FP Red

For any one who has one or whom has had one are they good bang for the buck?

chaotichoax is coming for you...

They're alright on pump but they really shine on race gas and higher boost.

i love my fp red!! i mean its definitely worth the 1800 but i wouldnt say that is a cheap way to make huge power. if you are looking for bang for the buck then go with cams or meth!

They're good for the money, if you want to remain stock-frame and stock-appearing. I like big turbo kits.

I love mine! I bought mine for alot cheaper then $1800 though, mine came off a wrecked car with 200 miles on it and I picked it up for $1,000 with a stainless 02 housing and tubular manifold and all stainless lines.. You can find good deals on here but goodluck! You will be satisfied with a Red

well stay away from the red if u dont want to make mad power .. and have lots of torque

the red is a bit laggy , specially if ur not tuned .... its a nice turbo , it holds boost great up top , on my evo , with all the supporting mods its such a fun car to drive , ull love it

when i switched my 8 turbo to a red first tune I had just almost 400whp, she felt a little laggy in the first day or two. I can now swear the boost comes before the 8.
you will fell like superman on the streets.
dont forget supporting mods
