import36, thank you! I will do everything I can to capture the driving experience of the car in my review. I can't stop thinking about it.

looking forward to your results

This car better not be anything less than 100% perfect when FBIS gets it back! Lots of eyes on this build and this is the perfect car to do it on...

The manifold is done and the wastegate plumbing is being finished off. FFTEC continues to have tremendous communications with me as the build moves forward. I am pumped!

jpsimon · 04-11-2012, 02:05 PM

will you be able to share the pics they send you once it's all done?

Great news. Do you have a ballpark estimate of when you will be receiving you car back and performing the review? More or less than a month?

mkPOTO · 04-11-2012, 02:10 PM

jpsimon, there are going to be pictures that I probably won't share only because this is the beginning of the single turbo game and FFTEC/Vishnu does deserve privacy to protect their design from the copycats as long as possible.

GetWellSoon, I will defer to Vishnu/FFTEC to answer that since they are finalizing the pricing now.

GeorgiaTech335coupe, I don't want to give specific dates because I told them I don't have a specific timeline. My guess is within a month. I will perform the review as soon as I get the car back.

How itchy are you to go single? You have been on these forums and with this platform a long time too buddy.

jpsimon · 04-11-2012, 05:22 PM

I'm itchy but it won't be happening for a while, the earliest would be the next time my turbos die. Just excited the option will be available. Also I don't want to have to ship my car, so hopefully by then I can just order the kit and have it done locally
