This is just an example of the service i used to provide on a regular basis. It’s unfortunately not a profitable business unless done on a large scale, but i still occasionally perform the work on certain turbos. You all know this one as FP Crispix Green: Before: ![http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/61/l_e2c5e5a199d94c23979fbb2159bb2623.jpg](http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/61/l_e2c5e5a199d94c23979fbb2159bb2623.jpg) ![http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/12/l_5f8f3a3192bc42aeaf2d132c6eef9269.jpg](http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/12/l_5f8f3a3192bc42aeaf2d132c6eef9269.jpg) Fully disassembled, cleaned(hot tank, chemical bath, jet wash, soda blasted), assembled with new parts where necessary, VSR balanced(vibration sort rig balancing). This particular unit balanced to .0021Mg/in at 25K rpms. I also setup and welded the turbine housing flapper shut as well, for EWG use(free float turbine housing) After: ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg4.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg4.jpg) ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg3.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg3.jpg) ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg2.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg2.jpg) ![http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg1.jpg](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/Boxxersix/fpg1.jpg) Now a days I usually only work on large frame GT-R turbocharger, switzer, IHI, and mitsu. Others I’ll do on an onsight basis. Just thought I’d show you guys how i can bring something back from the grave… ---

I still want to send you my 40r and have it blasted in prep for thermal coating. same with my manifold if need be !! just give me a shout and drop it off when you’re ready. Doesn’t take me long to do. If i’m at the machine shop and the parts are already separated I could get them back to you in 15-20 minutes. I just did EJ’s intake manifold and sent it to swain for WL ceramic to keep the heatsoak down to a minimum. Thanks for the props folks 🙂 Travis, yes I should be home by 9:30 just to be safe. Be sure to call me first though. It’s all set and ready to rock/sell for ya, in the box too Cost me a little more than the price we agreed on but a deal’s a deal and I’m cool with it 🙂 ---

Well I certainly hope he can get some money for this thing now. Benefits both of us. He has a fresh turbo to sell use and I have less of a tab owed on the Sti transmission. ---
