I am still considering that route, but I will take things one step at a time. EFR turbos are really interesting!
Here is a small update
I replaced the bearing on the drive belt drive pulley
I took apart the stock timing belt tensioner and put the roller and bolt/nut on the MVP motorsports billet tensioner. If you don't know about these look them up, while I won't make enough power to have a problem with this it is a real issue and I want reliability so why not. The stock one can crack and break, causing catastrophic damage.
Next was to rebuild the VVT-i cam gear, I followed
this video and honestly I was a bit concerned I would mess up, but you can't really re-assemble it wrong. The only advice I have is to mark the pulley to the center before you take it apart
And last I continued to take apart the engine, I did remove more than this picture and found other parts I need. now to search and order more parts!
