Forced performance turbo, very dissapointed 😡
Very dissapointed in my new forced performance turbo I Had a brand new turbo on my Evo which would not make the boost. When speaking to forced performances tech people they pointed the finger at everything thing else, which was double and triple checked costing thousands. Intercooler to small they say even though we measured the pressure drop and temperature drop all perfect.
I have one of the best tuners in the country doing the build.
Turbo fails on the Dyno, again FP say it's the installation all though two other turbos are bolted straight up one bigger one smaller, both perform flawlessly.
Then they try argue that something has gone through the turbo even though it's not even left the Dyno cell!
I now have a $3000 piece of scrap metal! I will never use their products again!

What exactly is generic about it???
i thought I was quite clear about the issue, first it wouldn't make more than 45psi boost then it flew to pieces so my problem is a dead turbo how much more clear could I be?
I don't have pictures because it got sent back to FO and what do you need pics for anyway? It looks like a turbo that has exploded

Who says it's a 600hp intercooler? Put a Garret gt 42 straight on And bang makes 985hp with the same intercooler. Furthermore intercooler pressure drop and emap were checked and all fine 2psi pressure drop @ 50psi.
And still only made 1 or 2 psi more boost with the nos on, no where near what it is supposed to be capable of, here's a thought, maybe the turbo had something wrong from factory.
First the say intercooler is to small we prove it's not then they say foreign object has gone through it although it never left the Dyno cell?

FP- "Can we get a shaft speed measurement?"
OP- "Naw were gonna ****ing send it. *picks up phone* Harry, I need NOS, and I need it by tonight."
A few hours later....
Turbo- *explodes*
