Ill give you a ride in mine once i return down there but im sure you will ride it well before ME haaaaa
They built it, it was a built 2.0 I believe that guy is on here but I'm not sure of his username. Guy was all smiles though, he went from a stock turbo to a 6262 it was like night and day.
I probably will Rock

That's another guy, this is a black evo 9.
Yea man, that thing gets up.

By the time you come get your car, there will be a handful of fully built big turbo Evo's for you to ride in.
You should talk to Jorge about maybe setting something up so you can take it to the track when your down here.

i recommend u sell the fpblack and get a 6262 or 6765 rock. Once u put on that black, you will regret it man. Them fpblack are very small, u will waste your money bro. Just ask around. Get all your hard earn money worth it bro. Dont go cheap man. Speaking as a friend, i am not lying dude. Like you said on other thread, be patient and get a better parts. I would do a bigger turbo than fp black.

LOL i would hope to do so learn how to drive this new beast. I am shooting for 10.99 if i can do it down there perfect lol. Ill have the drivetrain and power for it. Ill have to run race gas or e85 when i do it of course. I am more interested in going to the dyno and tuning it. I want to see a dyno in person lol. Guess what there will be some big turbo cars and ill be one of them so thats cool over 500 club is good enough for me. So i suppose there will hit hard but my should hit extremely hard producing more tq and quicker spool. Maybe ill be the only 2.4 so they want to ride in mine LOL when you going back down there again??

NOPE black is comparable to a 35r man with faster spool LOL. the only thing a big turbo has on it is WOW hit holds boost in the UPPER RPM better. will that big turbo help me on auto x course? will that big turbo help me on the road course. NOPE. the only place it will do justice is street racing and on the drag strip. none of which is my goals. The fp black is a 9 sec capable turbo. im only needing it to do 10.99 ONE TIME. it will get the job done for what i want to use it for big turbos . Not to mention Mikey is killing numbers with the fp black we are not even going to bring up Mike@awdmotorsports 9.33 713whp fp black and he did not even have it cranked up all the way on that run rant done. Fp black is a beast turbo and im sure while im down there ill be giving plenty of rides making heads spin

I agree, bigger isn't always better.
Should be a nasty combination, the 2.4/FP Black.

your car is not the same as Mike awd 's car bro. Oh well, if u insist on doing auto cross , then stick with your black. Just keep this in mind, the black turbo are very small, down the road, you will get bored with it and wanna get a bigger turbo. There's an old saying, you pay what u get.

If that's the case, the FP Black is more than the PTE 6262/6765 (pricewise).

even if u ran 9s with fpblack, u take your car on the highway racing with a 35R turboed car, they gonna kill u up top. Cuz of their larger frame turbo. And please, fpblack are not the same size as 35R, who ever told u this aint know what they talking about.

the big diference is the internal wastegate for black and external on 6262 or 35r. xternal wg make more power , larger frame, etc. much much difference buddy. We should know these by now. There's another old saying, The bigger the better. It;s late, iam out. Peace bro.

if you knew about that car you would be shocked but not going there. LOL if you dont know me by now then sorry IF i want a big turbo i will go out and buy one. no sweat off my back. but that will not help me in the long run. LOL if i got bored as easy as most people on this board i would not have a evo. I will be happy with what the turbo produces i have from 0-700 hp i could make with it if i want more i turn up the boost add a dump then raise OCT of gas

Regardless of what you like to think...your car is FAR from anything of Mike@AWD car. Really, while your build is a good build and you seem to do this correctly...your car is nothing more than a 2.4 fp black build. Nothing else special lol.

Good luck with making some good numbers. I bet the car will be a blast to drive on the street.
