[dsmcarnag3]

getting ready to order my fp green... if i go external wastegate on the o2 will i still be able to use the factory ps pump location. thinking the punishment o2 housing with a tial mvs. what are the benifits/downfalls of going external. thanks in advance

I have the punishment re-circulated O2 housing with MVS on my setup with the BEP housing on my Holset and everything still fits fine over there. There aren't really any downsides to running an external other than the factory heat shield no longer fitting. I wrapped my O2 housing in DEI titanium wrap to protect my alternator and PS pump from excessive heat.

The stock A/C fan most definitely does not fit though. I put a pusher fan on that side.

Benefits include being able t( hold higher boost more accuratly. I run a pr 02 and tial 38mm and all I did was move my dip stick a lil. And this is on a bw 256.

External WGs hold boost much better, I had a green on my 2g w/ a tial 44, and the p/s location was fine...

also, fp green is a mitsu houshing right... so the dp i have now should work?. trying to get everything lined up so i can do it ALL at one time with a small amount of down time. would all this fit if i get fal slim cooling fans? thanks for helping a turbo noob,

The down pipe you have now should work as the punishment housing is designed to have the same dimensions as stock. The slim fan may fit, I did have a slim fan for a while pulling and it worked but it was super tight.
