Anyone else Waiting for a FP Black ?
This is BS. If FP is in the business of selling turbos, they should at least have an adequate amount of turbos to sell. What your saying is completly ignorant. Its like saying McDonalds should not keep stocked on fries in fear that consumers may all of a sudden only go to Wendys by the end of the week..not going to happen and its not going to happen to FP ...fact is there are only a few stock frame turbo options, FP being a popular one there is no way " they are going to be stuck with X amount of turbos" because the market is going to drastically change so fast that no one is going to buy a Black again... FAIL

^Im kinda with ya there. Let revisit the McDonalds thing. Have you ever been in a drive thru and it becomes such a long wait that you wish you had a big azz 4x4 to jump the curb and go somewhere else? The true fact of the matter is that FP is one of the few that make a stock frame turbo upgrade and they know they will sell turbos no matter what but there will be plenty of folks who "jump the curb" and get in line somewhere else. Me personally.....I think it's bull unless they tell you upfront that you are gonna wait forever and a day for your turbo. Bbk is starting to look pretty good right now! FP.....Get with the times. You are losing customers.
Huge List.... You guys want a $2770 journal bearing turbo kit? (FP Black is Journal Bearing) I can put something together 
Equal Length Manifold, Downpipe, Wastegate, Lower Pipe, Oil Lines, Etc...
It's not much more then an FP Black! We could do a Journal Bearing 5857, 6157 or 6262 We could do a ball bearing kit for another $500.00
Just a thought... Tis the season!

This will be a lot more pricey by far then going the FP route, where all your paying for is the turbo and oil lines basically..so in the end we would be buying another crappy journal bearing turbo that requires us to spend more money because we need a new mani,dp,wg, intake and lower ic pipe..this will cost a lot more money then what it takes to run a black. This price is not competitive at all to the previous. I really like ETS and they have great prices on a lot of items but this is insane. It was a nice gesture though.
