Haven't seen this ad before wondering if anyone else has heard of agency power and their reputability? https://www.agency-power.com/shop/agency-power-stage-1-billet-wheel-cartridge-upgrade-twin-turbo-ford-3-5l-transverse-ecoboost/
Finally got both of my core turbos, I burnt a rear turbo seal which keeps pouring out smoke after heated up and after a good pull or 2.. been trying to make mind up over EPP's stock upgrade or whether I should just for for ATPs because they are only 600$ more or so pending on where are boughten.. Then I see this new companies claim that they perform just slightly less when compared to ATP at quite a lower price point. So now I'm really up in the air on what to go with..
Appreciate any inputs on what you'd recommend and why! Thanks.

Personally I would stick with tried and true.  ATP or EPP.  Without reliability data cannot recommend others.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

$1,600 for 2 compressor wheels sounds steep to me...

I emailed them to see if it indeed is only a compressor wheel upgrade or if they do any sort of machining to accommodate a larger wheel and if so what the sizes are and if they replace the chra's but I too agree it's a bit much for 2 small wheels although after googling a bit about agency power they seem to have only good reviews. Don't see much for their upgraded turbos though mainly exhaust parts. Hope to get more info from them otherwise it looks like it will back between ATP or EPP.

No argument, but I like to know what I'm buying. I hate the performance market because it's FLOODED with BS "performance" parts. I want to see data. I want specifics. I know it's not just me, lol

ATPs the data is out there.  Fewer have done CHRA type upgrades, and i dont think there is dyno data yet.  Seat of the pants reports are encouraging, possibly enough to require a tune update.

That should be the same size which incorporates the existing studs AFAIK.  Z

Install requires a Minor Mod to the front Turbo Oil Line
No Big Deal., They Spool Up Faster, Less Stress, That's for Sure.
Pricing HAS been about the SAME for a minute, and
After what happened to my Stock One's, it is the Way to go from my standpoint

That's Vivid racing, google the address.
They're selling the same CHRA that I am, sourcing from the same guy most likely as we're all local.

Too bad you cant get slightly bigger housings for the upgraded turbos and get back some top end breathing room.
