You can push some serious power with that turbo. I look forward to the dyno chart [emoji6]
I imagine E85 and/or water-meth is in your future with that turbo [emoji13]

It will!

Will use 4 port in the IE manifold, another one after the intercooler, maybe on in the TP spacer to reduce the IAT to the minimum

Niiiiccccceeee! That sounds like a good setup. A buddy of mine has the IE manifold, it looks amazing, super high quality.

Check this one, this is what will be moved to the Rocco after receiving the EFR7163 TurboZentrum kit.

I would say that finally I have a good news regarding the TurboZentrum kit.
They contacted me and they will be able to ship the first manifolds very soon in the coming days or to wait more couple of days in order to make sure that the first ones fit perfectly then I can have mine in few days after.
I will wait the other few days in order to be sure that there nothing needed to be fixed.
The point that again the wastegate size come again to my mind, I was decided to go for the 1 bar wastegate and upgrade to the 1.5 bar if needed but now the devil in my head insisted to go for the 1.5 bar one!!
I have to decide very soon before they ship the kit!

Glad to see another EFR7163 setup coming soonYou will not regret !!
Thanks man, I am waiting since long time and it's great hearing the everyone having it really likes it that much.
I am afraid of the fitting of it too, at the end I went for the 1.0bar turbo smart actuator because I can add more springs if needed but the issue of the larger size of it compare to the OEM BorgWarner still existed!

Ready to race!
I think you will need stiffer spring like 1.5bar if you plan running 30+ PSI. It was really pain when I figured out 1bar spring could not reach my goal and had to remove turbo again for actuator exchange. Currently I am running 1.5bar spring and my boost is 33-34PSI up top to 7300RPM. Oh, I use Greddy EBC instead of N75.
Glad to see another EFR7163 setup coming soon
BTW, you have to be careful of that larger housing Turbosmart actuator when fitting the turbo, I am using smaller housing actuator and I saw not much space between actuator and engine block.
Mostic and I are doing same build at same time. We are not using same 7163 setup you are using. We won't have same fitment issues as the config is quite different. The Turbozentrum kit looks more like a factory turbo with the integrated exhaust manifold and hot side of turbo being all one piece. In the pic above with all the turbos on the table you can see one of them has the Turbosmart IWG75 mounted on it.
Thanks for the tip on boost. We will start with stiffer springs in the wastegate. I purchased springs for 21psi. I want to see what the turbo can do on the dyno but in reality I will be using my car for track days so I won't be running it at 34psi all day long.
