Lightbulb Installed my FP Black yesterday - pics inside!

I had a full case of beer, the gf out of town and the garage all to myself so it was the perfect time to start installing my FP Black. Install was pretty easy because Forced Performance gives you everything you need for the oil line and instructions are pretty good on their website. The turbo was like any other stock-appearing turbo install and pretty effin fun & easy

I used all my existing bolt-ons because I'm going to do a comparison of the FP Black vs my old BBK Full to see spool time, etc at the same boost, fuel (E85), same car, same mods so it will be a real comparison. Just waiting for some exhaust gaskets and I'll be making my way down south to see English Racing. (Aaron remind me to bring you some of this beer I made )

Onto the pics -


Dirty Black ****





I can't believe how much rust I've accumulated over the past year.. derty..





Oil line installation









FP Oil line complete





This was the preload on the FP 25psi actuator and my personal dick beaters





This is the preload I set on the FP 18psi actuator so it started to open at 18-19psi and was about fully open at 20-21 psi.





Black at home





All buttoned up - Like a BAWS





After I do the equal comparison of the BBK vs the Black with all the same parts, this is going on NEXT

Some secrets are best kept hidden
Glad to hear it is performing as expected. Let us know if you have any questions in the future.
