i end up using 3 port solenoid and perrin actuator with just bottom port hooked up on WG actuator and stiff spring, at 26 psi i need 75 WG duty cycle and for 19 psi i need about 55.

With 4 port it was way to sensitive, and could overboost in no time.

did you order from full-race? i ordered in late october 2010 and got the first one. nemo racing needed one bad and i sent mine back and took their place in line a couple months behind and got that turbo this spring.

full-race is caught in the middle and taking a lot of grief over this. they have been nothing but great in helping people out when they can.

if you really need a turbo, id consider this one. its an excellent turbo and will do 95% of what the efr 8374 will do.

either way, geoff and the fellas will take care of you. btw, im nobody special, nor a fanboy. i havent spent a ton of money with them and dont know anyone there personally. im just your average customer that tells it how i see it.

no I did not order directly from full race neither have I ever stated that I did (just for the record) I placed my order with a shop that I have worked with for the last 5-6 years
I would not like full-race to take responsibility for actions that are not theirs, I am not even sure that the shop I placed my order with gets the turboes directly from full race (unless they are the main distributer for BW EFR)
all I know is that I made an order which after checking was made actually in may of 2011, that is when I played according to paypal.I am told by the shop that they have an order for the turbo from December 2010
and I was informed by them that there is a huge back order I also know that the shop did receive other models of the EFR just not the 8374 version
I don't want to put any one in the blame, my only complaint if to BW because such a back order is absolutely outrages
I will only state one thing, I do believe that the people involved in the distribution and manufacturing of the turbo could be more informative to the community especially those who are still on the waiting list
since I am not able to detect the waiting list or the distributer responsible for selling the shop I work with the tubo's there is no way for me to verify anything nor find out what place I am on the waiting list
i guess all I am doing is letting some steam out sorry if it is in any way bothering any one reading this thread

I agree, borg warner is really dropping the ball on this.

I was told November last time I asked, I'm not sure if that's a final final...final date
maybe full-race would like to update us on what is going on since they should have the correct and most up to date information?

Putting a FMW into the SX series is a cool idea. I'd like to see them do that with the S200SX 7670 and 8070. The price is nice too - seems like it's about the same price that the S300SX used to be, now the regular S300SX is way cheap.

BTW checking the Full-Race web page for the S200SX-7670, there are pics there now showing an undivided T3 turbine housing, nice clean looking casting, stainless probably, very compact outlet, and it says KKK on it. How 'bout that.

Who did you guys buy your turbos from? I would start asking the people who YOU paid money to.

In other news. I'm creeping up in WGDC 300+ kpa at 8100? yeah baby.

R/T, that's a nice screen shot of the Vipec log. Could you put it "do not resize" into image shack and post that here? I'd like to get a good look at it.

I see you have ethanol content logged - are you actually running an ethanol content sensor? And was that log running E85? Checked out the clip, pulls very very very well - very impressive.

^ can I can do no-resize on it.

Yeah I have the sensor... need to wire in the pull up resistor for the ECU to read it. When voltage dips (car starts) the sensor works

That's on E82

Bummer, I'll have to save my eyes for the 737 MAX winglet then. That's my job right now. That thing has to be purdy.
