No lube just hylomar it is made by permatax i use that to help hold them down and it is also a form of silicone but doesnt harden like silicone does but it makes it easier to put the seals on

Nice yeah i hear of alot of people using microtech my brother in law has a jport running a microtech...i had an extra pfc laying around so i decided to use that for mine...i have to get a chip fixed in it though the computer thinks it is in boost all the time. Hopefully it woulnt be too expensive to get that fixed.

I am running pfc, turbo size is t04 t60, the exhaust housing is a 115 though i think it is hybrid the guy i picked it up from had it on an rx8 and it was a brand new rebuilt for 100 bucks so i could pass it up... it does have a plate on the back of it that says FC3S/FD3S but thats all i know about it lol .

yeah when you do builds like this it ends up just coming down to what you can get for a better price or you will end up over paying for everything and the build will never get done lol
Yeah a lot of the people i know personally run mircortech and a few with pfc. I Originally was looking at pfc but the price of the mircotech that i was offered was too good to pass up. Good luck with the fix and hopefully it isn't that much to fix.

I also kept it. Others that Has done the swap normally don't. But i had to mod the intake elbow to be able to have a clean bend with the pipping out to my front mount.
