John B is "no one"? https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-s362-fmw.html




You cant argue with 25psi @4500rpm 1.00ar 2.0l, that's as fast as a 6266BB.


These are used a lot on OEM diesels so they will last forever(like a Holset).
Since they are mass produced the price is naturally lower.
Try to keep an open mind on new products.

 

bro i wont go with something that i never see this Borg Warner turbo until now after you mentioned so i am not going with that brand i am sticking with FP Red for now

 

Maybe my post came out wrong. I'm not talking apbad about those turbos at all, I'm familiar with them, and for $800 you're not hurting much. They are just not really used in the evo community so people tend to stick to what works and has been proven for our platform

 

I never heard about it.

 

Everyone is gonna have their own opinion on what to get. Its still your choice, if you didnt have the 600hp goal then I would of said yes on the red, I say go with a t3 set-up like a 6266 or at least a 3582. Whats going to happen is you will get the red...then build the bottom end, and that turbo is going to run out up top. So a small overworked turbo or big turbo that will love that built bottom end. But again its your call.

 

Some of you have never heard of a Borg Warner turbo before? I would have gotten one of those before an FP turbo. They are nicely made turbo. This proven stuff is hogwash you're spending 2499 on a turbo because of the name granted FP has good customer service. Why not try something different you're not building your block anyways so give it a shot you could love it!

 

I wouldn't buy a precision turbo. I would buy a Borg Warner before one aswell. I just like precision.

 

Im shooting for close to 550hp with my stock bottom end. I have a ETS t4 twinscroll 6266 kit. Buschur double pump 2150cc injectors. my head is built tho. It should be at the shop next weekend getting tuned I will post my results maybe it will help you out.

 

mate, borgwarner is most likely superior to the FP.

The FP don't even produce ball-bearing anymore… and do not have any twin-scroll options.

where some borgwarner have both.

i opened a thread before that people aren't really interested in…

Not that i am knocking the brand… i don't have a problem.

It just turns out:

everyone says "FP FTW" = its turns to Gospel….. and ends up as the; Bible for EVO owners.

 

ok keep me posted like to see what you get

 

My suggestion to you instead of asking for peoples opinion would be take a walk through the dyno forum's and read up there. There are plenty of cars there on stock block making power and it would behoove you to take a look at their dyno plot and see which turbo is going to come close to your goals and possibly leave room up top.

Do your due dillagance now before you pay for it later, that way your not going to be disaapointed with your results/broke *** car.

 

I second this. XXXhp is not the same across all platforms. Determine if the driving style you're going to be doing requires power in the low-mid range or if you need something in the middle or do you need a nice linear curve where you're making power the whole way through, etc. My turbo sucks at launch because of the lag and it doesn't really open up until about 4k rpm's. But then again it's nice on the street because I can cruise and easily stay out of boost and then if I merge onto the highway there's lots of meat up top to drive "spirited" as it were, so it suits me and my driving style.

 

Really? For one, they are an American company, so there's that. Secondly, they helped develop the technology behind the turbo in the 2007 Porsche 911 turbo. They are the turbo supplier for Peugeot, Ford, Renault, and Volkswagen.They are a Fortune 500 company which is a pretty big deal, etc etc. They may not have a big name so to speak in the performance auto world and aren't going to show up on lancershop.com or ETS or AMS, etc, but they are a quality company and not something to scoff at.
