Agreed. It's easy to tell alot went into theese units. No one has ever targeted us as a market before especially of this magnitude and to have BW in the mix is just the icing on the cake. If you guys need anything as far as testing or r&d dont hesitate to ask, I have plenty of experience of engine testing as that is my full time occupation, sadly we do not have any engine dyno cells to support the high rpm of the import engines since mainly what I do is medium and heavy duty diesel.. But theres always the Mustang chassis dyno at the shop
Also, we have a GT2 with a SP700 kit at the shop, an efr comparo would be badass and I am sure Tym would be interested in coming by to help out.

yes, the turbo still should be kept as level as possible in the mountings. If you have a few moments, chec out the EFR training manual which touches upon this. Anyone that wanted to mount it "angled" as you suggested it will require a drysump scavenge system to suck the oil out of the turbo.
Garrett says the same thing, yet I've ran a Garrett GT around 15 degrees off horizontal without any issues at all. I am currently running a Mitsu around 10-15 degrees off horizontal. I realize they aren't designed around being off horizontal, but it seems like the oil passages can easily handle smaller angles. That small angle can really make a difference on some setups.

Great link and wodnerful info!
Awesome job on it Geoff it def shows how much time and effort you and BW have put into this new line-up of turbos
I really can't wait until we can the unit we have tested (open scroll 8374) really interested though on how the TS version would do though........maybe one day we'll have one to test.

well youre absolutely correct there is an allowance - infact , think of a car driving up a steep hill, or parked/idling on a steep driveway that right there can be a worst case scenario... but it works. Youll never see a production manifold from full-race that holds the turbo at a cockeyed angle, but we ahve done one-offs for teams (with drysumps) like this

Yeah, I'm laying down a plan for next winter on a turbo build and keeping my options open. The EFR turbochargers have a ton of features I really like and I'm just evaluating the +/-'s of them in a complete system compared to the competition.
I'm sure you'll think I'm crazy, but any chance you could get one of these on scale? I'm personally interested in the EFR7064 in the T4 TS internally gated housing.

Rather buy a special exhaust manifold with 2 external wastegate than convert an FP black to ball bearing.
