Full Blown Turbo Kit Owners Topic

Not any less than 93. BUT it will suck the water out of the air. So a full 55 gallon drum is no issues. But if you open it every week like I did this winter then sealed it back up everytime with new moist air trapped inside you COULD have a problem like me. Turns out 10 gallons at the bottom of a 55 drum sucked alot of water out of the 40 gallons of air that was in their with it.
I removed the water and the e85 was still good. I froze it with dry ice and pumped out the e85 into another drum.

You are a mad man.

Gotta bump this back up because of some OUTSTANDING customer service.

I am the one who bought my kit third-hand and was having issues with getting my manifold to fit. I talked to Justin, and after some initial resistance, I sent my manifold back. They tried to fit it in their jig, but before that they gave the manifold a once-over and saw that someone else had modified it (you can tell FBM welds compared to the offending ones).

LJ told me to give him a call, where he explained the situation as well as their bewilderment as to why someone else would modify the manifold considering that it has a warranty on it and if the fit wasn't correct, it would have been made right by FBM.

He told me that the manifold was well out from fitting and the appropriate action was to scrap it and buy a new one. He offered one to me at a discounted price, which was still too expensive for me to afford, but appreciated no less.

So, my manifold needed to be sent back so I can cut it up and make it fit. I talked to Justin and gave him my details and he informed me that he'd invoice me via PayPal for a shipping price, but that never came. My manifold did though.

Huge HUGE thanks to the guys at FBM, and specifically LJ/Justin for taking care of me in a shitty situation. I'm very happy I bought in to this kit (not necessarily this specific kit though, haha).

I too am very glad I got the Full Blown turbo kit.

Best customer service in the Biz!

Was it the dry ice in e85 to remove the water part?

Page 8 and you will want to use a Green spring.

Alright guys the KraftWerks replacement windshield washer fluid bottle looks to be a great option with the FBM kits! Tons of room afterwards. The bottle it alot more compact and used much thicker plastic that the factory resivor. Bottle is pretapped and all the oem parts swap over easily. It included to bolts/lockwashers and washers and uses a factory resivor bolt hole for one and a prethreaded hole along the frame for the other. My only complaints are that it is kinda expensive ($85+shipping) and that it holds air if you don't slowly fill it up. The first time I filled it up half the bottle was fluid and the top 1/3 air, yet the filler neck itself was filled to the top. I'm not going to bother venting it though and can live with slowly filling it or pulling the drain up before filling. That and pushing the rad forward and you have a very easy pass through to shorten the piping and pull it out of the foglight backside!

Anyone have any issues with coolant burning?? For the last week I see white smoke and it smells like coolant in the bay.. Haven't been able to trace it coz it's snowing so any wet spot could be snow or coolant ..

I did top up my coolant about 2 weeks ago , it looked low in the canister, I wonder if its just over filled and its burning?

Check your coolant line leading to the turbo. Mine got brittle.

Hey guys. So recently I noticed that after I let the car sit and idle for a while, maybe like 8-10 minutes blue smoke comes out of the exhaust slowly and if I rev it I get a few puffs of smoke. Doesn't happen any other time as far as I know. This is only when I've noticed it. Here's a crappy video I took just now

Anyway, I think this has to do with when I was emptying the catch can. I didn't realize how full it was and tipped it around a bit and at one point it was almost upside down when I was trying to get the bottom bolt off to drain it. I think some oil fell into the hose but I don't know if it would cause this problem. If it was this how should I go about fixing it? Any advice on what else it could be if not that? Thanks
