i have yet to see really good data on the Green. There has been a ton of success on the BBK and data to back it up. I also am very interested to see more Green numbers.

I am ready to pull the trigger on the BBK-Full turbo...I did consider the Green upgrade from Buschur...its a great price, however, people seem to get great results with the BBK over the Green...BUT I read a thread that there is a new BBK turbo in the works...WTF...lol...when, where and how much...haha...I don't want to buy something now and tomorrow have a new turbo out...although from what I hear its mean for customers that want high end HP...but who knows...I haven't found a single useful piece of info so everything at this point is pure speculation...CBRD needs to respond to this thread and let us know at least for what purposes the new turbo is intended...I swear...so many choices out there I just finally decided on the cams somewhat...and now this...

HEY OP...how do you like your Kelfords in your IX? I am/was stuck between Kelfords and GSC 2s...how is the power...? any lowend loss? idle issues? starting issues? pro/cons if you don't mind...

i also heard that rumor ! lol im scared of doing the same. these things arent cheap brand new. but i love my kelfords they pulll soooo hard ! one of my buddies has the GSC 2s and hes 19-0 lol same mods. i mean you cant go wrong with those two cams. truthfully the idle isnt bad. i mean it gets scary sometimes cuz it dips low at times but nothing but a good tuner to smooth it out. i believe AMS did a cam shootout and kelford had the best gains.

I feel the same way there are a good amount of guys that have the HTA green but they don't seem to post #'s or any data not even a story good or bad. But if the HTA Green was created in response to the BBK Full then the logical end result would be it should be better but that is speculation. Your should really try to contact Rob at FP he is very friendly. I remember I spoke to him about a year ago and he basically said that the HTA green is better then the BBK Full. He basically improved on the BBK Full don't ask what specifically But like I said ask Rob

It's pretty fortunate you guys have a few good options

Our turbos are prepared and designed with certain attributes in mind... and a certain set of expectations, if those results match your needs, then our turbo obviously will work well for you

If there is anything I can answer for you, please feel free to PM me.

Robert is also pretty easy to talk too, so you may want to contact him also to see what he has for you.

Cheers

CB

as far as our new turbo, sometime mid summer, I know alot of people are waiting, but it's just taking awhile to get final production done.

I know the BBK is good for 450 on pump. I'm hoping for 500 on E85.

i was debating both turbo's to and i think the BBK full and old green are very comparable, the HTA green i think would edge the Full out a little but probably wouldnt spool as quick

i said hell with both and went with the black and im loving it

Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Chad and Robert, however I will have to call a BBK-B for the OP. I think you will love the B much more than the full. You don't really lose any spool but gain a lot up top. If the production B is released in the Summer that is well worth waiting on my part.

I will be going with a Black soon but our goals are two different things!

***YOU CAN'T COMPARE TWO DIFFERENT CAMS USING THE AMS CAM TEST ON YOUR CAR OR OTHER IXs ALIKE!*** Having MIVEC changes everything. Please don't compare the VIII cams with the IX cams becuase that will get people confused!

Im in the same boat, looking to upgrade the turbo... BBK full / HTA Green/ Red/ Black.... so many options. Think Im gonna wait for the BBK-B to come out, as I was leaning heavily towards the BBK.
My goal is 450 on pump (91) DD. but not sure the BBK will get me there. (w/ my mods)

GL w/ your choice! its tough...

and mikey speaks and lays down the law!!!!!!!!!!!. I personally would go HTA green or fp black it. If you want to be fair then wait till mid summer for the bbk b to come out then make your choice but im with MIKEY FP BLACK ALL DAY EVERYDAY
