2nd time FD owner, first time actually doing some real work with one..

Currently in the process of rebuilding.

Turbo I guess is a Mitsubishi?? eh gonna need entirely new turbo setup.

Has old HKS PFC F-CON, debating which ECU to switch to (input appreciated PS: I want a reliable 400-500 HP more towards 400..) Have a Power FC with commander that came with the car, although debating selling on going for haltech, link, etc..

Will be re-painting engine bay, rebuilding engine in garage, new turbo setup if anyone had some for sale, installing new injectors/rails, re-searching what else I can declutter from under upper intake manifold.

MISC; (Joint housing/rubber joint grease LEAK) have a grease splatter line vertical (when facing front bumper) on the rear frame of the car appearing to come from both sides of the central boots/joint housing... I don't know the actual terminology yet on the FD. Anyone have a clue what they are actually called so I can fix/replace,

;Will also be purchasing a V mount any input appreciated...
;Painting most components matte black. Deciding which air spray gun and paint to buy.
