Yes, this is a FP 3065 turbo, it started out as a DSM flanged housing (FP called it the 3065 as it has a gt30 exhaust wheel with a 65lb/min compressor wheel) All I did was put the tial SS v-band exhaust housing on it and JMfabrications built me a v-band manifold.
Garrett calls this turbo the GT3082r (gt 30 exhaust wheel with a 82mm exducer compressor wheel)
Here is a link to the 3065 on FP's site http://store.forcedperformance.net/m..._Code=Turbo-FP

Ya it went 10.95 @130mph on 22lbs with the stock motor in 50 degree weather vs my 10.51 @134mph in damn near 100 degree weather. After that run it just ran consistent 11.0's-11.20's @128-129mph. I only had maybe 5 passes at the track with the stock motor (same turbo setup and all) before I got booted for no roll bar. Now it has the roll bar and a stroker motor I'm good to go out anytime I want now.
With The stock motor the back pressure was alot lower then it is now with the stroker motor. So I suspect the turbo is just flat out had enough and will not give me anymore. The small GT30 exhaust wheel is choked at this point. I haven't tried removing the exhaust yet to see if it picks up any power, but I plan on doing that sometime soon to get some data before I pull the trigger on getting the 1.06 A/R housing.

Welp, I was wrong on the weight, Weighed the car again the other day with the roll bar now and all the safety equipment. Half tank of gas with me in it, it came out to 3401lbs. Ugh, this thing is allot heavier then I thought it would be. Time for this turd to go on a diet!!! lol
