Honestly not sure....I thought it was supposed to be the same 67mm turbine wheel from the FPred. But it looks a little strange for sure. I guess we will see on the dyno what it does.

Don't think i have ever seen DB performance post, just Shane under Ecoli, is that Danny?

I thought the same thing, haha. I was like.. huh?

Turbo looks nice, inducer wheel looks very similar to the Black in my possession. I'm excited to see your evo rip!

We are shooting to be open for business by the 15th of March. Please feel free to contact myself (Dan) or Shane if you have any questions or concerns.

I are winrar.

Here's what my FPred exhaust wheel looked like, a bit different...

So not sure what the deal is...I will ask Robert if he used a different wheel.

**Murlo26** · 07-30-2010

I asked robert about the black and here is what he said:

Do me a favor and dont put up a bunch of pics of the turbo since we are still sort of fresh with it at this point. And dont confuse yourself any more than is necessary either

R

I will just put it on and see if it makes power, not sure what the deal is with the exhaust wheel, but i sure am confused, lol

311evo · 07-30-2010

lol, kind of a shitty response imo.

**Murlo26** · 07-30-2010

Yea, but I trust him, he never lets us evo guys down.

I edited the national forums and took down some pics too since he asked.

I am hoping its a bigger new exhaust wheel than the 8/9's have since the exhaust housing is a bit bigger, in theory they should be able to stuff a little bigger one in there

**goodhart** · 07-30-2010

That's a real shitty response IMO.

Looks like a really beefy wheel and it looks clipped also like previously stated.

From my understanding, turbine wheels are clipped on street car to reduce spool time. At least that's one reason.

**Murlo26** · 07-30-2010

I guess I didn't mind the response, I am just happy I have the final piece to the puzzle...maybe I will make more power this way

I am sure if I ask Robert will give me the low down eventually.

**mlomker** · 07-31-2010

I bet he has a lot of people bugging him for one at this point.

I was just about to ask when this is going on, I got an itch to work on some cars again.

SO everything is here now right?

I believe so yea...the new OEM oil cooler might not be at DB just yet, but Danny had ordered it. Otherwise, yea everything is here. Just need a quick ceramic coating, I was going to go to grimmspeed but MAP is right next to work so it will save a lot of driving.

**Murlo26** · 07-31-2010

Some updated numbers from the other FPblack build...they ran outta fuel so they had to stop...but made decent numbers so far.

**scheides** · 07-31-2010

Feel free to start a 'FP Black for evoX' thread to compile data in the FI section. I think you're like 1/20 in actual project posts in this thread, LOL.

I sure am, that's why it's life of dave blog too

LOL.

I just update it a lot.

**Murlo26** · 08-04-2010

Got the Black back from MAP, 2 day turn around. Awesome job as always MAP, thank you very much!!!

Not the best pics, out in the sun....but you guys get the idea.

**cmspaz** · 08-04-2010

I can take some pics when you swing up to DB today

**Murlo26** · 08-04-2010

I was just trying to hurry and get back to work...I got my new IPhone 4, which is what took these, but if you want to take some uber pics with your good camera I am all for it.

We can talk at DB

**Kracka** · 08-04-2010

Should have done blue

**Murlo26** · 08-04-2010

Pffft...a turbo called an FPblack colored blue, lol, now that is nonsense!
