fpevo green ordering

Does FP have a core exchange program or is that only BR?

I emailed FP, but they never returned my emails.


Thinking about ordering on Monday.

Call FP up. You need to send in a core first for the quickest turnaround. If not, you may be waiting awhile.

+1. the waiting list on just ordering a FP without sending your 9 turbo in is long and the wait even longer. If the evo is not your daily driver, sending in your stock turbo would be the quickest way to change to a FP turbo.

Good Luck

Even if you send a core in, you'll wait a while.

i love how people just know what way is the fastest to do the FP green Exchange. There is no FASTER way to get it, it goes by first come first serve. if you send your core in you'll be waiting well over a month by now, and if you by it straight up you'll wait just as long. i sent my core to them on march 2nd and got it back last tuesday, do the math........

I haven't had a good experience with them so far. The way they were talking sounded as if they had misplaced my turbo.

Every time I call, they say it should ship out that week. They have been telling me that for over a month and I still haven't received even a tracking number.

They received my core on March 5th. I got it in my hands on March 27th. Do the math...

Obviously the lag time seems to have increased. All I can do is relate my experiences.


Dsmfan95,

That sucks. If it makes you feel any better the Evo9 turbo I purchased from a member here had frozen/stripped studs in it (which he didn't tell me about) so I had to have those extracted and the threads re-tapped. Now the hotside is out being coated. In other words, the Green is still not on my car
