I appreciate all the info Mitch for sure! The 0.49 would be perfect for my goal of 400-450 whp and if it barely gets to 400 whp, I can just lower the boost 1-2 psi and spray a 35-50 shot pre turbo. A solid 400whp with minimal lag would be ideal. Also historically CP-E kits are hella expensive, while I appreciate the enthusiasm for the turbo I'll probably stick with the ATP kit which I can usually get for $2k from most vendors unless you were to offer it with a header for $2,500~ I'm looking to stay internally gated this time vs my external gtx3071r on my focus. Also don't take that in a bad way, CP-E makes some high quality stuff. I had the intercooler on a fusion titanium I played with for a month. It was easy to install and top notch quality (also expensive) I'm very cheap when it comes to parts and I'm sure one day it will come back to bite me.
To put the proper vocabulary on it, the g25 has a larger trim wheel for both sides, which is known to have worse spool but more flow than a smaller trim wheel, sorta like AR on the exhaust housing. Im anxious to see what garrett comes out with IWG wise for the turbo. I am already running a prototype exhaust manifold, but adding a EWG to that would be a challenge. You can always weld a EWG onto the turbine housing too. I still don't think its in the cards right now for us to do anything fiesta wise with the g25. I do agree 100%. 0.49 housing g25 should still be good for 400+whp which is more than enough for the fiesta.
Thanks for running our parts on the fusion, man!
