The main problem with this EFR turbo is availability and longevity.  Originally there were issues with it falling apart.  Dont know if thats been fully resolved which is why the availability is so poor.

The LO4XX looks like it may be the easiest way forward.

Staplers had the car with the LO4XX on at the weekend.

They had to turn it down evidently it needs some half decent head bolts and a proper head gasket.........

It is going to be fantastic, needs a new pump which is 90% done

So expect a whole new avenue of 400+ Ko4 cars that can be installed in a day.

The loba turbos are heavily modded not just the turbo itself but the mani gets a lot of attention, they look the part apparently
Stevies car was only running around 1.2bar. Apparently they are capable of handling 2.0bar with ease. Even with 1.2bar he was spinning the sh*t out of the front wheels. He said to me that the map needs to be tailored so that it doesnt come fully on boost in 1st and 2nd gears to get the car going then liven up after that. That turbo is easily capable of 450hp

That was the target figure but with good manners, thing is that's why they're calling it the 4xx.

I've been working with LOBA for a bit now and they are diagonally opposed tothe usual tuning house bullsh*t.. mega reserved and let the products do the talking, they don't do software in essence they're manufacturing bullets for others to shoot

It certainly looks the part, the impeller leading edge looks exactly the same as the front fan of my Jets engine. By definition the tip,of the impeller is travelling faster than the root, so Loba machine the leading edge with a reducing angle of attack to get the max out of it. Half span kink energises flow.

This really is cutting edge tech for turbos, it's a definite step forward from the franken-turbo hybrids we've had in the past and is more to do with the capability of 5 axis CNC machines...wouldn't want to be sat with a shed load of stage 3 / 4 turbo kits on a shelf
