I wouldn't say that too fast until more 2.0L tests are done.

^ Pretty sure the BBK is a low 50lb turbo Jerry.

What's the fastest trap anyone's got on the BBK with a full weight car?
who cares about dyno numbers...

a 129 trap proves what this turbo can do

This whole thread has gotten retarded. Still nothing but horrible comparisons to over-hype a turbo that no one has done any solid testing on forcing everyone to make speculations, convert from one dyno to another, and make comparisons that make no sense.

This exact same thing happened when the last green came out.

A 129 trap doesn't prove squat...

I am absolutely torn between the two companies but that fact that CBRD doesn't make you wait weeks or possibly months to get your turbo is def giving them the upper hand for me between these two turbos

You are correct, cornercarver! 1/4 mile trap speed does not prove much by itself. However, given the total vehicle weight(including driver), along with the trap speed, then you should be able to accurately calculate horsepower. So, worthwhile comparisons could indeed be made. Yes, or no?

I remember starting this thread when I was in Iraq for my second or third time (I cannot remember) and after having my last EVO broken in to a few years ago, I am back on the grind and the 73HTA is once again on my radar.

Curt Brown says the HTA Green is the best Evo street turbo ever. That was good enough for me...

Yes, sir. I am hearing you. I am just waiting on a price quote for a speed density intake set up from FP if it is available. My ultimate plan is to run the 73HTA with a 2.3L when I return from Afghanistan.

After much head banging, I selected the MAP EF3 turbo.
