/295wtq, Mustang dyno (no mention of gas type)
Ridesober
292whp/300wtq
CBRD says that they lost ~20whp/20wtq due to stock intake and exhaust.

370whp/326wtq, Mustang dyno, E85, stock catback

Exactly, core exchange will definitely make the difference. Just from what I remember, the whole purpose was supposed to be a cost-effective alternative to a basic X swap with slightly more output than a stock X turbo. With the average X swap costing in the ~$1200 range (from what I've been seeing/hearing), I figure the RAD to be slightly less if you are exchanging your turbo as a core replacement.

Essentially nothing other than a tune. You can technically run it on an otherwise completely stock car, though to see it's full potential, you'd need other basic supporting mods like intake, exhaust, fmic and piping, etc. Then once you get to that level where you're pushing the turbo for what it's worth, it's been said that larger injectors are required and a fuel pump wouldn't hurt either. But for starters, you'd be able to put it in, have it tuned, and just go from there.
