If you don't want to put up comparisons then just put up what the HTA green did and leave the BBK out of it. An informed buyer is a smart buyer and I refuse to buy something and hope for the best. i want to know what I'm getting before I put down my money. Call me crazy but i don't think I'm asking for too much. If you want my business I have to know what the product can do. I'm sure there are a lot of people that feel the same way as me.

+1000000 you have a valid point. i to like to know what i'm buying/getting into before commiting

there is a thread here about power outputs on the BBK turbos (lite and full) on members rides with different builds.

This is in the works. Somebody made a post stating their gonna do back to back tests on 1/4 mile runs and I think dyno graphs of each turbo. He stated he is not affiliated with either company and all tests will be done same day and same driver to keep them equal. He is waiting to recieve the new HTA green which should take up to 5 weeks. Does anybody have that link?

Absolutley. It matters 100% how long the product takes to get to the buyer. Granted, some people may not care, others have chosen certain setups due to the delivery time. Had FP had the same, who knows. Personally, if im dropping a good amount of money for a new turbo, chances are there is a reason im doing it, and im not into waiting 2 months to have the problem fixed/ changes made to my setup.

if its your daily drive what are you going to do for the 2 months your turbo is down.. slap a stock turbo on and retune? Reliability is the most important part but so is customer service...

I am driving my other car while waiting for the FP turbo to show up. I think FP will suprise a lot of customers with a shorter wait time for delivery on the Green HTA. I am hoping to get this done in some form before the track here closes for the season. I will keep this updated.

Look at what David Buschur does and the criticism he has to go through when he does a thorough test. Everyone comes in and says he is biased and what not. His results speak for themselves. Most companies don't like to be part of the BS as Groc says. I wouldn't because there is someone that will always question your results, especially when you make the parts that you are testing.

I made my choice of parts based on the company and result that they come up with. I chose a fp red, BR and AWD because they put themselves on the front row and let people question them even though their products speak for themselves.
