Good call on the FPR, having fuel pressure drop while running boost will ruin your day. I've seen pistons weld to the bore, then brake off parts of the bore.


There's a nice and convenient spot to mount it on your strut tower on the left of the fuel rail too.

Gonna change my turbo soon, because this one spools up to 14.5psi and my ECU can only cope with 9.5psi :) Updates will come soon
