Great thinking! buy something you know NOTHING about. Would if it makes 500whp instantly when you install it but it gets 0 boost till 7,000 rpms, then do you want it?? Would if its a weaker tiny turbo for scared people and it cost 1000000, still want it then??

It wouldn't suprise me if they continue to try and improve things, just as they have been... CBRD is doing the same thing building a bigger version of the BBK.... the more research/development/trial and error the better products become available, just like the white rabbit, then green, then BBK & Red, now the HTA green and soon larger BBK... whats interesting is that FP switched to a different and larger external housing (than stock) so maybe they are working on wheels to better suit that new housing... or working on an even larger housing but still bolt-on... seems to make sense to go in that direction anyway. From a cost standpoint its much more affordable to go stock-replacement size turbo for big power, port stock intake/exhaust mani, and it makes it easier to upgrade parts slowly over time than forking out money for a big kit all at once- just need the right supporting mods and a tune instead.

Is this a rumor? Is there any hard evidence that this is in production? If so do you guys know(estimate) when it will be introduced to the public? Im really interested because I was thinking of purchasing a FP Red but if this is REALLY in the works I would like to learn more about it before I make my decision.

The car with 150 lb driver weighed 2850 lbs. We weighed it without the driver a day or so before and if I recall correctly it was 2700 or very very close to that. We've never cut anything out of the car, but simple bolt/unbolt stuff. With the full cage and safety equipment, I'm not sure where we stand now. Thanks for the compliment.
