What is the point of a stock appearing turbo that doesn't appear stock?? Is this just change for the sake of change? Where are your dyno numbers. Graphs. Why on earth would you post such incomplete info? I need a xanex and apparently a bbk now.

most likely easier to cast your own housing than sourcing housings from mitsubishi. I honestly dont see these selling well at all. very narrow market. its not a bolt on turbo anymore. its not twin scroll. its an expensive change for consumer. just dont see the win in this anywhere.

now you need to add the price of a external wg, and a new o2 housing? I agree about the easier to cast tge source from mitsu. But its not like they are cheaper now. It says "comes standard". Atleast give us a choice.

I think this is going to pretty much kill the FP Stock Frame series. There is no way I am the only person interested in a true stock appearing setup without any interest in an external wastegate. I just got the FP cast manifold for the future use of a Red or Black on a built motor, and I really don't want any CBRD product on my car nor do I want to run a JB MAP turbo.
seanjohn, the issue is that the manifold is designed to be a twin scroll and the new housings are single scroll.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited that FP has released 2 new products for our cars. My 03 is OLD in terms of product development. People lose interest and money for development goes to new cars. (FRS, X, GT-R). I understand some of the issues this may cause people that really want to run an internal gate, but this looks like a really nice product. I'm sure you can still pop this into a 10.5 housing and be good to go.
Pending dyno results, a Green may be in my future, now.

Data showing no hit to transient response would go a long way in supporting the lack of TS.
Those thinking these won't sell though seem to forget they did this on the dsm too and I'm pretty sure they sold well.
Tubular manifolds suck on a lot of aspects. This basically gets you a more reliable OS T3 setup.
I am disappointed to see it's not TS but removing the internal gate is 100% win. Internal gates suck.
