FP Zero vs FP Black vs FP Red

Anyone running forced performance turbo if so which one is best in your opinion? I hear nothing but great comments for the fp zero, stock appearing, fast spool, capable of 700. Then again i hear the fp black spools fast hits full boost at 4k..Anyone running the zero, what number you putting up?

Build is for a street car, like fast spool, enjoy ripping around bends rather than straight line speed. What you guys suggest?

Forsure, stock turbo is mint no doubt but obviously not possible to run 400+ on it. Ive seen some numbers getting close to 400 on stock turbo but reliability issues i wouldn't push it that far.

I ran 400whp+ for 4 years on stock turbo, never babied.

If you insist on any of the above turbos go with the red for quickest spool.

The spool up vs power ratio is a personal preference for sure. Having owned an FP Red and ridding along in an HTA FP Green powered Evo, That's the power level and tolerable response I feel is best for an Evo.

Are there any an Evo meets in your area? If you can hitch a ride in a car with any of the turbos listed, that would be best and then maybe you can weigh your options a bit better.

FP Red, full boost in the 34-3500 range for myself. At 28 psi I'm at 549/505 (VD) on E85. Great fun for autocross with a 3080lb car.

Lmao bro there are no evo meets, let alone Evo IX's around here. Theres a few stock X's in my area but thats about it. I had to drive 6 hours to pick up, but would love to feel how they each pull. If you know any evo meets around Detroit, Michigan or Toronto, Ontario let me know, ill come out forsure.

I have the new style FP RED on my ix stock motor except head studs, full bolt ons, E85 and it made 484whp and 365 ft/lbs of torque at only 23 psi. A little more lag then stock but the power increase for a bolt on turbo not to mention FUN FACTOR is definitely worth it. In my opinion of course lol
