old school fp green in need of some love
I have an old school fp green that i ran for 55k miles that ran storm until the wastegate flapper decided that it no longer wanted to be part of the turbo so i replaced it with the new hat green. It boosted strong with no issues before the flapper issue. when i was taking it off a stud broke off in the hotside but i didn't bother getting it out as the hot side is cracked where the flapper sits so will need to be replaced anyway. It has some shaft play but nothing too bad, i would have kept thing thing in if not for the wastegate flapper issue and wanting the new hta. I also have a video of the shaft play for anyone interested
. I now i have to post a price so ill put 600 and take offers as well. please feel free to hit me up with any questions.

I just had this happen on the 1.8t audi a4 I daily drive. All of a sudden the car became naturally aspirated lol. I check the waste gate actuator and rod...working fine, then I'm like no way the damn flapper fell off didn't it! And what do you know sitting inside my cat was the wastegate flap. What a pain in the *** that job was. I could have installed a turbo on an evo 5 times in the amount of time it took to do on this stupid little 1.8t!
Anyways, I loved my old school green it was an awesome turbo for a street car. Good luck with the sale!
