FP Black Ball Bearing tested - documentary results inside.
I undertand this, however since people have gotten much more power from the turbo and the big downside was thrust bearing failure from the high speeds not lack of power Tom can push the limits without fear of killing the bearing section and the turbo. Push it hard to find out what it has in it then set it where you like it. HTA82 compressor wheels can do a lot.
ya it has much more in it, im just taking baby steps this time because i want the turbo to have a long healthy life.

I think he had another black that he sent t them that was new and was planning on sending the blown one back to FP to fix,correct me if I'm wrong Tom.
not sure.. the cars def good for it now. i just had it out 30min ago abusing it. the clutch was slipping yesturday in 3-4-5 but today it wasnt slipping. i think it needs a rebuild soon tho. i might take it to the shootout not sure yet. will be a last minute thing if i do and ill arrive on sunday.
it only slips when its dead cold tho (the car, not weather).. so i dont know if thats something to do with twin plate or what.. i dont ever recall experiencing it before tho.
