ya whoore! You're supposed to drive, er...limp my car down!

Boosted, is this the car with the do-luck trunk lid? If so, very nice! I've never actually met you as you always seem to bail early at the ER events and all. Where do you get E98 in the area?

Can't wait to see results!

Still not 100% if I want to drive it down. What if your motor goes... I would feel horrible and wouldn't want you to hate me... lol

I have never seen people run the oil line to the black that way. Is it any better? Or should we just stick to running it in the stock location?

Yea it's the one with the Do-Luck cf trunk/Kansai cf hood. I hung out long enough to see Aaron car on the dyno at the last DO day, but ya, I almost go into apoplectic shock having so many people around my car so I bail

I get E98 delivered from glacialplains.com but may go back to pump E now that it's June and we should get at least E80 at the pumps. I ran the BBK on E70 and Lucas' E98 so whatever E I use with the Black I will have something to compare against.

if his motor goes you buy him anew one. thats how it works lol. I thought your 2.4 was not done yet. you were just going to install and tune the fp black while you wait on parts for the 2.4 build?? So yahu your car is offically messed up last time you talked about it you were not sure. Im guessing you want him to drive it down there so you can see whats wrong with it. LOL going to end up with a ER 2.4

The motor is all done and has been sitting in the car for the past 3-4 weeks now. We have just been waiting on the turbo from Robert and a few other little things that took longer than expected. The car should be doing break-in today or tomorrow at the latest.

Thanks. I thought the Buschur coating was silver...

Were you happy at all with the BBK? Just wondering your thoughts on it cause I'm considering it. Thanks.

^ It is, I had Performance Coatings coat mine because theyre local to me.

The BBK was great, never had an issue with it I'm just looking for more room to grow and more top-end power.

FP Black FTW!!!

Cheap turbo to make some legit power VS T3/T4 turbos that cost well over 3k for a clean and complete set-up.
