Look before anyone gets it twisted I have sent plenty of turbos to FP to get modded over the last 15 years and so far waiting for this turbo has been the worst. I'm super happy that FP has come up with a sick *** turbo in stock format that produces crazy power but this turn around time is crazy. Happy waiting!

Man history repeats itself. I believe I remember the EXACT same type of thread with the FPgreen.
Man, I called today without any clue how long the wait was. They told me 4-6 weeks.
I laughed, said thanks anyway and decided I'll just build a GT3582R setup after the summer when things calm down and are easy to get.
I'm thinking it was a good choice. Had they been able to guarantee 1-2 weeks, I would have bought one on the spot.

Mine took about 5 weeks. Here it the trick. I called them and asked if they could possibly send it as soon as possible cause I was racing in a couple of weeks. They told me they would do the best. But then this person told me about this trick that would speed things up. He said. Don't ask for a ported Red, just ask for the normal, it takes much less time to build. So I did and in a very short noticed I got a notice from Fed Ex that my turbo was being delivered. So try asking if not porting the turbo will make a difference in delivery time. Hope this helps
WOW my story is he opposite of most of you guys. I tried to get a bbk full from crbd and he never replied to my emails so i said screw it. Man i feel sorry for some of you guys lol i ordered my fp red from my boy on dec 24. i did not even pay close to retail cost and i got it in 4 days and its brand new fp turbo not that rebuilt crap. lol i just talked to him he said he can get reds in about 3 weeks if your intrested. I am glad mellon told me last year i better get one so i was like well if i come across one ill pick it up i did and i did not have to wait 13 weeks. So those of you waiting just hang tight it sucks now but when you finally get your hands on one you will drool and realize why you waited so long. I have not even installed mine and im happy i have a turbo upgrade at least on wait till i finish the exterior which will not be to far off.
