I've been running my FP Red since last year on 25psi daily with no problems on the stock line but only because my fittings around the filter housing and at the head leaked like a ****. Anyway I got frustrated with it and put the stocker back on. I have since talked to Robert at FP and he apologized for my inconvienence and hooked me up by only charging me $50 for a whole brand new upgraded kit so now I have some extra lines and stuff. I haven't installed it yet since I just got it and my car has been sitting on a lift for 3wks awaiting a new Shep TC

 

Got mine early as well. Once some people started really pushing the upper limits there were a few that seized from the lack of oil pressure at the head. I dont think you will have any problems at all under 28 PSI, but if your warranty is still good then its best to upgrade the line.

 

I installed with a stock line, then when the braided line came out I got that, and then when the oil filter housing line came out I switched to that. I'm tired of monkeying with the oil feed line but I would never take chances on something this cheap. The second upgrade was only $30.

 

I upgraded once to the old ss line. That one is still covered under warranty. I plan to change over soon. I actually know one of the people who had a problem with their red. I have had no issues so far I am happy to say.

 

I recently had my Red installed with the new oil housing line...

I'll be tracking my car at the next Redline Time Attack event on my low boost tune of 23psi this weekend (problems with my stock BOV and wastegate will not allow me to run my race gas tune)...

With nobody truly running their Red as a "road course" turbo we'll see how it holds up over this weekend...

fingers crossed...

 

What about nils?

 

I just installed my fp line and went to the track the last week, everything is perfect, but I cant boost more than 26 psi with my metal oem BOV, I will try to boost more changing it with a forge one, what BOV do u guys use to boost 30 psi?

 

Have it - use it. Love it.

Works like its supposed to.

 

I got the red and the upgraded lines all at once better to be safe then sorry, i think it is kind of silly that fp doesnt require you to buy the line kit when buying a red.

 

Its another way to make $... Bring out a turbo and then months later say "u must run this high $ line or i wont warrenty ur turbo anymore"

 

Naa, whats to say you bought it from someone else, or received it as a gift. They should not have to use that as a decision maker or breaker. They should have techs look at the turbo, diagnose the problem, and then come to a hypothesis for the malfunction.

Its totally their discretion on warranty.


I would purchase it, just for the piece of mind knowing if something did go wrong, its one less reason to not get the turbo covered under warranty.

 

im on the stock line now but am ordering the new line asap. im running 26psi but go very easy on my car. is it hard to install the new line? on Forced performance's website they say you have to torch the line near the oil filter housing.

 

Nils is the only one that I know of that has tracked his red the longest without any failure...
