Havent heard much of this kit lately and was just wondering would you guys recomend it or is getting your own parts and then cobb tune a better route?

 

That kit is no longer offered.

However, they can still put a similar package together. FP is no longer making the FP Green turbo with journal bearings. Since their turbos are all ball bearings now, the price for that turbo has jumped by about a thousand dollars. In addition, FP is no longer selling new FP Greens; as of the beginning of November they noted they would sell five new FP Greens with ball bearings, and call it quits after that. I believe they've restricted themselves to upgrading customer-provided OEM turbos.

Cobb is working on sourcing a replacement for the FP Green and this package, but it may be a while for OTS maps, etc.

 

Oh I see no wonder I never hear anything about it anymore but I didnt know they were getting rid of fp green.

 

The only advantage to the 400S "kit" was the fact that there were OTS maps for it.

Whatever parts you'd like in your build, you might as well source yourself and then go to Cobb for a tune.

Some of the items I would switch out in the kit would be:

HOA 3-port EBCS replaced with a Grimmspeed 3-port EBCS
Kelford Cams and Springs replaced with Cosworth Cams and Springs
Deatschwerks 850cc Injectors replaced with Injector Dynamics 850cc Injectors

You can still go with the FP Green turbo if you wish (it's a great turbo, just much more expensive now).

 

Thanks for the info. I was also thinking of EF2

 

Check out MAP EF turbos. i bet you'll like them. better for less than FP green.

 

Yea I had them in mind too. Plus my house is not to far away from them

 

Any idea why FP pulled the Green? Kinda worried...

 

Their turbo core supplier ran dry.

 

FP is only making a ball bearing green. I actually found one of the last journal greens. I'm in plano TX and I have the 400s kit installed by Cobb and tuned in Plano. I made 395 whp and 363 wtq. Keep in mind this is with a high flow cat and running 93 pump gas. It was a 70 whp gain and I'm very happy. When Kevin at Cobb finishes my dyno I'll post a link. I know the new ball bearing green is about $2400, but to be honest it's one of the best turbo upgrades on the market. The 400s is an amazing kit and I'm very happy. This is my everyday driver. So I'm finished for now. Cobb will have a replacement for the same price soon. You can also get the new green if you do not want to wait.
Hope this helps
