Marco is rarely on these forums.

I probably am not the only vendor who would be frustrated by a customer asking us for information in an unrelated thread with an off-topic post instead of either calling or PM'ing us.

you will not because none have failed. I have to agree with Magnus this polls makes fp look horrible. 25% failure rate come on now. If i knew that i would never own a fp product ill be like i have a 1 in 4 shot of getting something of quality come on now. its just haters that had a bad experience or have nothing better to do this thread should be locked down and deleted its nonsense.

I have to agree FP turbos aren't failing and this "poll" makes it look like 25% are. Threads like this are why evom will never be taken seriously as far as technical input is concerned.

where have you been lol use what is required and you will not have issues. there are people to this day not using it but if they have a failure its not fp fault and they should not warranty replace it because you decided to do what you wanted to do and not use the required equipment

Being local I can tell you these are great guys and very polite to deal with. They are a GREAT company to do business with IMO. There have been a few failures around our area, granted they were all in road race situations and before the oil line fix. None the less I belive they stood by they're product and took care of the guys. Since the fix I haven't heard of many failures at all. I can assure anyone reading this they will have my business turbo wise as long as I drive boosted cars! PERIOD

If there are 5 blacks that failed, that have a 12 month warranty from FP (which I don't think have been out that long) can FP confirm these so called failures?

As the saying goes "Pics or it didn't happen!"

Seems like some haters are polluting the thread...

Yes there were some failures with the FP Red....I have seen and heard about them....but things have changed since then.
