BW EFR 7670 was my first choice to upgrade my n54 with twin-scroll turbine housing turbo and custom manifold, but BW was unable to delivery the proper twin-scroll turbine house for EFR 7670. I guess, that BW still cannot delivery it. So we switched and decided to go with two new single-scroll turbos. One of them is completly ready, the other is under machining.

On the other hand i think that among many things, the engine should be rebuilt heavily, when we are talking about 500-650+HP. It is not enough to use forged rods and pistons, but the heads should be ported properly and mostly the open-deck designed cylinders should be strenghtened as well. Many-many task, which i will do in my current project.
