When we were approached by one of our customers to build the ultimate EVO X street car, we were baffled a little, largely because he also has a 600+whp Evo VIII. However after one ride in the VIII on the street (had been a while) we understood. The car had lost everything that is great about the stock car. The low end power, turbo response, and civility was gone as it had become a racecar driven on the street. So he bought an Evo X to have fun during his work commute, still be able to take the kids to school and use it on date night. After driving the X he loved the drivability and feel of the stock turbo but also wanted the ability to outrun almost anything on the street. So with some of the preliminary discussion normal 93oct pump fuel would be mandatory not E85. E85 is great but it’s lack of consistency was not an option since the car had to be filled at any station through all seasons with out worry of proper content mixture. It would also need to make out of town trips without a refueling flight plan.

When Borg Warner set out to design the new EFR turbocharger, we challenged the technological status quo. We asked ourselves, what features would the world’s most advanced turbocharger include? What if well-known materials such as inconel weren’t the right choice? How much weight could we save with a different material for the turbine wheel? The answer came in the form of Gamma Titanium Aluminide (Ti). The Gamma Ti Turbine Wheel is over 50% lighter than its inconel counterpart and could spin in the slightest breeze. A dual ceramic ball bearing cartridge, stainless steel turbine housing and other integrated highlights all come together in harmony to create the most advanced aftermarket turbocharger in the world.
