FP Stainless Housing
You had the stock frame department cornered. Now you think u can compete with pte bw and garret. You expect me to change all that out for 40 hp? Not to mention thats on a 550+ hp car. Clearly its a restriction. But not enough for buschur or cb to have any problems. The fact is its not a stock frame turbo anymore. So cbrd and all other stock frame turbo companies are toasting to you for all there new orders.
Im sure its better. But its sure as hell not easier.
So wht dont you just offer it as an option. I have not heard cbrd or any other companies speaking of a shortage of hotsides. I have three at my house. ****s not rare. My guess is mitsubishi us sueing fp or some ****. Cause this is sudden. And dumb. Say you planned it all u want. But you said yourself fat house is only "close" with the dp. Who releases a product hefore anyone can even use it.

Unfortunately MHI (mitsu heavy industries) has raised our pricing on our turbochargers approximately $300.00- and we therefor had to raise pricing on the turbos- we are able to absorb a little of the increase- but unfortunately not all of it!
MAP and Kinugawa use Chinese housings not geniuine MHI housings. CBRD is ordering a complete EVO 9 turbocharger and scavenging the turbine housing off of it that's why it's $200 more than our $1695 Green model and their BB turbos are $100 more and don't include an oil line.
We're kicking around the idea of doing the same thing ordering a stock EVO 9 turbo and scavenging the turbine housing but the price will go up substantially over what it is now.
We knew full well going into this that some people would be turned off by it, and that's ok. This is for people who want the absolute best who are tired of sacrificing power at the hands of a stock frame housing but who don't want to spend $1500+ on a hot parts kits to go T3 and worry about if their manifold is going to crack in a few months.
We've done this time and time again, brought out a new product and had to listen to people like yourself tell us how we were going to go out of business. Despite the nay sayers we're still here, and we're still selling more turbos, why because we don't do anything we don't 100% believe is better and can prove it's better through real world use.

Add a new section on your site to include a full install kit. Manifold, WG, turbo, intake, DP, hardware, etc...
I like the idea of the EWG and the dyno sheet proves it works.
When is this Zero or Zephyr going to be released? Or is it a myth?
As always, great products and quality. I am very pleased with my Black and the power it produces.

Price never stopped me from buying from FP. I bought a Green, two later a Black, and now I'm eye balling this and the new DP. Just the nature of the hobby. You must pay, to play, or you have a half a**, rigged, ride. Quality comes at a price.
Thanks for still producing parts for our cars regardless of the haters.
Just ordered the SS housing! To pair up with my BB FP Black and FP cast exhaust manifold I will be purchasing the downpipe next week... cant wait to see what it does on my JMS 2.3!
