Depends on the upgrade but the short answer is yes.

Given that's used oil and still has those levels of zinc/phosphorus I would say it's fine.

You have flows #'s posted on your website for the HTA 73 JB green turbo, but none for the BB Green turbo. Could you clarify or give a ballpark range of the BB turbo. Just the 602/603 dyno graphs are posted with regards to the flow capabilities.

Should be fine.

Power production wise there is no difference between the JB and BB Green. The benefits of running our BB units is a far superior transient response (boost recovery between shifts) and a bearing design that allows the turbo to be pushed even further than it's advertised flow limits without any adverse effects.

i have a quick ?

i understand that it is very important for a JB to get alot of oil feed through it. and that is why you guys came out with the alternate oil feed line coming from the oil filter housing instead of from the head. but with the BB turbos, too much oil can be a bad thing and hinder performance right? yet you guys still use the same oil feed line for the ball bearing units. does the oil feed line have a reducer (step down) in it to slow down/ lessen the oil feed? after the inline filter maybe? or is that amount of oil not enough to really do anything negative to the performance of the BB units?

i have a bb black waiting for me when i get home next month, i would just look at it instead of posting but i cant lol

another ?, i know you guys have found mobile1 oils not too great after they revised it, but that opinion was when you guys were selling strictly the JB units, is it ok to run mobil1 full synthetic 10w-30 through my BB black? thanks in advance!!!

I know I'm not Mike from FP but if you look on FP's site they actually have two different filters themselves that have different sized restricter holes in them for JB and BB

http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...e=Acc-OilLines

Obviously if I'm wrong with any of this Mike will correct it and I'll just delete this lol
