Im sorry if I came off the wrong way.

All I was saying was that IF FP doesnt have one, not many people are since there the only people that make them as there needed. Not 1000 at a time and have them sitting around.

Lots of large multi-million dollar companies are owned by one person. I doubt you have much information about FP's manufacturing processes or its "overhead". There are many reasons that production delays happen.

I do agree with your observation that people order something and want it yesterday...

Gday Chris,

I'm not sure if you would want a slightly used Red, save some money & have it now,as there's one in the for sale section- https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...78-fp-red.html.

Shacochis06 has it back up for sale, he has also done a write up IIRC.

Good luck mate.

Cheers Steve

yea just talked to the vendor i got mine from and he said they are in the same boat. they are not ordering anymore fp reds without orders being placed so they know they are sold. he said the economy in flordia is bad. so i figure that must mean people are placeing orders it comes in and they dont have the funds. Probaly like most vendors if its not already sold they are not gonna order. I guess the wait is on if you want one either buy it from somebody that already has one and is willing to sell whether new or used. Or wait in line like the rest. Good things come to those who wait haaaa hang in there you will pick one up like i did.

Wow Steve hooked you up with an FP....Jump....Although I think the BBK Full looks like a better turbo for the Evo (IMHO)...

lol the bbk full is not comparable to the fp red so stop that conversation before it even starts cij911. i dont want to hear another war on pump gas double pumper etc. these turbo are both ment for differenet setups. ask him what he is going for first. yea im pretty sure the OP wants a red not a bkk full. if he did he would own one already

the Red is by far the best turbo....it does it all street/strip/track....and it drives like stock i still cant stay out of boost when im driving


cij911 who does the full look better than a Red?
