That car that trapped 160 is LIGHT too. That really helps a ton. The Zero is pretty absurd.....looks like the power falls in an hta86's upper range....might be a similarly sized wheel.

Yeah that's what I thought too - though 154mph is still a little crazy for a bolt on turbo, to be fair!

Agree ^ it's deff t3 spool territory. 154mph is still insane for a stock frame turbo and yes weight is a big factor in his case.

FP turbo - If you order one, you'll be lucky to have it delivered before the end of the 2014 racing season.

Yeah I kind of wonder if it will be bottle neck? or if it uses an 11.5 hotside ?

seems like a 2.3 or 2.4 along with gsc s2r could make a very good set up.

^^Yeah it may take long to get but how many times have you sent the map turbo back to them to have it rebuilt?

It may be laggy (which is really just an opinion) but there isn't a turbo that makes 750 and spools as quickly as stock. There is always a compromise.

So you expect an 800whp capable turbo to spool like stock? It's probably not much laggier than an ef4 and packs a serious punch. A lot of people are going to have fun with this turbo, the ones that live in reality, accept the laws of physics, and those who are looking for one of the baddest turbos out there.

FP mentioned before in another thread that it uses a proprietary stainless housing. Not something previously available I would assume.

So it's basically the only FP Zero in the world correct? Because I can't seem to find it on their website so I assumed it was never released to the public
