Si. Cobb had it all in-stock, but has to take the turbine housing back to FP for porting this week, then next week I'm going to take it for ceramic coating. Installation and tune is probably 3-4 weeks out since I'm also waiting on a special coupler for my LICP that's on back-order. Not a big deal, I'd prefer to not be tuned when it's 100F+ anyway. Yesterday morning at 10:30 when PlanoEvo dyno'd the temp in there was already 102.

Awesome, should be a sweet setup! You should've waited for the release of the BB FP turbos but running them on 93 oct you won't be stressing the JB anyway :)

They announced yesterday that next week all the 8/9 turbos are will be BB on their website.

It's not sounding good for the X turbos, that's what I was initially waiting for. FP told Cobb it won't be happening this year. Something to do with the test turbos not working as hoped so they're going back to the drawing board. CBRD won't do BB X turbos either, but will for the 8/9 guys. I tried and tried again :) I've been talking to FP, Cobb, SpecOps, and CBRD about it. But, if by some miracle they do come out within the next few weeks, I'll have them exchange my center-section.

Hmmm, interesting...stupid X turbos. Maybe I will do a custom mani to fit the 8/9 turbos :)

I think your setup will be solid regardless, can't wait to see the results.

I'm shooting for 400/400 on Cobb's Mustang, we'll see if the car has it in it with the stock cams!

I don't think you'll have a problem hitting those numbers, good luck!

Just getting ready for the next round of mods...

A lot of locals have been having spark plug failures with one taking out a piston in the process. It seems like they're all happening in the 30-35k miles window, I just hit 25k miles today so I figure now's a safe time to replace them, especially with the new turbo going on soon. To the non-X guys who notice the price of the plugs, we don't have a whole lot of choices yet (three to be exact). Factory (~$60/set), NGK Laser Iridium (same plugs, different box, a few bucks cheaper), or HKS Racing (~$100/set).

I also changed my transfer case fluid and rear differential fluids (yes, two separate fluids for the rear differential) again today. The old fluids only had 11k miles on them and were done about 6 months ago, but I figured no harm in frequent changes, especially considering how nasty it looked already :)

FP should have my Green done in a few days so then I'll be bringing that in for ceramic coating, installing my DW800 injectors, and putting on the 3" Depo LICP.
