FS: Non-HTA FP Green turbo

I have an old style, non-hta forced performance green turbo for sale.
The turbo was recently serviced, as in wheels have been rebalanced, journal bearings replaced and seals replaced.
The thrust bearing was reused since it was FP's heavy duty thrust bearing and it was in very good condition.

It comes with a 11psi wastegate and nothing else.

If this is being installed on an evo 8, you can purchase the entire evo 9 install kit from ebay for about $60 shipped.

Looking for sold!. price includes fedex ground shipping to the 48 states. paypal accepted, but the payment must come from a verified account and will only ship to the confirmed address on the account.

Are you sure that's an OG Green? The compressor wheel looks cast to me, not like a CNC wheel.

Not to be offensive or **** you off, but you might have trouble with this since you took a turbo that is made by a company that people trust and had it "rebuilt" by a shop that nobody knows. And reused the thrust bearing, whether it was good or not, it would have been good insurance.

Either way, GLWS.

Forced performance is known for designing turbo's that make great power, not for rebuilding the turbo's. Most turbo shops can competently rebuild a turbo that can run, but it mainly comes down to the design that make them last.
And i reused the thrust bearing because it made better sense than using one that wasn't designed for the specific heavy duty use of this turbo. there are many different designs of thrust bearings out there and I could not get a new one from forced performance.

also, check my feedback, it speaks for its self. I couldn't even count the number of turbo's i sold, on evom and locally, on my fingers and toe's and not one has reported back with a failure.

As a matter of fact, this shop has refresh'd my FP red two years ago on which i have been running 40 psi for the last 6 months and 34psi for 1.5 years before that. And you wouldn't believe it if i told you that i am still running the stock oil feed line to the turbo.

I appreciate you trying to help, but it was something you would have been more helpful by sending a pm.

The FP Green is a fun turbo on E85. I am trying to make my mind up. How recent was the rebuild?

Since it has the 11PSI wastegate, would it be beneficial if I sent the turbo back to FP for an upgraded wastegate actuator? I was also thinking about adding the FP compressor cover and anti-surge set up as well. I know that guys are sending in the stock IX turbo for this exact same thing. Thoughts?
