Anyone else Waiting for a FP Black ?

Love the wait game. A local shop is currently stroking my 06 Evo 9 MR to a 2.3, probably be done in 2 weeks. We put a order in at MaPerformance for a FP Black approx 4 weeks ago. Guess they are on back order again.

Anyone else waiting on a New FP black ? I'm approx 4 weeks in, hope it comes in 2-3 weeks more.

Anyone have any idea's on average wait time or how long did yours take if/when it was on back order ?

We're very sorry for the delays guys, we will do our best to communicate with you everything we hear from FP but it sounds like there is a delay on the manufacturing side

It's understandable out of your control/hands. All the other stuff my shop ordered from you guys, we had right away. The only missing link is the Turbo, so I might end having to find a used evo 9 turbo and use that to break the engine in until the black comes to you guys.

Your guys O2/DP/Wastegate all in one we got looked really good/fabrication/quality.. etc .

I wonder if the delay on the manufacturing side is because they are altering the bearing set up.

FP makes good turbos, not good business decisions. They lost my business and that of my friends due to their inability to control their suppliers' time-frames and obligations. FAIL
