It's crazy the FP Red can spool exactly like the OEM car, but make an additional 200+ whp.

The turbo sounds like what the car needed. Nothing wrong with full boost at mid apex!

Thanks man! The full boost at mid apex line is spot on, gotta love it!

The car new spools exactly like stock.

Ivan,

What parts would you suggest with the fp red turbo? I have mostly everything in my sig.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'd say the minimum you'd want is some bigger injectors and a fuel pump. You have some basic bolt-ons, and with more fuel you'd have a nice base to work with.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Im sure cams would be a nice help, but I don't know for sure yet. I'll have some soon. They aren't necessary though.

I'll probably wait to see some results concerning the cams. I'm going to buy real soon. Thanks for the info.

I've decided on the fpred for spool up and bolt on properties.

Yes, on 200 treadwear street tires (Nitto NT-05's).

I'd compare them to a 255 Neova width wise, which was a little disappointing, I had them mounted on my 10.5's and they were really stretched. As far as NT-05 vs Neova...I think they are very close, with the Neova being more of a single lap tire, whereas the NT-05 is more predictable lap after lap.

Wow! I can't believe that I missed this thread.

I was thinking about getting the FPred as a Christmas presant for my car. What size fuel injectors did you use, did you also get the upgraded fuel rail? What about the fuel pump? I have not seen one for the X yet. Dose the turbo come with a kit so that you have everything to bolt it on? (gaskets ect..)

Last but not least, I will be in Hopkins/ Mound area later this month, any chance for a ride along?

Sorry for all the questions. I had the 20G-LT/GREEN on my IX and I miss the power.

The turbo comes with everything you need

I leave MN with the car on the 18th, but if you're here before then we could make something work. Let me know. And with the FP Red....you won't be dissapointed!
