hmmmmm, I'm starting to think that there is something to this turbo

 

Fp red Is the way to go

 

Thought you were getting yours tuned? Any results yet?

 

I'm enjoying reading through the various threads about the FP Red and BBK Full (no thread jack attempt). I'm pretty torn about which route is for me. Bottom line, I absolutely cannot stand V-8s...period. I spend the majority of my time on the street and a fan of both autocrossing and drag racing. I'm thinking that during street and drag racing the FP Red on high boost will fit the bill but during autocrossing the FP Red on low boost might fit the bill. What do you fellahs think?

 

heres your autocrossing

the red does it all..

 

Here's my graph:





Not too shabby huh!

 

Thanks for the video. I will watch it after this. BlueDemon, when are you hitting full boost and what are your other "go fast" mods?

 

Honestly, I haven't paid too much attention to that but I will take a look at that after I come back from vacation around Christmas. Really, you won't even feel the lag on this turbo, especially not with the torque that I'm putting down. It just pulls you back to the seat as soon as you go WOT, it's crazy!

^^its so true you wont even notcie lag with this turbo over a stock IX turbo yet it puts down 500+hp and crazy torque

 

yea were doing it on monday right now there doing my bottom end i **** to make sure i can run 500whp all day

 

yup FP hit the nail on the head with this turbo

 

Nice! Al is doing it for you?

 

What did you make on pump only? Amazing #'s btw...

 

Man, I'm torn like the Fat Boys break up about the FP Red and BBK Full. I've seen the BBK Full spool close to stock IX turbo rate and then I read about the FP Red lag not being "felt". In a perfect world, I would have the ability of taking a test drive with both in different scenarios before making my decision. I really don't want to have to go the double pumper route ($500 bill not worth it IMO). But, I have E85 selling for $1.18/gallon here at Fort Hood that I want to take advantage of. I'd really like to take advantage of the added torque E85 will provide but at what point (whp/wtq wise) do I have to go with a double pumper? I've seen a BBK Full on E85 with 1000cc injectors and I wonder would they suffice for the FP Red. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

 

^^in my opioion it really doesnt make send to have a turbo where you know it has a limit of boost and a limit of power to another turbo where the limits are really unknown and has been pushed to 38psi and still making power
