Uhmm... don't let the frustration get you. First, know exactly what you want, are you oriented ona fast spooling turbo or you don't mind laggy turbo. Are you prepared for high boost for your car?, it is pointless to buy a FP Red if you are not going to run high boost so whith that being said you must have stronger clutch, bigger intercooler, much larger injectors and willing to abuse your engine by running much higher boost levels, is that what you want?

Also, I can tell you have no patience, having to wait for 3-4 weeks for a FP Red is nothing, specially if you car already runs. I think the BBk is more for you, maybe the HTA Green.

^ What he said I remembered I went from the original FP Green, 3065, back to the Green, then the BR HTA 3076, then FP Red, then the BR HTA 35R, and finally settled on the Red. But with all those turbos I knew I had to change my cams, head studs, and injectors.

two different turbos for two different racers in mind. FP Red is a great 30-37psi meth/e85/or race gas setup. The BBK is geared more towards a road racer and pump gas primarly. THe Red is dominating the drag strip with 10secs in most cases. Also not that hard. I plan to go 550+ FP Red in the future
