Hey Guys,

I just thought I'd share my experience with the FP3052 install. I took a lot of picstures which I will post below. The install took a while, but we drank a lot of beer and had some motivation problems (after the beer consumption increased). All in all everything fit. The water pipe had to be dinged, the compressor had to be rotated to fit the bushur LICP, one of the coolant lines had to be bent quite a bit because it was in the way of the oil return line, but at the end it all fit quite nicely. It clears everything by a hair. I had a few complaints while installing it with my friends, but now I have none.

As to the performance ... this turbo is fun. I went from a 14b with a HKS external to this turbo, so it is quite a jump At the moment the car is only running 16lbs, later on today Jed and I will try to tune it for some more respectable boost. Still at 16 lbs the car is quite quick. The turbo has an awesome whistling sound, but because of the external it is hard to hear it once get on it.

The power hits in a really nice way, it is not like an ON/OFF switch. Once it hits, all it produces is huge grins on your face. Two of the local ricers thought we wanted to race then while tuning the car, so the got owned pretty nicely. Another thing that is cool about this turbo is the transient reponse b/n shifts. It is almost instant. Jed has a TRE big 16G and it is comarable to that.

I would really like to tell ou that the car has been transformed into a rocket, but at this point I cannot. The car is in dire need of tuning (Dynofest?), once everything is where it shold be I would post another review with full impressions.

Meanwhile I am trying to find a welded VC or a VCE, if anyone has one that I can borrow for like a week would you please let me know. I would truely appreciate it and will pay you back with beer/cash or whatever method is appropriate for you.

The mods of the car are quite a bit, they are all on my website:

Now on to the pics ... here we go (there are like 10-15 of them)

I didn't realize how nice the product placement was on those beer cans.

Seriously though, I really didn't think this thing was going to fit as well as it did but after mounting it up and bending stuff around it went pretty smoothly. Beer consumption was at a maximum (at least for my lightweight ass) and at one point I became beer and tool bitch in my own garage-that was about all I was good for.

I shouldn't have gone for a ride in it though after it was all done... it made me realize how slow my pile is.
