I wonder why the turn around times are so different. According to my tracking number FP received my stock turbo Feb 16th and I still haven't received it. I have called many times, but the date just keeps getting pushed back.

Well thats what i originaly had them do, but come to find out the turn around for thouse are more like 5 or so weeks. these things are on such high demand...

ive been waiting almost 2 months now,, the turn around times are so different becasue they wait till they have a set number of turbos before they start on them and then they do them all at once and everyone who is waiting will get them at the same time,, mine should be in next week

I am thinking the turnaround time for 8 conversions may be longer than 9 conversions.

They told me mine would here this week, but I haven't heard anything after that. Maybe we will get ours at the same time

I actually just got a call from Robert at FP saying that their really getting behind because nobody seems to be returning their cores via the exchange program - so, FP can only turn out rebuilt Evo Greens at the rate they get people's good cores returned to them...

I have only been waiting a week, so I felt that Forced Performance showed some professional courtesy by giving me this update along with the option to cancel my order due to the wait...

Dsmfan, you receive a tracking number from FP yet? I ordered my green about a month ago and yesterday got the tracking number. Says it should be here monday can't wait to get that badboy put on. The thing about Buschur is FP actually makes and supplies the green turbo for them, but i don't know exactly why they charge 1700. Must be the name, haha. Gotta love buschur products though.

it took almost two months for mine but i know that Buschur wouldn't put their name behind this unless it was a great product thes guys are super professional and don't back any bulls*it products. Buschur and FP FTW.

I haven't received any information on my turbo yet. I did order both the extra options so that may make it take a little bit longer. It's hard to say, I'll just be happy when I gets back
