Well, decreases under hood temp, decreases spool time. Not like "OMG I'M SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS TURBO BLANKEY! ALL TEH GAINZ!"

What turbo are you putting this on?

Main concern was radiant heat to everything else. Same with thermal covers for the oil and coolant lines...

Bnr 3071 turbo.

You can probably get to the plug if you remove the lower cover; there's some room above the lower cover of the bumper cover.

There are threaded white plastic insert in the Fender well. Anyone have a part number ?

im sure the woosh mount will break in but man with the AC on at idle, car feels like a clapped out geo metro lol.

FMIC was maintaining temps at about 100-108 deg with an 84 deg ambient temp. thats cool.

For the price I am blown away at the quality of these charge pipes. This is where the bov will go. Plenty of room up there and as close to the outlet as possible. Also tial advertises the weld flange as 2.5 , but it is actually coped for 2". Nuttin a flap wheel won't take care of.

Put the BOV up to the other end on the turn nearer the intercooler and you'll have a much shorter run of vacuum line if you are coming off of a symposer delete, and it's really easy to get to for servicing.

Dropped the red rocket off for a paint correction and ceramic coat treatment today

 

[Dirtfiend602]

Got a letter from gaudin ford today offering me more than I paid for the focus, crazy. I kind of want a big turbo maverick.

 

[Dirtfiend602]

I love this car it ain't going anywhere! It's about to be big turbski time!

Not a cool update but after seeing the 1.11 cost of a single fender liner rivet I'm glad to see clips and fasteners is still around. Been ordering from them for 10 plus years.

I bought a bunch of constant tension clamps from them a while back.


Good call on changing those over, the markups some of these OEMs charge is insane.
