Of course it did, increasing the mass flow rate of the car to 44+lb/min without giving up any spool is a terrible thing to read about?

Boost ON!

I think the test is like any other... some are good some arnt so good.. ive seen tests with people switching from evo 9 turbos to greens and neting only 15hp and then theres others that gain 50hp.. just with this one there was such a loss that it made us sh3t our pants... but give it 2 days and there will be another making 20+hp compared to the stock 9.. ... well.. lets hope, at least for those who bought the great white hype.

I think for us daily driver guys we were looking for a bolt on replacement turbo that spooled like stock and and put out decent hp gains on pump. When results came back that the white lost power based on a set up that most of us have and run everyday some people are sure to be disappointed. Don't worry though Robert, I'm still buying one of FP's turbos. I still think you guys are top notch.

Once again I'll state what you get out of pump gas is working within the limitations of the fuel, and there will be a wide variance in results, much wider than when the properties of the fuel are not the limiting factor.

ALL the data needs to be correlated before any real conclusions can be drawn, but there MUST be a scientific reason why an engine that consumes MORE air and MORE fuel makes less power.

Agreed^^^ something yet to be explained is going on. More fuel, more air = less power?

I can't believe it LOST power, given the specs of the White vs. the stocker. I hope more early adopters share their results with the FP White soon.
