Good grief fp green/red!!!!!

Y cant i find anybody that has a FP Green or Red to give me some feedback on which is better for my purposes!!!!????

I want a quick spool like factory...That tells me to get the Green however obviously I want more pwr and that tells me to get the Red...OK wait wait...I dont care for top speed!!!!I like to just accelerate away from most...If I can get about 450hp to the wheels and a high/safe amount of torque that all good...any suggestions???

All those turbos will meet your goal and are more than capable of 400+ on pump, 450+ on E85.

Go Green on e85. Maybe look at ported manifolds & cams for a little extra up top

Go red. With a proper tune it will spool as fast as a green and makes more power. The green will leave you with a feeling of wanting more, the red will keep you happy. The red performed flawlessly and won it's class at the Shootout this weekend doing both drag and autox... it is by far the best stock frame turbo on the market without any drawbacks.

I am finishing up my FP Red tune on a 2.4LR with both 91-octane and E85 pretty soon.

If you want fast spool and amazing acceleration go E85 and an FP GREEN you'll be satisfied for a LONGGG TIME

You see...This is EXACTLY what the problem is...On most other upgrades Ive already done choosing the parts were easy!!!!!Turbos is sooooooooo difficult...Look at how many ppl r saying go Green with E85...or Red with porting and manifold!!!!I dont know what to do...

I wish I could get into an X that has both so I can get a feel out of it...Im really looking on the side of the Green becuz of the talks of quick spool up but it doesnt hold as much pwr as the Red...Not that that much pwr is important to me but if I can have that pwr of the Red but the quickness of the Green that would b gr8!!!!I stuck!!!!

Everytime I feel strong about the Red somebody makes me think twice with the Green...Im not even sure about goin E85...can the X do both E85 and 93 at the same time???I dont even kno of any close stations that sell E85...

And lets not 4get I dont wanna turn my X into a str8 up race car!!!!I just want a safe car that can still beat most on the road with stupid huge engines like the ZL1 or other Domestics...I have yet to roll up on a GTR but I wanna surprose them to...I appreciate all the tips and plzzz continue to offer them as I try to decide what I wanna get...I think the part that bothers me the most is that they r all the same price...So picking the 1for my purposes make the decision even harder...

Get Green upgrade! This will almost have no lag.
With a little bit of adjustment the turbo could be at full boost around 2900 rpm (with stock cams)

You don't want that lag from the Red.

This would be a great debate.
The Green has the "new" 65mm revision of the high efficiency 67mm turbine wheel used in the Red.
so physics says that the Green spools faster. but then again...
