Stage 2 turbo build

[Lillblack]

Got some sun today so I painted the front fender

Great build, first I've seen it ???

 

[Lillblack]

Almost done, had to send the turbo off to Turbos direct. Hope to get it back next week

 

[Lillblack]

Bad news turbo kept leaking oil, I got fed up with it and sent it to TurbosDirect down in Phoenix to have them rebuild it. The rebuild, balance and cleaning job was a 100 bucks less than a new turbo thru the Garrett exchange program. So I went with the exchange program instead and got me a new gt2871r. He had the turbo on hand so it should be a few days and we will be good to go.

Thats not bad news.... new turbo is always great news!

Black, did you have a gt2871r on your previous setup?

I think it was, but not 100% sure. The old turbo didn't come with any tags or paperwork the new one has a S/N and tags so I know it the real deal.

The new turbo came in 30 mins ago. A few hundred bucks got me a new turbo

So how's the bike been running?

 

[Lillblack]

When I do ride her it's great. But haven't had time to put her in the track and see what she can really do.

 

[Lillblack]

Got a set of new to me EBC pro-lite rotors. I like the looks of them and who can are argu about 18% more stoping power. I hope to get a set of brembo calipers and a brembo RCS 19 MC next, if I can find them for the wright price.

[Lillblack]

After the rebuild of my shock, my bike was siting a little high. So I got theses to help me out.

[Lillblack]
