Thanks Forced Performance!

Once again I am throwing a new set-up in the Evo and on this run I was able to get some help. So I just wanted to throw a shout out to the best stock frame turbo manufacturer out there for the Evo's. I can't wait to see what this Ball Bearing FP Black will do. Here are some progress photo's as the motor is being installed. Stay tuned more to come and will be posting video's later as well! Thanks again FP!

When everything is all together I would love to see a list part and a dyno sheet. Very clean and nice!

Thanks a lot buddy, I will be compiling a most recent build list and make sure to post up the dyno sheets as well! There are just a few more things I need to finish up and she should be running soon!

Thanks.. thats fantastic, it keeps things a little more simple and dare i say cheaper....
Yet the FP Black is such a power maker especially in BB. Alot of the Aussie guys run FP's but not black, not sure why. Maybe price still is a little high here.
Are these units good on 2lts or are they best used on strokers?
As for the build, I cant wait to see it at full noise and dyno sheet.
Love it and all the best with it.

Thanks buddy, and it would do great on a 2.0 as long as it was supported with the correct mods. The Ball Bearing is definitely a pricey upgrade but it will be worth it plus you can run it with the stock exhaust manifold and and 10.5 hotside

Thanks for the reply, I spoke to the workshop I use and asked about putting a black on, they said they gave it a go before but "They dont make all their power under bloody 30psi" I laughed and figured I will go with either the green or just maybe a red due to wanting the power early on as I drive it daily... But yeah a black would prolly cause a small kick in the earths rotation at full noise.
I will monitor this thread and once again hope the best with your project....

for a good all around turbo I would go with the FP Red. They come on quick and hold power. The green would be a fun turbo too if you are looking for low end power and not high peak power.
