Feeler: Blown FP Red(ported)

Hi guys,

I would like to get offers for a blown FP Red. It's a newer style ported FP Red, I used it for about 2-3K miles and it blew. I was planning on rebuilding it as FP Black, but right now I don't have the money and I think I would do better with some Meth to quench my thirst for power. The compressor wheel is damaged so you can either rebuild it as a FP Red again or for the same price you can get a FP Black. I would be willing to include the additional FP oil line.

Keep in mind that a new FP Red or FP Black is $1,999.99. I am interested in $$$ or a Aqumist Alky kit. PM me offers! Thanks.

I bought this from another member on this forum. And he didn't had any papers for it. He had bought it and never installed it, because he needed the money for other things and couldn't continue with the build. However, when I got it, It looked brand new as he had said.

I used it for about 2-3k and the turbo just died. I didn't even got a chance to enjoy it . I do know for a fact that I had a MAJOR boost leak at the time of tuning and some of the members here say that was the cause(over spin). I'll try to get some pictures of it later today.

I can't say right now. I just posted out of emotion. I was cleaning my car and saw it laying there and came here to post it. Shoot me a PM with an offer, don't be shy. Also I think its $1,099.00 if you send I stock IX turbo. I think it's a little less if you send a Red. Either way, I'll check with FP or if you get the info let me know.

I just posted what I know, but since I see your AMSOIL avatar. I was using Mobil 1. 15w-50 for about 2K-2.5K miles on it. Then I switched to Mobil 1 10w-40 racing 4t as they advertise and 500miles later it died. Coincidence? I don't know.

Actually I asked Aniel @ FP last week this same question and he said $750 and the wait was 1-2 weeks.
