Your right tge price hasn't went up. But last time i checked your external wg you offer with it is 265 dollars. Plus i need a new 02 housing. As for it working better i would have lead this with a results log and dyno and people wouldnt be so sketch. Also why wouldn't you just make this an option instead of just leaving us all with your way or the highway. In cali i cant have all that shinny bull**** under my hood.

So damned if you do damned if you don't. However once I can get all the logs organized we'll be posting them.

I think fp did right, and I'm a little upset with no td05 option.. Maybe I wi dream bigger than a 71 someday.
I'll eventually need a new turbo but options might change again by then.
I will be venting mine through the hood then haha..
Please comment on the website confusion.

I think I have all the data from Mikey's car. Not the same but similar enough it might be of general use to settle the natives. I try not to toss data that might one day be of use....or is crazy off the chart (748whp) anyway. Pretty sure it was more or less like a 35R between shifts though from what I recall. Shift like Grandma and its lazy, but Ninja Shift it and its good.

We'll release our logs/data as soon, however that's a double edge sword. Most people will claim it's biased or something else is going on and will still wait till someone does a 3rd party test.

Does track record count for anything? Every product we've ever launched has done exactly what we said it would do and in most cases goes above and beyond. We don't make claims we can't back up, it would be counter productive and we wouldn't be in business.

Unless this is the only housing available, then I'm pretty much against a wall and will pull a rabbit out of my hat to meet deadlines.

I understand the benefits of this setup and that it creates the ultimate stock frame setup with little to no boost creep with an already great turbo. But my personal problem is that it's no longer a easy bolt up affair. With all the extra stuff needed it defeats the ease of install. It would be nice if fp still offered at least the option of using the stock housing on an exchange basis at the very least for those of us that would like a great turbo but the ease of install of a straight swap. But still have the new housing for those that don't mind spending a few extra dollars and work for the ultimate setup. But with that said good luck to fp and keep up the good work developing great products for our cars.

I am sure there will be plenty of current FP Black owners who would swap housings with anyone who doesn't like the new one. They might even pay a little bit as long as it is less than a new one from FP. Geez people are getting their panties in a bunch over nothing.

I really really want to be able to run an hta green with this housing, i have a 2.4, the external gate and better flowing turbine housing would be the ticket to winning. Please tell me they are going to work with the hta green...

Michael will the FP Green be switching over to this new hosuing as well?! Just confused based off the info on the website. The FP Green 73 HTA and DBB FP Green product pages show the new housing but on the SS housing product page it says it can't be used with a 65mm. Is the FP Green switching over or staying the same?!
