No I don't think you did I think its people discussing their opinions about what they like better thats all. Everyone has there opinions about what goes on as stated above, but all in all it comes down to what you want in your car. If you want one thing after doing your own research, then no one elses opinion should matter.

Incorrect, we've made 610+whp with an EF3 we just don't recommend running them at that level
We've already discussed my opinion on this and the limited sample set for their "new" technology. Curt and ER seem to be having good luck thus far, no doubt there. However, let's say one of them had a failure, do you think it would be made public?
Define built.
Anyone that has worked with us in the past knows the kind of customer service we offer, these new turbochargers won't be any different

The JB Red has been proven a 9 second turbo, what has the EF3 run?
That dual ceramic ball bearing is a great idea. Anyone ever heat metal? It expands significantly. Ceramics take more heat and don't expand as much, that speaks volumes for longevity. I agree though we are only a year into the BB's but are there any failure threads?
BB Red can make 650whp in the hands of a blind goat. Thus far the durability of both the BB Black and Green have been amazing, this is from a guy that breaks a journal bearing turbo in less than 1000 miles every time. If I were recommending a stock frame bolt on to anyone it would be the Red.
Companies just don't hand out sponsorships. You need to get out there and make numbers for yourself. A company offers your parts to better your numbers and if they work that person posts about it.

So..
What can I expect to get from the EF2? Could I compare the EF2 with the HTA Green directly?
I havent found much info on the both compared. I would like to hit 500+ on what should be a built 2.3 L

Price wise seems to be, as well as performance. Since the EF2 is price in the same category as the Green, while the EF3 is considerably more.
Tough choice to make..

I want a Green SOOO bad because I could make well over 500whp and have a killer powerband. It is just too damn much money for me. Even used ones go for way too much $$$ for my broke ***!

Really...? I did not know that. That being said, would you say the EF2 is in the same category as the 71HTA and BBK Full? I have seen each of these turbos make ~ 475-480whp (with just as much torque) on the Dynojet. If so, this makes my turbo selection choice even more difficult.

I have tuned the EF2/3 on evo X's and it worked well, I have YET to tune one on an 8/9, but I have done plenty of non BB FP stuff- they all work really well
