No. I am on a factory 2.0L. A red at 40psi peak boost on a 2.0L will have a slower shaft speed then a red at 40psi peak on a 2.4L. There is a larger displacement to pressurize so it will take a greater demand from the turbo to push the extra air needed to pressurize the extra room. Based on 9sec9's testing on the Red with shaft speed vs psi I was probably just at the maximum limit, if not slightly over.

The fact of the matter is neither of those turbos at 40 psi are going to last long.

Wouldn't someone at FP be able to answer this question your interested in? Since when is the word of 9sec9 scripture anyway? AWD didn't seem to be testing shaft speed on the BBK also as most performance shops are going for maximum performance most of the time. I'm sure if you bought this turbo on a 2.0 or 2.4l you wouldn't be worried about shaft speed @42psi by lookin at the accomplishments in your sig or how long it lasts at that amount of boost.
When shops try new things we all benefit as consumers because they push products beyond their intended boundaries of use, so that we don't bolt on a turbo, run 2 psi over the recommended limit and blow it up!!!

I just don't get why you are worried about shaft speed and longevity @42psi on the Black? You didn't seem worried when you ran 43.5psi on the RED and i'm almost certain whether it be a 2.0 or 2.4l it isn't healthy for that turbo anyway.

I hate to speculate what the Black will run but i can tell you our Goal is 9.4.. Its not often we fall short of our Goals.. It may not be on 1st time out but i am going to get this FP black to run 9.4's on Stock Ecu..
The Stock Ecu ET record is 9.9 & MPH 143.. Those are the 2 immediate Goals with this car.. Then we go for overall FP Black Record on Stock Ecu..
