Note the FP (forced performance) logo.  

Then look them up:

There was a group buy on these when they came out, they were signifigantly cheaper.  I should have gotten one.  Oh well.

Damn man, looking just awesome, nice to know theres a decent dsm up north still. You ever take her to prince george?

[Jesse Veitch]

equal length? am I missing something or does that simply mean all the runners are equal length?   ..because the ones on the FP are definitly not the same....   I dig the manifold though, just wish there was a wastegaite flange available on the collector, not everyone wants to run an FP turbo too.. but I guess that's their game plan....  Does FP make a turbo comparable to the dual BB SCM5031RE? I think their turbine housing is probably a little big for the lag I want anyway.. it's larger than .63 isn't it? I've heard around .70

[John Hartman]

Lookin very good Scott!

As for the manifold, its also supposed to be 11 lbs so its also a weight reduction over a stocker.

As for the turbo, have a look at the FP 3052 if you want a small(ish) totally awesome turbo. In house designed and cast stainless steel exhaust housing, v-band clamping for the downpipe, very nice snail.  Too small for Scotts setup, but for a quick spooler, its awesome.

I'll most likely be in PG for the first time out to the track..test and tune. Jesse, you can always use a O2 mounted wastegate.

Updated pics....(sorry for the huge size)

[Jared Grant]

ORGASM!!!

[Mike Schmid]

Looking good!  I like all the polished bits, looks sharp.  

Can't wait to see it in person and see how it runs.  Faster than mine no doubt... *grumble grumble*  

[Jesse Veitch]

Looks great... and yea, there is the o2 mounted option.. but then you're still limited to the wastgate passage through the turbo right? sure you can port the shit out of it but the manifold collector is the best choice.

I however now see that FP is coming out with an FP3050, it's not out yet but I was reading about the testing of it on another forum.. The other FP BB turbos were too big for what I want.. but now I will have an option with them..

I might just go full T3 though.. when I go FP you gotta change everything anyway.. other than the manifold, so it's not really bolt on... and I think the spool on it will probably be slower than the PTE version because of the bigger FP exhaust housing.. have to wait and see.. I've got some reading to do.

[Scott Girvin]

Im sure every major turbo vendor would be willing to put any exh housing on whatever turbo if you asked...its all about the dollar.

On topic...made up some IC pipes today. My shitty welds but they'll hold. Just waiting on some new ARP flywheel bolts(MKIII bolts) and I'll button everything up.

[Derek Fung]

very very nice. love the shiny pieces.  polished or dipped?  looks very sharp. good job.  :shock:

[Scott Girvin]

No place for dipping in this neck of the woods,lol. I polished everything with a cheap Jobmate bench grinder with a 5" polishing wheel.

[Scott Girvin]

Another late night...decided to take a crack at welding up an intercooler pipe. The welds will hold and they pressure tested  ok.....but they're not the prettiest(my DV camera sucks at still pics).....

[Calvin Ng]

very nice nice nice!
