I think some are doing the move from the Blacks to the new HKS GTII 7460r.

power is addictive, the black is awesome but after awhile, people just want more power, if the turbo u own is capable of lets say 600hp and your in the mid 500hp range then whoops its time to sell and get a turbo capable of 800hp, i love my black but am doing research on precision 6262, see what i mean

I love the Black man. Its a great turbo. I drive it on the street and at the track and the car has gone 9.7s-9.8 consistently. The lag is not bad at all, dont know why some people thing it is. Its a awesome all around turbo Im selling my in the next week or 2 if you are interested, im going to a Front facing kit.

this is a perfect example of why people are selling the black. Either they want more power to make a lower time or they are changing directions with the car. Example mine has a black now I have never driven it yet but someday LOL but if i get a chance to autox and do some serious road coursing I would change my turbo to a HKS one or HTA green to increase my spool even more and get into the power. 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.
