Haha, my excitement is hard to keep calm as well. Especially when I start watching fp black evo's on youtube. I'll be on that site for hours when I get into it. haha

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Nice, I wish I would've listened to Shane and went BAP, but my setup has worked well so far, I haven't had the problems that Lomker has. 1400's here too.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Yep, already have a dual pump setup. The 1st pump is a 255 and the second is a ford gt500 pump i think.

Hope it stays that way. I have three fuel pumps. More is better.

I was curious about that as well. The wheel looks like it was designed for something else and ground down. This is a pre-production version so maybe they will have a prettier looking wheel made later on?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Clipping can be used to make a little more power or to help keeping the exhaust wheel from melting/turbo failure on road race cars that never get a break for the turbo to cool down some.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Honestly not sure....I thought it was supposed to be the same 67mm turbine wheel from the FPred. But it looks a little strange for sure. I guess we will see on the dyno what it does.
Don't think i have ever seen DB performance post, just Shane under Ecoli, is that Danny?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Here's what my FPred exhaust wheel looked like, a bit different...
So not sure what the deal is...I will ask Robert if he used a different wheel.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I asked robert about the black and here is what he said:
Do me a favor and dont put up a bunch of pics of the turbo since we are still sort of fresh with it at this point. And dont confuse yourself any more than is necessary either
R
I will just put it on and see if it makes power, not sure what the deal is with the exhaust wheel, but i sure am confused, lol
