With the recent string of BBX turbos being cooked.
Is it worth upgrading the OEM oil lines with those offered from Forced Performance?

 

i would give it a go to upgrade them and for time being keep the boost low till it's upgraded.

 

I'd ask Chad at CBRD first and see what he thinks...then ask Robert if they have more in stock, not sure if he made a bunch or just enough for the FPblack testers.

Regardless, I am sure that he could make more.

 

A fine question. If I have the turbo pulled this Winter for inspection then I'd be interested in an upgrade.

Does anyone know what those upgraded lines consist of? I wonder if it requires a larger connection to the oil pan or what.

 

Here is a pic...it's in my car right now, lol.

 

I have about 50 miles on my BBX and have been beating the SNOT out of it, no issues so far! I'd say ask Chad, but then again he'd probably have recommended it already if it was really a known issue.

 

Got any links to the BBX failure? I've only heard of one or two, and they seemed to suggest problems with install or tuning, not problems with the turbo itself. Interested in more info if its available

 

didn't say it's a known issue though but i'd say upgrade it as it does not cost that much before anything else gives up. prevention is better right ?

murlo get me 1 set !

 

Call up Forced Performance, I am sure they can send ya one, they are nice guys

 

we do not have a slew of turbos dieing,

there are 3 that we know of (possibly one more)

we had an issue with coatings on 2 of them, the other was overspeed if i recall!!

things are going well for everyone else

Thanks for clearing the air.
Im in the process of installing a BBX in my car (Rogue's), and I just wanted to check.

 

Chad do you have the bbx in stock or is there a wait for it, also your exhaust manifold do you have any in stock?

 

turbo is 2-4 days to ship (built to order)

manifold is 2 weeks about!

thanks for the support guys!

 

Can you ship the BBX and manifold already ceramic coated?

 

yes, but it takes forever!
