is there more than one style of the fp red? i see some pics where the turbo does not look like it has an anti surge compressor housing and some where it looks like it has the housing. confused...

 

the older reds don't have the antisurge... I think it was about a year ago they changed the covers

 

Can anyone back that up?

 

yup, the updated RED has the anti surge housing, the "older style" had the normal housing. it's the same with the Green

 

lol, do you think I would lie to you or something?

 

lol

 

lie? no. mistaken? yes. lets be honest, not everyone on this forum who gives answers/advice actually know what their talking about. But i appreciate the response

 

You can't be trusted!!!!

 

he is correct lol

I do however want to know if the Upgraded OEM ones you send in get the antisurge

 

Yes, they do, my FPblack is my old stock turbo

 

any issues what so ever with your rebuilt/upgraded turbo? or would you just recommend buying a brand new one. I was looking into sending my stocker to fp for an upgrade to a red but not sure if there was any issues pertaining to that?

 

Mine works great...holding up to 38psi of abuse.

FP checks the stock turbo over and they can reject it if its not up to snuff. Mine didn't have too many miles on it so I wasn't too worried.

If you have a decent amount of miles on it, I'd probably just order a new one but if you are on a budget you can try the upgrade route...like I said FP will check it over.

 

How much does that route save you over buying it brand new?

Does CBRD offer the core exchange yet?

Anybody know what that adds to the lead time?

One of those deals, where I don't need any more paperweights.

Life would be much easier without choices...

 

i had a red with the 80mm inlet and it worked like a doll made good power to

 

i believe its $1100 to upgrade and then if you want the upgraded wastegate actuator and/or porting services, the price goes up
