Im looking forward to seeing the results for this, Im still thinking of ditching my setup for the red. I just like the stock frame turbo setups. If you make good power with this, I will see what a 2.3 can do with one.

Got the turbo back from Bob @ MAP/FFPerformance. He had assured me it would be done tonight, so I pushed him a little to make that happen. I was originally going to get my turbine housing coated black then silver to match my buschur coated manifold and SS O2 housing, but he had a wedding to get to and could only do one coat, black. Well, I didn't want a silver manifold and o2 housing and black turbine housing, so I ran them over to him and he got them all re-done in black. He got it done, and the quality is truely exceptional. I went over a bunch of details with him ahead of time and he came through on all of them like it was a no brainer.

I took some pics as best I could, but with the black coating it makes it tough to see the detail. I'll try more in the morning before I put it in the car.

I'm really pumped to see what this thing will do :)

I'm suposed to get up early and pick my parents up at the airport, but I couldnt sleep. So I figured I'd take pics before it went on. There are about a billion, I was trying to take some detailed pics of the port work.
