How long have you had your FP RED?

Just like the title says I'm just trying to find out the reliabilty of this turbo. Also let me know if you had it rebuilt.

34PSI and only 126MPH? Should be in the 130's+

You can get that Trap on pump with a Red, Straight 93. Maybe poor shifting and a 6-speed? That would do it.

Yeah but an 11.1 is a great time, faster the ET lower the Trap speed as well. If he gets into the 10's I bet he is right on the money. Man a 11.1 is fast for a street car.

Now to wait for TRE to get that MR Final Drive option added.

I ran an 11.1@130mph. It had a 10 in it.

I've had two reds. 64mm and the 80mm... 64mm was on for about 6k miles and the 80mm was on for about 2-3k

No rebuilds... no problems.

A lot more goes into a build than just a turbo and boost pressure. Jim has a fairly basic setup with a Red on it. For his few mods though he is making great power!

I had the stock housing Red on for about 6k miles. Zero shaft play when we pulled it off. Now Kasey@MAP has it, so it's in good hands.
