An appointment for the optician should be in your near future.

FP is a bunch of bull****, i dont know why people are feeding into them...this is just another way for them to keep the prices on this over rated turbo skyhigh...with a huge supply from morons who are ****ing fan boys like half you they will keep production slow and demand high....buying a 35r and selling your old **** will barly cost you more than this turbo....use your brains if you can do that! W/a kit from buschur ets or ams you get everything ! no need to send off your intake mani or buy a o2 dump or deal w/any wait..its all right there...someone needs to talk to the owner of fp and request them to get thier **** together.. Dont get me wrong I 2 wanted a red but after no response from them to 3 emails I gave up. Now w/ turbos like the bbk and a couple other vendors working on fp redish turbos I think the game FP is playin will catch up to them.

Umm no. And the turbo you mentioned is far from "redish".

If I was a mod I would ban you right now. I'm not an FP fan boy either..I just think your post was uncalled for.

I think they are expensive for sure but not overrated by any means.

It's truly amazing where we've come over the last three years. FP is the only company who took their time, money, and engineering effort to provide a bolt-on solution that gives near stock spool and 550-600HP pontential, a combination that everyone dreamed of, and had to make a number of their own parts to be able to offer this turbo to the Evo community. CNC compressor wheels. Special cast turbine wheel and shaft. Full rebuild of internals. Machined housings. Now a complete upgraded compressor housing available nowhere else on the planet. People would have killed for this option, when it didn't exist.

Now that we have it, what's this guy's response? Schizophrenia. "It costs too much".... I wanted one, but they didn't respond to my three e-mails." Give me a break, already. If you think you can get a better performance combination for your money somewhere else, vote with your pocket book. The reason there's a line for Reds is that it's the best performance deal out there, bar none. If you think any company is holding back production of a hot item on purpose, you've never owned a business. I'm sure they'd like to have shipped every order already, because that's how a business makes money -- selling product, not by delaying sales to eager buyers...

I think FP should have a pre-sales test to weed out sales to dumb asses. You'd never qualify.
