FYI. My car dynoed 318whp/313wtq on the Mustang here in Norcal that reads like buschurs dyno. The DLL log for that pull showed 351whp/331wtq.

This was on saturday in 55F temps.

I think FP has a dyno chart on their evo 9 on the new FPgreen turbo. Go to their site and check it out.

Is this a straight bolt on, and as good for the DSM guys as it is for us?

No, it isn't a bolt-on for the DSM community. I would suggest you look into the "Green" offerings from FP that are made for the DSMs.

Let me see, I just tuned Bobby's car 2 weeks ago, the car hit 30 spi and held 26 psi at redline, this was with the stock actuator. Made 20 psi by 3500 rpm and made 413 whp on our dyno. Seems to me that stock actuator works good. As I told you before, you should have done a boost leak check on that car.

The ONLY time to run the HD actuator is if you are planning on running pump/alky or race gas all the time.

I am interested to see some real world before and after dyno results and the tuning that went into it. not all of us are looking for an expensive bolt on turbo install and it would be nice to see some decent gains while still maintaining somewhat stock driveability and lowboost rpms in a lower-cost turbo setup, similar to the big16g and 20g that the eclipse community so love...

kinda funny how all the vendors bash with each other and neither one has any real-world dyno data to offer up on this particular turbo, just opinions and we all know what those are worth. I, personally have ordered from both companies and seem to be well respected, and would be nice to see some factual data added to this conversation, rather than flirting with the banstick that dave/al/shiv are so used to.

There are a few facts we should talk about. What type of boost control are we talking about? AEM with solenoid? MBC?

How did you achieve 100% "dutycycle"? Through maximum settings on the controller or removing the signal line to the wastegate?

The facts on the last 20gLT we tuned was on a Forge UNOS mbc, cranked all the way clockwise to maximum setting with the wastegate signal line still attached to the WG.

It certainly possible that the loading from the dyno rollers differs than what is experienced on the street which will affect taper.

It is also certainly possible that the type of MIVEC advance maps used can use more of the available boost as the intake injests the air sooner in the cycle which may increase the taper.

Regardless of any of these circumstances, in the end no one has been able to peak and hold the claimed 30psi at 8000rpms how it was initially marketed.

Without proper testing this was an irresponsible comment to publically make about the capabilities of the turbo.

We used a Forged manual boost controller, hooked up to the BOV line like always. Next time you use a Forged boost controller put the HD spring in it. I've also explained to you that our dyno simulates the road so closely that a re-tune is not needed. We road tested this car afterwards so the customer could drive it and the boost was the same story.

I've done some searching of your cut and pasted slamming of the turbo and your suggestions that the EVO9 turbo was better. The posts were reported when you made them and apparently the moderators took them down as I asked them too.

Luckily Jarrod should still have one we forwarded to Robert today, if so in the morning I'll be sure to post it since you have requested that I do.

Also for you stupid comment above about us not having anything to do with the turbo other than marketing it. You should check with Robert on that. All the MAF data, inlet/outlet temp testing and back pressure data on the unit being sold and the units that didn't make it were done by us at our shop. We also had the unit back in August when we won the shootout with it running 10.89 at 128. I'd say we've tested it as usual and played a very important roal in helping get it right and what WE wanted to offer and sell. My WE means our shop of 9 employees and Robert at Forced Performance. Not WE like you use it which refers to yourself working out of your house and trying to make it sound like a shop.

So you know, you are getting on my nerves.

I look forward to your dyno numbers. Your would be the first non-vendor provided dyno numbers. PLEASE try and do at least one run with the same before and after boost. I just would like to see what power the turbo produces using the same boost.

You may NOT discuss the editing of this thread here!!!

So before anyone blows a gasket wanting to know why your post was deleted, read post #1 and first see if your post directly applies to it. If it does not, that ends that. If you feel it still does, let it be known that Pd1 had input in cleaning up HIS thread. Even posts of my own were removed that were requested.

DO NOT discuss what was done in this thread here... feel free to PM the involved parties. Continuing off topic banter here would not be wise.

Pd1 felt that there was some useful information mixed in with some of the bickering... just because your post was left up without the "nasty" parts edited out, does not mean you are free to continue bickering in this thread... AT ALL! Matter of fact, those of you who actually do have some CLASS, should edit out any un-necessary content yourselves. Guess we will see who steps up on that.

Back to the topic at hand...

I'll unsubscribe to this thread for now. Let the "Pro's" stay here and discuss their results.

Please check out this thread for more dyno sheets from today and information on this turbo:

PD1, it will be interesting to see what your machine will put out when you get it tuned. you seem to be the only one on this board right now WITHOUT a biased opinion. too bad it became a bickering contest between two vendors.

Zeus, thank you.
