The Red is solid 9 second potential. If the car is only running in the 10's or low 11's, there's no sense in changing to something bigger. The FP-RED is an incredible turbo with ton's of power. I'm sure, like every parts manufacturer, that something is ALWAYS on the drawing board. The question is, when and if it will ever come out.

how you going to call me a liar? I got one right here!

I submit picture for proof!



Its a little laggy down low to help with gas mileage - but when the slipper clutch in it is fully engaged this ***** screams like a fighter jet. Producing almost instant boost in all gears at all RPM's. But only if you dont slip the clutch to much to burn it out. The viscus material in the slipper clutch is non rebuildable and requires a totally new unit.

that FP RAINBOW IS MAD TIGHT YO!!! I just have the FP uranium. It flows 1726383638 lbs/min and gets full spool at 200rpm. The boost tapers down to 3 psi by 400 rpms though. The powerband is smooth and you have to run 100% nitro-methane. Its perfect for reverse parking spot racing.

I don't think its a joke, evo bretheren. I believe it, because it's a function of evolution, no pun intended. There is more than one company(FP) conducting excessive amounts of engineering and development on the stock appearing, bolt-on type turbo's. It's obviously in the "demand", so its only logical that companies are determined to bring out the next best one. Just as it was said in an earlier post on this thread, the stages were very specific and instrumental for the next stage in stock turbo. "White"=>"Green"=>"Red"... and then the HTA Green had its collection of enthusiasts for a particular part of the market, so why not an "HTA" type of "Red" or .... "Black". I sincerely feel the "Red" has yet to reach its potential. In fact, my build that is going on right now, has been meticulously engineered to harness the "Red" as it currently sits. Anyway, I hope these rumors are released as facts and we see the next best thing. The most bang for the buck seems to be the market, so why not pursue that market.... Just my $.02
