Has a better firmer spring then stock turbo but ZZP doesn't recommend running ZZP actuator on their v3 turbos just something to keep in mind! Not really a HP gain mod just holds better boost for now with this trash turbo lol cant wait to get rid of it

Really? I have a ZZP actuator on my V3. They recommended it a year and a half ago. I just checked there website and they removed that recommendation since I bought mine.

That must be why I'm only making 240 HP.

Sone updated pictures, had some time tonight to start reconnecting everything + OEM brake boost and pcv lines had to be modified but wasn’t all that bad, so far loving this kit install was very simple

Motor vehicle Circuit component Auto part Engineering Gas

ADDED NOTE * I recommend using a long adapter when installing the fuel rail onto this manifold + racer x recommended using pipe dope instead of Teflon tape and I upgraded the racer x clamps to some other ones I had, I like these style stainless clamps better but any would work find it’s just a bit of oil flowing through these pipes anyways!

Working on some new fog lights used the factory housing and i mount these , I have the same light on my enduro and very pleased with lighting, couldn’t stand the factory bulbs they sucked lol I will be filling in the holes around the bulbs with some kind of metal or maybe a thin plastic piece cut out for each fog light. I will post pics once both sides are completed !
