FP Evo Flow Advancement Port Cover

I recently purchased a very low mileage old style FP green to use on my 8. I was wondering what would be the benefits, if any of upgrading the compressor cover to one of these offered by FP...

I was thinking that maybe performance would fall somewhere between a basic green and the HTA version. Any insight would be much appreciated.

 

Do they sell one for the old green?

 

I don't think you will see any gain due to the fact that it the HTA uses a different compressor wheel. An anti-surge housing is typically a small hit to power as well. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

Im not sure, but if there were any substantial gain to be had, Id def be interested for only $200.

 

There's threads on this already and the gains are worth the money IMO. I plan on using one when I install my old Green. Just do a search and read all about it

 

yeah but will it just be able to be slapped right on or will a "custom" one be made?

 

I searched and couldnt find anything, a link would be great!

 

Search the exact name of your thread on Google.

 

hey guys... i had an old skool green b4 and thought of doing the same thing... but this is what Fp told me: if u have an old skool green (which is 5 blade wheel) u cant use this cover (84mm), u can upgrade only if ur green is 64mm HTA (which is 7 blade i think)

 

Which one would fit an old FP green?

 

the 84mm cover wont fit the old skool green... it only fit the HTA green

 

$200 would be better spent elsewhere IMO, but FP would be able to tell you best.

 

I am not so sure that this statement is correct. I know for a fact that there is someone on these boards running the 84mm cover on a stock IX turbo. So, there should be an FP anti-surge cover for the O.S. Green. But maybe I have had a few brews too many.

This might possibly be advantageous on an O.S. Green if the person were to go to a speed density setup and run a straight through 4" intake from the air filter exit up to a reducer right before the compressor inlet.

 

FP actually sells a FAP for the stock Evo turbo.


Also, the OP could upgrade to the HTA 71 comp wheel which is what I will be doing eventually.

 

Are you saying that the HTA71 wheel will bolt onto the OS Green without any modification or it's upgraded through FP?
