All I got for the FB is new floor mats. May sound trivial, but I'm stoked anyway because they are the right ones! Now I can ditch the 'ol NOS floor mats . I have been working pretty hard on my engine also. Got everthing pretty much mocked up, and the turbo is almost done. Got the twin scroll removed and the hole welded shut. And the wastegate is being ported the **** out of it. Scroll down toward the bottom of the page for the engine pics. https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-293/project-updates-553481/page4/

How about the Banzai PFC patch harness? Would that be an option for you as well? I want a haltech one day.$$$

Have you tuned any T2's running the PFC adaption?

I will go bigger on the one for the 13BT. This one is 35mm. I put it on the 12A turbo. WOW, what a differance. NO MORE boost creep! AT ALL! I can turn the boost controller completely off and boost will be rock steady at 6 psi. Now I can drive the car at low boost whan I'm not at the meets. Then turn it up when I want!

I don't think you realize how much I ported it. I took the hole as big as the wall. Then I ground the wall out more to make a new ledge on that side.

The wheels look great Josh. DJ, I didn't rebuild my turbo. I just ported the wastegate. When we were at Dave's last, I snatched a turbo timer out of his junk. He didn't know if it even worked. Well, good news. It works fine. I even took time today to mount it and wire it up.

Hey Josh, Those look good man. What sizes are they? Wheels and tires? That Dupont paint you gave me worked pretty well for my wheels. I have gotten nothing but good comments since I did them. And it makes the road rash harder to see as wellNow I need to do something about the Brake rotors that show rust like a sore thumb.
Your calipers could use an update as well. I have some red caliper paint here if you wanted to do them up. And I have a brake power bleeder so we can do them off the car and flush the fluid at the same time if you wanted to.
