FP RED How long did you wait?

When I ordered it I was told about 3 weeks. it will be 3 weeks tomm, just curious for those of you who ordered one or have already received one how long did you wait?

I also didn't order mine when they first hit because it was about a 6 week wait at that point..

I also wanna comment that FP has great customer service everytime I have called answer quick and not in a rush, good people.

Frankly even if I have to wait 6+ weeks its understandable, but anyone just curious on this

Thanks guys

they told me 4 weeks. Just ordered it today. I hope I get it sooner than that. I'd like to make a couple of passes with it before the local track closes this year.

A FP RED has much more desirable power curve for road racing and can allow similar power gains to a 35r

Start adding up all things to support the 35r or any other turbo kit and compare it to the bolt-on FP Red. Add up the cost vs. power and you'll see why it's by far the best bang for your buck.

I just checked their site and they don't list it under the turbo section so I'm curious how you got it through them. Maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow.
