No time at Buttonwillow, suspension issues, and mistakes by me.

Get a X, you will NOT be disappointed.

Hi I'm Kevin. I'm currently building my EVO X and I've got the FP red in my car currently. I've done extensive work to the car including cams, injectors, fuel rail, FMIC etc. My car is not a race car. I drive my car to work and so on 3-4 times a week and I just like to have fun with it.

My question to you is would you prefer the FP red over the new Agency Power GT35R turbo kit?

What can you share some sort of objective comparison between the two turbos?


Thanks Ryan...

Hey Kevin,

I don't have any experience with the AP 35R Kit, but with any larger turbo it will be quite laggy. Peak power, a 35R will beat the FP Red no question, but the best part about the FP Red is the whole powerband. It makes great torque number in the mid-range, something you'll be without on a larger turbo setup, and still makes great power up top. For a street car looking to have fun, I'd go for the FP Red. It's much more usable on a daily basis.
