I'm searching for a low boost EFR 6255 setup. I wonder if anyone has done it yet. I'm curious to see what the numbers and spool look like.

I was looking at the 6758, I'm curious to know the spool on a 1.8 and what kind of power one would see at 20psi.. With this Absurdflow manifold. My only concern would be bracing, which looks like it would be a pain in the *** to figure out.

Edit- Fixed link

Id toss on that 6258 in a heartbeat. good for 44 lb/min and looks awesome on the above chart.

Begi has a re-locator pipe that is cheap.

Mine came with my Begi kit years ago so I am not really sure what it cost.

Or Abe/ARtech will weld your OEM waterpump inlet pipe so you can flip it 180deg. and use it as-is, he does this for cheap. Then run a cheap radiator hose "t" if you are still doing a heater core.

Yeah, I would. Top down in the 40's is a little brisk, but I can handle it.

Regardless, it's a huge tug-o-war over what kind of setup I will go with, el-cheapo GT3071 and leave everything else as-is, or muchacho 6758 twin scroll.

I've been wondering what boost levels I can push into this block without blowing it, I never really looked. I'd guess the head gasket would fail first..

Thats what I am hoping for. Or at least close enough that I could possibly have you change my setup in the future to work with an EFR turbo.


Here is where the pictures came from.

I like how that treadstone housing is made out of ganache. Yummy.

The "T2" and "T3" footprints of TIAL are the same.

Recent dyno's from a stock cobalt using a stock manifold w/ a adapter.

6758 @ 35psi (I think it's over spun, the matchbot doesn't help here)


6758 @ 28psi
