Don't wanna give out the numbers just yet? Lol just kidding Adam.

The numbers each turbo will support are listed out in the original post.
kind of a dumb question but are those HP numbers what they handle or what you're guaranteeing youll make afterward?
That is what they will support, you can't guarantee power because we don't know what the 100's of cars that will be running these turbos have for other supporting mods, their elevation, their fuel, and additionally all dynos read different.
Silly question. I already have map intercooler pipes with the turbosmart vee port bov. Will this be ok with the new turbo?
Yes, as mentioned it is a direct replacement turbo for the factory unit. So whatever modifications you have now will fit still on the new turbo.
I'm Sorry I guess I wasn't clear I was referring to the aux fuel system being plug and play. My bad!
It will need to be wired in, everything else will be plug and play as far as fuel lines and fitment goes.
I'm curious - is there any reason not to buy the Stage 2+ MF? I know that to get maximum power out of it you're going to need to buy the Aux Fuel unit, which is fine, but I assume you could run it on the car without the Aux Fuel unit until you decide to pony up the cash for it? I just like the idea of having the extra power on the table for the taking in the future. Thoughts?
We are going to be testing all turbos, in the end if the spool comes out to be the same on all 3 then there is no reason to not go with just one turbo. We aren't 100% set on the turbos but we are going to be prototyping all 3 and making the decision from there.
I have been stalking this thread since it came out now. Was just wondering if there is an updated ETA on when all of this should be available ?
The ETA's are in the original post, so I don't anticipate an update until we get closer to those original ETA's. This is a big project, we are talking about casting/machining and prototyping 3 turbos, then heavy testing, then production. We aren't doing small production of 20-30 here and there we will come to market with 100 MINIMUM when they are ready to sell.
Not to beat a dead horse but that comp is very similar to the C39 Compressor wheel. Also, Are there test mules out and about on these turbos? Are they just going straight to market?
Compressor wheel isn't all that matters, if you don't have a turbine wheel that pairs with the compressor wheel you have a useless compressor wheel as you can't get the shaft speed up to put the compressor wheel in the desired pressure ratio. If you put it in the surgeline of the compressor wheel it will actually be hard for the turbo to make any power and more prone to grenading itself. So, big compressor wheel numbers don't mean anything the complete unit has to work together to perform. Additionally the small A/R's of the turbine and compressor cover reduce the wheels ability to perform as well. This is why we picked the wheel sizes we did and are recasting the housings to make sure the wheels do their job they were sized to do.
I think Adam said in a previous post that all 3 turbos were going to be tested on their shop car to even see if they would release 3 different turbo options.
Yeap.
Vargas makes turbos for the bimmer crowd too. Check out their forums for reviews.
Hit or miss on the BMW stuff when they first started, they perfected the turbos for the BMW and now they hold the records for that platform. People have personality issues with Tony as do I with him. Just the same as people have personality issues with me. Nobody is perfect, and not everyone can get a long especially when there is no tone set when you are reading off the internet.
I'll say right now I have sold and tuned over 40 of their Stage 2 turbochargers for the 2.3L Ecoboost and have a 100% success rate with them. None smoke, none have failed, all have made power. I have customers approaching 30k on their Stage 2 turbos with no issues. So I'm putting all trust in Tony in this project to take our request for the Fiesta turbo and nail it on the head.
To this day, the Fiesta ST is my favorite platform that we support. I miss driving one everyday.
