FP Red or BR 3065

I have on 04 Evo 8 with a stock bottom end and head(except for cams and head studs) i wanted to get a new turbo. Something that was fairly quick to spool but yet put down some power. When the red came out i was leaning towards that but then i came across the 3065 and was thinking about doing that. I really can't find to much info on the spool up on both or the power on the 3065. So i need your opinions on what you think i should do and what would be a good turbo.

I am pretty sure the red will make comparable power but better spool. You also wont need an exhaust manifold and o2 housing for the red.

1)they will make about the same power
2)red will spool quicker
3)red will save you $1500-$2000

i was caught up between the fp green, fp red and 3065...and now its down tothe green and red...the 3065 is too laggy for a DD. the red will spool quicker, and you will get the same numbers

FP red ftw

About the price difference i can get the 3065 for about the same as the red! People say the spool is fast dose anyone have any charts on both? How much fast would you say the spool will be?

Id get the red over the 3065 but to say the 3065 is laggy no way. However if you can get both turbos for the same price (Assuming that the 3065 is part of a kit) get the 3065 cause the opportunity is there down the road to bolt on another bigger turbo.
