Who is good at indentifting FD parts??
To say the least this fd is not stock. I bought it for $4500 bucks because the guy didnt know what was wrong with it. It had a cooling system issue, but now it has a turbo system issue as well. The car can't hold boost past 0 on the boost gauge and the complicated mazda twin turbo set up is a little too much for me so if I was to keep it id to single turbo.
I don't know exactly what some of the parts that have been put into the engine are though so that's where I need help. If the experts on here say that the mods done on it look fine ill keep if and single turbo it, if not I want to part it out and get a stock FD.
From what I can tell:
Aluminum radiator (not sure of brand)
Hks piping
Electric fan and electric fan controller
Braided (brake?) lines
Butt f*** load of wiring (this is what worries me) but also the tool put under glow lights on it so maybe that's why
AST
Japanese ECU
Exhaust
Saito roll cage
Turbo timer, boost gauge, water gauge
Rare ruff racing rims (can't find the same ones anywhere)
Aftermarket tires
Body kit (cracked) don't know which body kit it is

First pic is the stock radiator (I believe), the thing in front of it is the A/C Condenser.
Second pic is the ABS unit, but everything looks stock on there (I believe)
That shock absorber looking thing that attaches to the intake manifold is an aftermarket engine damper
I think you have an aftermarket AST, I believe they came plastic from the factory
Take my help with a grain of salt, I've only owned mine for a few months!
If you do decide to part it out, PM me.
Good luck!
