Turblown/Turbosource = awesomeness.

I recently received my whole new turbo build order from Elliot, and I am super happy.

The order included both "off the shelf" products that Elliot was able to get me good deals on, and hand fabricated stuff that looks flawless. I have no issue recommending Turblown to any of my friends (and in fact I already have, also a success story). The parts are great (especially the fabricated in-house ones), the prices are fair, but the customer service is what got my business originally and will keep me going back.

I am not a rich man, and it took me a long time of motivated saving to be able to afford what I wanted for this car. My email account has a string of 50+ emails back and forth with Elliot over a period of more than a year where he answered every single stupid thing I asked quickly and thoroughly, made valuable suggestions, and kept me updated with the progress of my parts from the time I ordered them to the time they showed up at my door.

The turbo setup (with many supporting parts) that I got from Elliot was a big investment for me, and I am very satisfied with how everything has turned out.

The list of parts I got:

- Borg Warner EFR 8374 turbo, .92 a/r twin scroll internally wastegated turbine housing
- Turblown twin scroll non-wastegated manifold
- Turblown 3" v-band to 3.5" downpipe back to 3" 2-bolt flange (to mate to my existing exhaust)
- hardlines for all oil/coolant fittings from turbo to engine, with silicone flex portions and a braided stainless oil feed line
- Turblown modified fitment thermostat neck
- Adaptronic e440d standalone (long harness)
- Aeromotive a1000 3-port fuel pressure regulator
- Aeromotive 340lph stealth fuel pump
- Injector Dynamics 725cc primaries
- Injector dynamics 2000cc secondaries
- adapter sleeves for all injectors to seal properly

Thanks Elliot, it was a pleasure dealing with you the whole time. I'll be back.

I've mocked it up on the engine but have not installed in the car yet, sorry. Probably will not be installed in the car for another month or so.

Here's how it fits on the engine
