Having exchanged multiple PMs and a phone call with Geoff, he has educated me on the advantages of the BW EFR turbo. He will link you to this:

I read the whole EFR turbo tech brief. The biggest advantages come in terms of racing with lighter weight components. The EFR turbo is generally a larger turbo and harder to package than a similarly sized Garrett GTX due to the center bearing design. There are advantages in packaging with the internal wastegate not requiring multiple wastegates and dump tubes for a twin scroll setup.
