FP Red Question???
Order was placed 28 July, so you guys were right on with the 3-4 weeks in my case... 
How long did you end up waiting for yours? I see that it was shipped out to you on the 26th, when was your order for the FPRed turbo placed? I am wondering how far off we were with our deliver estimate in your particular case. We have been saying "3-4 weeks" as a default answer to that question, but I think we are doing it a little faster than that recently. Hope we were not too far off the mark with delivery in your case. 
Just got the FP Red yesterday, car getting dropped off this weekend for install and tune on E85, I'll post numbers when I get the car back.

If I'm running meth, not race gas, would it be a good idea to get the red or stick with the green?
Side note: I'm switching out the HKS 272 for the Kelford 272

A was asked why stock compressor housing orings are orange, and ours are black. We use compressor housing oring for the Toyota CT26 turbo in the EVO9 application because they fit better being slightly thicker. Fitting the BH tighter eases compressor housing installation and oring alignment. The orange ones are pretty easy to pinch and tear when installing because they dont stay in the oring groove very well and the black nitrile toyota one just fits better. If anyone wants a big wad of stock orange compressor housing orings out of new EVO9 turbos, drop me a line

Just installed my red today WOW not tuned but pulls hard and it feels like it spools just as fast an my stock VIII turbo. This thing must have a titanium wheel in it or something.
Nice job FP thanks this turbo rocks.

The FPred turbo is not even close to be considered a laggy turbo. This thing is just a flat out beast of a turbo. There is nothing like a small frame turbo making the large frame turbos enveous. I was extremely happy with the green but now, im in complete disbelief. Forced Performance nailed this one.
