Thanks for the "Zinger" big baller!



May your impeller blades spontaneously disinegrate while you are racing a bagged Cavalier.

 

i was quoted 3 weeks. that was 3 months ago.

funny thing is even though im on rebuild/exchange plan ALL My parts including hotside turbine IX compressor, porting, ceramic coating is ALL DONE ( i have called FP numerous times to confirm this) yet no turbo because its not "put together" yet. ALL My parts have been there for > 3 weeks now, but no one can take 30 mins out to put it all together. 3 weeks, for a 30 min job.

all you who are getting quoted 3-4 weeks, its going to be a couple of months. unless u send them a IX, or u buy brand new right out, then its a hit or a miss some getting it in 3 weeks upto a month or more for those to.

supposedly mines suppose to ship out early next week, but i have heard this for a month now.

 

I bought a new one two weeks ago from FP.. according to them it was going to be 3-4 weeks. I ordered my ported/coated exhaust mani from buschur last week and they quoted 4-5 weeks.. bah

plus that 350.00 core charge on the mani is nuts

 

Hey is Green turbo a direct swap from our stock turbo. Or some modification needed or different O2 housing??

 

there is a 150.00 install kit required for the EVO8's

 

Digging this one up a bit, but havnt checked it. Now been waiting 3months, still havnt received the turbo. I bought mine new, no exchange policy. It doesnt matter. I have been very patient until recently, I am starting to get very irritated. Original quote time was 2-3 weeks. Reality = 3+ months. Anyone planning on ordering this turbo, prepare to be frustrated with the incredibly long wait.

 

Mine smoked the thrust bearing a few weeks back, has in and out shaft play. It's usually 300 bucks for a rebuild. Someone buy this thing at a discount and get it rebuilt so I can get something a little more robust. I have a long frustrating history with small thrust bearing turbos...

 

I bought mine outright too and it's been a month as of yesterday. I ordered through ForcedPerformance and they quoted 3-4 weeks since I wasn't doing an exchange.

did you buy yours from BR? I normally buy from BR but assumed FP would have it to me much quicker since they are the ones making the turbos.

 

ordered mine may 3rd still no turbo i kno this mutch i better not have any problems kjewer1 after waiting so long im expecting my turbo to be like a brand new one for the amount of time its taking.

 

WOW... people are waiting 2 - 3 months for a turbo, thats is crazy.

 

There was a brand new one on E-Bay twice in the last two weeks with no bids at a very reasonable price. Look it up and buy it from him if you want one in three days.

 

sent my stock IX turbo in for exchange on June 5. Still waiting.........

 

Ya, I got mine from BR. I think its wrong for FP to quote people 3-4 weeks knowing it will be 3-4 months. Im sorry to have to tell you that you will end up waiting around 2more months for yours. As I said before, I was originally quoted 2-3 weeks. 3 months later.... still no turbo. I called BR on monday and they still had no clue when they would be receiving the turbine housings or the o2 housings, which I am also waiting on.

 

Unfortunately, you will be waiting for alot longer, unless they receive a huge shipment of turbine housings, which is unlikely, you will have to wait around the same timeframe as I have, 3months and counting.

 

I have the same thoughts. If there is ANYTHING wrong with mine when I receive it, I will probably lose it. If I have to wait this long for a turbo, it better be flawless in every aspect. I think I was told there were like 50+ FP Greens on the waiting list. REDICULOUS! I hope those of us who have been waiting as long as we have will receive them soon.
