More than a month ago I noticed my FP Green had more play than it should. No smoke, no crazy noises (except this faint metal on metal clicking once in a while) so I decided to send it back to FP to have it rebuilt and while I was in there also went with some new hardware. I like to do stuff once so I don't have to bother every other day with crap.
New SCE copper gasket from FFWD
New ARP high grade 170000 psi alloy in a black oxide finish for turbo to manifold and o2 to exhaust housing also from FFWD. The stainless hardware is for the Tial wastegate.
New DEI Tiatnium manifold wrap which is supposed to be better than the fiberglass one, but even if its not at least I didn't itch like crazy after putting it on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif
New -4AN braided stainless steel line from FP and their filter. My old line had a small spot where the stainless was shafing off.
Here's the bad boy after being rebuilt:
Turbo, o2 housing, wastegate and new o2 installed. The exhaust housing looks a bit funny from cleaning it with brake cleaner /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Everything in the car. This is my second time wrapping so I'm still practicing so please excuse the shitty job.
Fresh fluid/filter and she's ready to rock and roll:
