How long did you wait to get an FP turbo

Im curious how long its been taking FP customers to recieve their STOCK FRAME turbos either new or rebuilt. I have had several friends complain of ridiculous wait times most of them being several months. And none of them actualy being given an actual ship/completion date even when they have paid in full for their product.

I personaly always had great customer service from FP from cams to the OG green but the wait times are pretty long. Care to share your thoughts?

I'm hoping you could chime in ill post up a poll so everyone can click

I just ordered the new FP Black DBB last week so I'll post back when i receive it. I ordered mine through SpecOps Motorsports so not sure if that will make a difference.

My 3794 had to be built and I received it a week and a half after it was ordered. No issues with FP ever.

It was around Aug/Sept 2011. This was for a JB fp black right before they announced the BB's. Which came out about a week after I got my fp.

The FP Red I have was ordered 27DEC2010 and was delivered 20MAR2011. Just late enough that I had to run the stock turbo at TX2k11.

Ordered through AWD, not that it makes a difference as it was dropshipped from FP anyway. Amusingly the day I was at AWD to get my car retuned for E85 Mike got the confirmation that it had shipped from FP.

Edit: It was a new turbo, not a rebuild of a stocker.

You get what you pay for. Well worth the wait. Don't want to buy a boat anchor from somewhere else.

Apparantly some people dont, well at least for several months.
Its not looking good for you the car may not be done in time for Proving grounds unless you slap a stock turbo on there, you will have to bring that sweet Escalade up instead

The Escalade would sure be comfortable flying around the track.

I asked Another local guy that doesnt frequent the forum here, and he waited just over 4 Months to get his Black.

And i think Alex waited between 2-3 months for his.
