That means March 2013.
Also. Getting that stupid european turbo seal thing that hustler just had to do.
You will know it is accurate when they ship. I'm rooting for borg but they had a mega fail with this product launch. Sucks to be them :(
If you're lucky your water heater will take out your roof on it's way up.

until it breaks, apparently.
Sure, if they work, but they seem to be failing at a high rate. If Soviet's EFR lasted a little while longer, that may have been a $1450 paperweight. Nice. What's their warranty anyway, time wise, and if you are not the original purchaser?
It'd be like making a really nice manifold that gives lots of power/spool gains but with a design flaw that made some fail quickly during normal use (like the wrong choice of material), and then still trying to justify the inflated price because it was better before it broke.
... they are worth every penny of the $1450 BW asks for them.

Its not worth dick as a paperweight. Well, maybe like 20 bux. I'd def pay 20 bux for a broken borg just so I can look at it all day.
Ebay t00bular manifold anyone?

Although it could be the mythical "fixed" one!

"no new EFR turbos in the country since approximately Fall 2011"
So much for that big "Made in the USA" tag on the turbo...
Did they shut down the plant that builds these or what? Are they importing titanium from China? Bueller? Bueller?
This is very frustrating and I hope Borg Warner gets it taken care of asap. I am extremely excited to see what the upcoming kit will look like from Trackspeed, and I don't want Borg Warner to ---- this up.

They will not be shipping new EFRs until March 2013. And all of them are surely pre-sold.

Garrett does want me to run a GTX2860R (they contacted me) but the thought of parking my car for another month and doing all the reliability mods (v-bands, safety wire, etc) makes me want to throw up.
If I knew from the beginning maybe I would go Garrett. But at this point I'm waist deep into EFR.

pretty much.
let's see, work I would need to do to get a free GTX (assuming it would be free) running
- get a new exhaust manifold. v-band, EWG
- get an EWG
- add EWG pipe to downpipe
- add BOV to intercooler pipe
- drill v-band housing bolts for safety wire
Not only it would take at least $1500, but my car would be out of commission for a month (more like 2 months)
