Buschur Racing tests the new HTA3076
Very interesting points. Not to venture too far off base as this thread is about the HTA3076, but it all depends on what purpose the FP Red is designed for. On 30PSI/E85, the FP Red has proven to be quite a monster, but what about its performance on 30PSI/pump 93? I don't have any dyno charts to compare at this time, but I'm assuming that it will not compare to the 35r on 30PSI/pump 93. Assuming that one wants to run E85 with the FP Red, the FP Red brand new with the required fixings runs roughly $2100 and after you throw in the double pump ($500), ported IM with 65mm TB (roughly $450), and ported intake manifold (roughly $200), you are sitting at roughly $3250 which costs more than the BR GT35r kit ($2995) which will probably out perform the FP Red/30PSI/E85 on just 30PSI/pump 93.
I'm sorry for the mini-thread jack.

NO, About the same peak as the standard 35R, just more mid-range and torque. Nothing mind blowing but certainly a noticeable improvement. Search under Buschur threads, he tested it for sure.
Yes. I did list the intake manifold twice. I meant the ported and jet coated exhaust manifold. The logic behind why one would not need these additional parts with a turbo that's able to flow more air (hence more power) is the fact that it would make more power with less boost compared to a smaller turbo that has to have all of the correct supporting mods to achieve anywhere close to those numbers of a larger turbo. For example, if one has a goal of 550whp and his two options are the FP Red and HTA35r, it would be economically cheaper to go the HTA35r route as opposed to the FP Red as it would require less parts needing to be upgraded.
The HTA35r does not require less parts to be installed than a Red. The example you posted of the 550 whp goal would require EVERY mod on a Red to get there and nearly as many with the HTA35r. I would personally recommend the same supporting mods for both turbos. Supporting mods are what gets you reliable horsepower and a car that is more than a one hit wonder. Build the car right the first time and you will have a car that you don't hate driving and want to part out and sell off.
