No, but never really heard anything good about them. If I was having someone build and tune my car near Charlotte it would be Kasey. He is in the NC regional threads. Or I would take my car out to the Fayetteville area and have Force-Fed Performance and/or Spec-Ops Motorsports work on my car...

if you already have supporting mods to make a black work, go black and enjoy. If you're starting from scratch, get a hta86, or gtx/hta82 if you want less power

Not yet. I just received my Tial housing last week. It took forever to get here, and it's off to Calico for heat coating along with my ETS manifold and custom DP. I should have some numbers late next week

I have yet to see Dyno graph/ powerband gtx3582r results on 4g63/4 platform in high boost. Bump for results again the main reason I am so torn is if I go fp black / red I can always send it out to get ball bearing upgrade and even with journal bearing the results are readily available if you search. Hope this set up doesn't have too much lag. Good luck.

This will go on a built engine with Manley pistons, rods, springs, Cosworth bearings, Kelford stage2, etc on a 2.0 block. The rest is ETS: exhaust manifold w/ ext wastegate port, uicp, licp, 4" fmic, intake, recirc DP, HFC, & V2 Quiet. Fuel is provided via Walboro single 255 and I have a Bosch inline on the shelf.

This turbo will be replacing a Dom2 (for sale soon).
I have no intention of taking this thing anywhere close to the limit until I can get a new clutch/MC. Stay tuned....

Slowly but surely. I should be up and running Monday.

Engine in car...

Car was started Friday. No leaks, oil pressure is good. The charge pipe has to be finished and a small section of the downpipe.
