yes they convert to blacks its like 999 something like that. if you dont want to wait the required time i would say buy it new like most of us did and you will have it sell your 9 turbo and pick it up i waited all of one day shipping to get mine. if you chose to go the conversion route please dont complain as you chose to do that fp has to wait on parts just like any other company and new turbos are easy to handle and rebuild then used ones they never know what conditions your turbo is in actually until it arrives. When in doubt you can call FP and ask

From Red to Black is $750... You're right, it's not on the FP website. I had to e-mail and ask.

They also told me they have to ship it out to have the CNC done to it. As much money they make their they should really invest in a CNC machine. But from what I hear that machine cost like a million dollars or something.

Any info would be helpful I have been with out my car for a while and miss it.
Blouch does all their own machining in house. Except the actual compressor wheel itself. I believe that would require a CNC with more axis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1AyHgMDxNA. not trying to steel thunder just a cool vid for anyone who hasn't seen how essentially all these stock appearing turbos come together.
