What shape was the turbo in Mark?

Ordering the FP mani with coating soon.

Pete I'll install it with the 1g mani right now, and just change out the FP mani when I get it.

Edit: FP ran out of the coated ones, so I got uncoated for $175, I'll get it coated locally I guess. Maybe I'll talk to FFPerformance, they did Brandon's right?

the fins are chipped up and it had a cut housing so it took me longer to make a plate and weld it in there

That sucks, how bad are they? Is it going to hurt performance quite a bit? The center section looked alright though?

Yea I mentioned to Andrew to check that turbo out, because I knew the guy ran it without a filter... Not good.

My old turbo! How I missed it. Can't wait to see results from the new setup :)

Ok I can post again, was not working temporarily.

Anyway, yea that's your old turbo, but now with 40mm external wastegate thanks to TKR.
The new intercooler looks huge compared to my old one, MAP had to do a lot of bumper cutting to get it to fit, but it looks nice. As a result, I now I have short route piping, the BOV is on the bottom of the piping which is weird, but oh well, I like the way the Type S sounds.
