Why do you wish you had a stock frame turbo?
the FP's get real good reviews and they can make just as much power as my t3/t4. The down side is a new FP is almost 2g's where as my 55/57 PTE is $800 brand new.
I got my BBK full for a little over your PTE cost and I just love the crazy fast spool it has for a turbo capable of 450whp. Guess it all depends on what your want and the budget that you set.
Ive looked at the prices for the bbk's and there almost 2 1/2 times the price of my pte so you must of got a hell of a deal. Either way you got an awesome turbo!!
Yeah it was an amazing deal 900 with anti surge cover. Turbo was only on for 3000 miles
0-100 pull up a hill

Love it! I'm sure the "1" fell off on the left side of the speed limit sign =P
Sounds awesome! I can't wait to build the eclipse with the 4g64.
Nice, looks mean on the way back down
looks like some torque steer as you go up the hill, have you taking it to the track with the new turbo yet?
not yet season is over here unfortunately because it pretty much rains all the time, there is some torque steer but its not too bad, boost increases per gear so it actually is the worst right when I shift into 4th but its manageable on summer tires. Car is on all seasons on the street so its a bit more squirelly. I plan to rebuild the tranny with stronger synchros and new bearings all around its starting to feel a bit tired.

New knob a friend made. I can have more made if interested feels amazing.
You can reach your radio now by resting it on the knob

Its actually quite perfect, I barely have to move my hand from the steering wheel to reach the shifter and the knob is very ergonomically shaped
What does it weigh? and how much did that run you to have him make it? or was did he just make it for you for free?
:D
Its a 3D printed prototype, the production versions will be made out of Delrin and will be somewhere in the range of $150 for the first run, the more that are made the cheaper they will be.
What car quick release and steering wheel you go with I'm looking into getting one
Nice..You all thought about selling on a forum like zilvia, I'm sure some of the members over there would be all over them as well.
Quick release is NRG. Steering wheel is a Personal Grinta suede 350mm
Replaced the coilpack on this sucker and took it for a drive to make sure all the readiness checks were in order so we visited council crest and then wandered through downtown and hit Washington park before dropping her back off.
