FP RED for evo 8 & 9

[scheides]

They are one in the same. Check the thread about it in the parking lot (I'd link but I'm on my phone)

Wow, those are damn good times for a stock appearing turbo!

Ported IM and TB in my opinion is the best bang for your buck. Anyways I will look at some HTA3076 graphs and see how it compares to this FP red. If there isn't much difference then I wish the HTA3076 good luck.

Brandon, here's the Indy/Wilson Manifolds v2 manifold (that buschur tested), about a month ago:

Also, here's a pic of the turbine wheel (mentioned above). Kinda cool it has a FP logo on it :)

stikx, the HTA3076 is still gonna make a little more power up top, but its gonna spool later and be about twice as expensive. More info on a hta3076 test HERE. (http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=332881) The HTA3076 is definitly a FP3065 killer, but the fp red might just be a HTA3076 killer (for evo 6/7/8/9 guys anyways).

I think you're right on the ported IM/TB being the best bang/buck. A $75 port job and you get 7-10whp all over, not bad. The Indy/WM v0 will be ~$500, If that produces decent gains up top w/o sacrificing much or any spool down low, it would be 'the next step' for someone like me, after going to the red or some other big turbo. I'm damn happy with mine as it is though!

I kind of figured, the fp red would kill the 3076 hta market due to the red being cheaper and a bolt on turbo. Now I want to see the tq curve on a 2.3 :D.

Friday night the car mentioned in the original post went out for some shake-down runs. Best pass was 10.45@134mph, with a lift somewhere in 4th gear due to the car in the right lane swerving.

So like 390awhp on a Dyno Dynamics, if that's an AWD Dynojet and not running in FWD.

[Super Bleeder!!]

I was expecting more.

I was expecting more.

+1. 390 @26psi sounds like DSM 50-trim numbers. I'd have thought the numbers would be a bit more for an Evo Red.
