FP 20G (Not SL2) 8cm with exhaust porting 6-7k on turbo
This turbocharger was installed new in May. We primed the turbo properly before we ever started the car. This turbo went on a brand new motor and was never tracked or street raced. Also the motor was broken in properly as Mike sent me a map that rev limited me @ 4k 
. It was used nicely though as I love me some boost.
With my setup I was full spool before 4k and had nice top end and tons of low. Did like 360-370 AWHP (can't find the dyno sheets but I am sure I can source them from Mike if anyone wants to check them). on the Heartbreaker on 116. MUCH better turbo than the VF39. This turbo is internally gated. I always changed my oil and filter before 3,000 miles. This turbo has seen 3 new batches of Redline 5/30. No shaft play and not bent or broken fins. Turbo charger looks great.
Asking $800 paid $1200 new. Still have the receipt. Will post pics in a little bit.

Ok here are some pics, found my camera cable.
So if anyone is wondering why I am changing this out it is because I wanted a 30R w/EWG in the first place but with my motor build running DEEP in my pockets I had to run the 20G for a little while.

^^^Thanks man.
Ok I guess my stupidity = your gain. My Dom 3 came with a ss oil feed line and I ordered one from FP. So if you buy this turbo I will throw in for FREE a new in package FP ss braided oil feed line for the turbo.
