FP Red Owners

How many of you actually have the new oil feed line from FP? if you don't have it what boost are you running and how long have you been running it?

FP makes the decisions about what they will honor for warranty, and they have records of what you bought for oil lines...

However, the issue for me is that it's better to keep the turbo properly oiled than argue about warranties Feeding from then head (whatever line you use) does not guarantee the oil pressure that feeding from the filter does. So just buy the proper hose the first time (the NEW FEED FROM THE FILTER line kit) and save yourself the grief...

I bought the Red the moment it came out. I ran the stock line at 30psi. When the anouncement was made that you had to switch to the ss line from the head I bought that and have not yet changed over to the newest line, though I plan while the trade in is still available. I installed my turbo in late July and made my first drag passes with it on Aug. 3. It has been very reliable. I have not taken it on a road course though.

I bought it soon as i heard about the issues say about 3 weeks of driving it.

I paid a ton of money for the turbo a oil feed line was nothing but cheap insurance imho. I run anywhere from 28psi ro 30psi of boost, daily driven of course.

I have ran the upgraded oil feed line w/ inline filter since day 1 of installing my FP Red turbo. I run 38psi daily with no issues. After 5k miles I changed the inline filter insert out and there was little to nothing caught in the filter

Unrelated my FP 18psi wastegate diaphragm took a crap this past week. Hits 38-39psi on wastegate pressure now. Time for a new one.
