All your turbos are belong to me. Yes, all of them bitches. Now hand 'em over.
I figured it's time to migrate my thread to these neck of the woods. Without further adieu lets recap my speed's progress.
Stock as a rock. Sometime in 2013. I can't remember when, but Melissa if you're out there? Fuck you bitch. Oh sorry about that.
Here she is at 6k miles. Mods were FBO and GTX2867r Big thanks to @Mzr0818 if you're still around buddy how's that 3067r treating you? Oh yeah that's my specv in the back god bless its soul. It's off to greener pastures now (friend has it).
Ended up going TMIC with Colin Hudson's help. He's no longer in the speed game.
I ended up fiddle farting with E a little bit here and there, but the drive to get gas just wasn't worth it. Ended up screwing up my internals using E too and could never figure it out until one day a year later I decided to clean the bitches and haven't had a problem since.
Another picture I'm moving over to here
ended up getting a 3067r installed and meth tank built. No pictures of the turbo unfortunately.
Here's a vdyno from the setup. I'm not sure what the CF1.01 is. I'm sure I still have the log but I'm just too lazy to be assed with it right now.
then this happened
so this happened
HTA3586
Custom T3 manifold
Several months later...
How she ended up on this setup until June 2016 (where the car has been sitting since)
oh yeah I did do something crazy and tried to see how far I could get on just stock fueling w/ hpfp upgrade. There's a thread here I believe and a lot of tempers in it. Check it out, but it's locked now for good reason.

std corrected graph
There's a whole bunch of logs but I'm not reupping those. Sorry.
So I decided to just try and fit the largest turbo I could think of and see if I could get 1 size larger in. I had planned on an EFR8374 and decided to just up the difficulty with the EFR9180. How it compares to a HTA3586. It dwarfs it. Then again the 9180 is approximately a 94 or 95lb turbo.
Here are my current plans.
I'm going to be going to a mostly entirely custom setup. That includes intercooler, intercooler piping, manifold, downpipe, intake etc. Everything is being done by a shop located in Bahama, NC called BoostFab LLC. They do amazing one-off work.
On the intake side I'm moving to the soon-to-be-released (hopefully) 16w Fabworks manifold for that center throttlebody mount life.
Here's how she is all parted out with turbo in-tow in the bay.
Last Thursday this happened. If everything goes to plan I should have the car back between 60-90 days. Albeit depending on 16w Fabworks because I can't have it completed without the intake manifold
Also most of my fueling setup. I'm going to be running 2 tanks. 12 gallon in the hatch with 2 Bosch 044 inline pumps and a battery relocate. Also going to be running the kozmic OEM fuel cell replacement with holly 12-1800 fuel pump. Injectors are bosch 2200cc/220lb'ers. For safety I did purchases and install an AEM wideband failsafe. And, If I need more fueling headroom I can always install meth again. Primary fuel is going to be an E mix since I have so many stations now that are carrying ethanol around me. It just makes sense now.
Also my OP can't be complete without a gun picture. Meet my most recent purchase.
