Ummm if your car is over heating in rush hour traffic it isn't your turbos fault. Your gonan have to decide how much top end you want and how soon you want the turbo to spool and then pick the the trubo that is the best compromise.

hmmm going to be tough for me then. I want a smooth car, with not to aggressive clutch but I want to be killer off a roll and stop. So I think the fp black should be good.

Stroke it to a 2.3/2.4 then throw on a black or red. Cant go wrong with the spool and youll still be able to make good numbers up top.

Gather up all of your money that you are willing to spend and call a reputable shop such as Buschur, AMS, STM, AWD, MAP, Reese Tuning, etc. Give them a dollar amount that you are comfortable with and let them tell you your options. That easy.

Hell i owned a brand new FP red never used it planned on it and sold it when the black launched just because it was something new. Some people are like me. Want the latest and the greatest for sure.
and then some people are like me, we are the bottom feeders and we wait for people like you to get tired of their stuff when something new comes out, then we get the second hand stuff and the circle of car mods life continues.

although I have my LIMITS, im not real fancy on buying used dampers/shocks. no matter how new people say they are.
