V-band Housings for EFR Turbos
Saw this and thought I would share, just in case it hasn't already been posted:

I hope these will fit the Tial v-band flanges, it would give me more turbo options in the future! It also will make the EFR turbos much shorter and easier to package I would think.

But for the guys who already may have a complete EWG/tial vband kit, this may be a drop-in option to go BW EFR. I wouldn't necessarily want to redo my downpipe to fit the BW IWG Vband length.

What makes you say that? The outlay for a genuine garrett in the same relative size is between 800 and 1400, and they you still need to buy a bov and MAYBE and external wastegate and pay more for a mani and dp setup for that wastegate. The turbo itself is expensive, but that price includes a very well throughout waste gate and bpv system.

He's talking about the people who already have a well sorted EWG/Vband setup and may want to just swap out the turbo. For those people, if they want to go EFR, they have to redo their downpipe & plug their EWG port on the manifold. It's be nice to just swap & go, like you can do between Precision's vbands/tial's vbands/ATP's vband inlet T2's/Garrett's new vbands (I assume)/that treadstone piece, etc.
Now you have to outlay someone to shorten your downpipe and plug up the EWG dump if it was blended into the downpipe. Not a big deal for some but a deal breaker for others.

A bit of a necro, but I'm sure people will be interested.
I've just stumbled upon this and now I need July... It is probably why Treadstone stopped publicising the housings.

Oh well. But This means the small frame turbine housing is going to be getting made in both t2 sized v-band, and T4 twin scroll. So by calling the correct people I believe you'd be able to get a twin scroll 6758 if you wanted to. Though it looks like the Vband housing is going to be external wastegate. So I'm not too broken up about it coming out like a month after I'll have my turbo in.
