Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Umm, yeah. Seems to me that just getting a bigger turbo makes more sense than fiddling with all this crap.

You X guys change your mind about what setup to run more than Swifty used to!

There are only a couple locals on their 3rd turbo. I'm done the moment my shit works.

Cake and eat it too! That's what I want.

Like I said I think I am plenty happy at my power level. 550-600whp is a great place to be and I wasn't getting tired of it at all.

I just have to accept the power I make on the next rebuild and not push it. That will be my goal :)

Well here are a few pics of my FPblack now that it is out.

I am thinking it is just fine but wanted to see what you guys think.

I need some anti-seize to get a few bolts out so I can get the inlet off to check the compressor wheel but everything looks fine. I didn't see oil anywhere in there and the exhaust wheel felt nice and tight and spins freely.

The last few pics are the FP oil feed line and then the filter. There was a little debris on the inlet but not a ton. It looks like it stopped a bit.

Looks good, rip it!

Or are you fixated on a bigger snail since Hollywood got that AMS kit? It sure looks purdy!

Bigger snail, no! If anything I will rock another black or go back to a stock turbo to help with my funding. I am bleeding money on this car and need to stop. I am very tempted to run a stock turbo, very tempted. I'd give me another 1500 to pay for all the new oiling components and the new gasket set I need.

I thought it looked pretty good too.

Forgot to update this with how the car sits :)

On a side note, I sent my DW injectors to RC engineering today. I want an outside source to check them over before I send them to DW. It's an extra $50 bucks or something, but it will be worth it if they find something wrong with an injector, then I can throw it back in DW's face.

I would prefer the injectors test perfect though, then I don't have to deal with anything.

You know Ravenworks in Maple Grove tests/cleans injectors too right? Might save you on shipping next time around :)

[Murlo26]

Well I know now, lol.

Not the end of the world, but next I will for sure check local.

[Murlo26]

Well I exchanged a few emails with Chris at MAP today.

Looks like I will be trying out one of their turbos on this 2.2 build :)

I am even more excited now, yay!

[Kracka]

Very nice! Which one?
