Unless BB CHRA is a must and you're budget conscious (like most) your only option is GTPumps 762 IMO

$2K for a Blouch sounds good until you convert to AUS = $2500. You might get lucky and find some local Blouch stock but GTPumps will be able to convert your MR turbo to 762 spec for under $2K AUS.

Too many FP BB failures so really, the decision is easy...

On a 2.0? A Blouch 2.0 Dominator.

You can get more agressive than HKS 272 cams.

And the GTPumps turbos look interesting, but there is little to no data about them in the US...Australia yes, but I haven't seen many similar dyno comparisons...hard to tell. And they only make journal bearings for the GTPumps.

FYI

HAFE makes a Cast Stainless T3 Manifold and O2 housing that will bolt right in to your down pipe.

So many turbo options.... But they are out of business you will need to find it used.


I have one... no it is not for sale get your own lol

You mean, "too many people that can get crankcase pressure under control."

The HAFE was all the rage back in the day, but now that twin scroll has become the latest craze, the open scroll manifolds have become a little less popular.



I have a feeling the new XONA center section may be less susceptible to crankcase pressure. Not that you shouldn't try to reduce it

It just dose not make sens to me why people disregard single scroll and would rather pay 2500+ for a bolt on turbo. Is it the new hotness... Nope... can i still make 500, 600, 700'd wheel of it.... **** yes you can.

For the price of a Bolt on turbo, New waste-gate to hold the boost or a 44mm because it is not an MHI housing, you could of got a T3 kit... and have options...

Personally, if I'm going away from MHI housings, I'd go T3. Just seems to make more sense.

Agreed good sir...

The HAFE manifold would be nice if you could find one.

A few advantages of bolt on turbo's IMO.

1) no piping to crack. A stock or fp manifold will last almost forever without issues.
2) sound. Again, my opinion is that alot of T3 cars sound badly compared to a factorish manifold.
3) heat

I will agree that a open scroll bolt on turbo doesn't seem worth it. The factory twin scroll design makes for a pretty fun street car that you can do anything with.

If FP are adamant it is crankcase pressure causing the issue they should at least


1: notify customers (which they didn't, at least in my case and others)
2. design & offer a can off the shelf for addit purchase / instruct customers exactly what is required in terms of ventilation


Theres dozens of local failures, literally a pile of them sitting on the floor of GTPumps workshop so I'm finding it hard to believe each and everyone of these guys got their ventilation set ups completely wrong

Not saying you're wrong, but I never saw any of the Aussie guys actually collect crankcase pressure data like FP asked (or at least, post it on the forums).

Were they all wrong? All right? Hard to tell without data

blouch 2.0

I got a deal on it and have it with supporting mods. Dyno'd 500hp on pump (100 RON). Very happy with it so far after 2 months of driving on it.
