Rebuilt Green turbo Installed
 

Got my FP Green back from Force Performance and had the turbo installed today. Runs great (though relunctant yet to push it). Made sure no lines was close to the turbo. Worried about pulling cels, vacuum/oil/coolant/exhaust/boost leaks, and high temp due to air in coolant lines. Thankfully all issues were resolved with no real problems. Heres some pics.

Yep, couldn't wait till Sunday. The anticipation was "killer". So far I did not push the turbo past 4000rpm. Ryan mentioned minimal break in period for the turbo is needed, but still "gun shy" for a few more miles. So far she runs like a charm and she rpms very smoothly. After install the engine ran a little hot 205 degrees. Brad had a trick to burp out the air in the radiator and it worked.

Looks good,..I want one too! BTW,...why is there a rubber wrap around the pipe going to the BOV flange or is it a rubber hose bridging the the flange and the pipe itself? Also, is this a WBR FMIC?

Hey Kevin,
Its actually a silicon hose to the flange and yes, the fmic is a WBR. The WBR is a reverse flow (counter clock wise) fmic so I guess they decided thats the optimum spot for the bov. :noidea:

right on dan! your car is back in business...
