I'm incredibly impressed with my first impressions of Forced Performances FP3052 (Garrett 3076 with FP turbine housing) turbo. I know that most turbos will do the basic job they are designed for. I am assuming that the Forced Performance Garret will live up to it's design as well.

The look and quality of this turbo by far surpasses any turbo I have had before. I didn't even spend the extra money to get anything polished and the finish on everything has a classic and clean look. The Garrett compressor cover looks like virgin bare aluminum of corse. The custom made Forced Performance stainless steel turbine housing looks awesome! Both the waste gate and O2 housing conection are v-band clamp style and the discoloration from the welding makes for a golden almost trophy like appearance. The Tial 44mm WG is just as nice!

With the whole assembly mocked up on the engine stand, it makes me think of an artizans steam fitting project from the industrial age, or a stage prop from the old time machine movie. VERY Classy.

Once I get the engine passed the break-in period (Lord willing) I'll let you all know if it pumps as well as it looks.

Good point Natedogg. Now that you mention it, the electrical tape covering the oil and coolant holes nearly covers the whole center section.
