Fp called me on Tuesday and said that I will have mine next week as well. Sucks that I already put the car away for the winter though: /

Fyi there has been a price change on the fp website and if you call them and ask for an adjustment youll save fifty bucks. Cheers!

Just called to check in, and they said they have been working on processing orders now. They are almost caught up with everyone's order that has been on hold for two or three months, and that I'm one of the newest orders and I'm 2nd to go on the list. They said they are waiting on more parts to be delivered which should be there any day, and I should have my turbo by late next week.

I sent my JB green in for warranty almost 2 months ago. I decided to upgrade to the black BB and have been calling them every week for the last 4 weeks. Every time I talk to them they tell me the same thing " we are waiting on parts and your turbo should be shipped next week". It's BS! I hope someone from FP sees this form and decides to do something about it!!! I'm really close to going else where for my turbo

Who says supply chain challenges can't be fun and exciting? Happiness flows when the turbos go.

Hi guys!!

There's really no good way to explain the complexities of being a manufacturer without going into a VERY long explanation. We try our best to keep up with demand and this year we've been filling every order within 2 weeks of being placed on the EVO 9 BB line up. However due to some unexpected demand that we couldn't forecast along with some supply chain issues we've been trending a little longer. I just received parts enough to do 16 units and now the oldest PO's are a couple weeks old and more parts should be arriving soon and another batch being made.

So that being said the quickest way to get a BB EVO 9 turbo is to order one. If there's not a PO in the system when I forecast my need it's a good chance that I'll have my extra turbos sold before I have them finished.

-Michael
