Apexi Turbo Kit
There are not too many out there running this kit, so I thought I should share in this section.
Quick build list (look at my garage for full list):
Autronic SMC 1.99 PnP (speed density)
Built 2.0l 9:1 .020 over
Built Head WORKS 269 cams
Apexi turbo kit with TCW77 p22 turbo, 1.4bar WG spring
Perrin Intercooler
RC 1000cc Injectors
Stock Intake Manifold/Throttle body
Tuned by Chris at AMS, conservatively for Road Racing. Chris told me a set of Kelfords and an F1 IM, might make a big difference, but I am happy with it, for now.

Did yours come w/ the p22 housing or did you have to special order it? Nice numbers for RR, and you should follow his advice.

Yea, I was happy when mine came with the p22. I wouldn't mind having the p25, but I have not been able to locate replacement housings...have you? It has been suggested to try and buy one from an RX7, the kits for those came with a p27. I am sure if you looked hard enough there has got to be a larger housing out there some where.

Yeah, when I first got it I contacted apex-i, and they offered all the different housings special ordered out of japan. If I remember correctly it was a pretty steep price, that made me think I might as well by another turbo if it breaks or if I want more pwr. 
I really like this turbo bc the pwr is so smooth. I would say the pwr is right in between the red/ black on 93 pump gas. I couldn't turn up the boost to the right operational range 34-38psi bc of the damn housing. 
That's why I went with the black.
MY favorite set up thus far, soon to be tuned on E85.

I would say your right with the power falling between black and red on pump, but the tcw77 isn't out of steam at 8500rpm. ;-) When I upgrade, eventually...I am going with the 6265, unless AMS comes up with something better by then. However I plan to max this turbo out first and finish the rest of the car first. No E85 for me, I don't want to lug 50 gallons of it to the track to make it through the day, otherwise I would be tempted.

Power band means a ton more to me then peak numbers.
