Out of 69 people? lol, hardly a fraction of the evo community even polled. I forgot polls are a bit swayed in Florida...

Let's try and keep this a bit more honest and realistic shall we?

This goes back to my statement above. How about you let it run it's course before saying a very small fraction of the evo community is the final outcome.

It might not be swayed but it is flawed in my opinion. There is no prerequisite that you have to prove you even own the turbo you are voting on. The internet is serious business.

I'm just trying to be fair and honest here...

First off all statistics are flawed which is why I'm not a fan. You poll everyone here what kinda car you drive that doesn't represent how many households in the country have Evos. Or if you ask everyone at a gay club what their sexual orientation is doesn't mean 100% of the US is gay.

But since this is an Evo community the % will ring more true that being said the more people polled the more accurate it will be but that doesn't mean that there is no validity in the poll.

Also polling people what their preferred color is doesn't mean red is the best color ever but it does mean that it is the preferred color for your work place assuming 12 represents the majority of the people you work with.

And I think it is pretty easy to see just from sigs alone the FP is the preferred stock frame turbo manufacturer for the Evo. Not to mention they do support other markets so to assume they are busy is a pretty fair statement.

Anyone have any updates on their situations...FP told me on Tuesday they were planning on having some turbos done the week after thanksgiving. Im wondering if this means there is going to be another long wait till they get the next batch of parts for the rest of the people on the wait list or if they are getting enough material to finish up everyone in this round.

Are you even waiting on a turbo or are you here jumping on the bandwagon of cry babies?

Right when you ordered things started to backorder.. Glad we could atleast get you into a turbo with 6262..

Well its to bad but at least mike took care of you, I was told 3 weeks direct from FP then brian emailed and said that they got backoredered due to turbine and compressor wheels not conning in and its been almost 2 months for me but I want the BEST stock frame turbo so I will wait for it. Its like I was always told good things come to those who wait.
