Fp green or red

[wildman38]

Manual. I am fairly new to these things and this will sound stupid, but what is the difference in external to internally gated? Likee what advantages are there?

[dogwhistle]

I will send you a pm and I can explain these better.

Alright cool thank you

Well, I just got done bolting up my old school Green tonight. I had the Red many years ago when I still had a 2.0, great turbo, made a lot of power and was decent on the street. More recently I had the E316g with a 2.4. Crazy spool, made 350ish dynojet on pump gas, but not quite enough, so I picked up a Green. I was waiting for a sale on these things, but it never came, so I scored a nice deal on the old style one, freshly rebuilt by Justin. I've now almost completely duplicated the 2.4 Green setup I had in my Evo, which was the best combination I've ever had, just in a cheaper DSM package. :D

I'd put it this way, with the 2.3, if you want a great street car and around 400whp on pump, get the Green. If you want a weekend 10-second car with no intentions of turning the wheel at an event, get the Red. I would think the new style HTA Red with a 2.3 would spool about even with a 2.0 and the Green, but make another 100+horsepower.

Are you referring to internally gated or externally, cause that is my debate right now, I want to figure out which of the two would work best for a great street set up

[mark4g63t]

Go external. Recirculated or Atmosphere dump, the choice is yours.
External gates are intended to give a more precise control on boost levels, while they also help with "boost creep".

Alright, thank you everyone!

The only thing im not a fan of is the warrenty or lack there of from fp. They do make great turbos but have you considered a garret turbo? amazing warrenty on the ball bearing stuff. ball bearing exchange program is top notch. they now have a gtx line that is very bad ass. unless you are just trying to keep that stock appearing thing going I guess. BTW not a ploy against fp at all. I am still concidering letting them upgrade my 35r

[wildman38]

I was actually thinking about the gtx, but then again, cannot find one for a decent price, I looked online, unless I am looking at the wrong turbo they were $3000+. The red and feh green are $899 right now, that is one main reason I was looking at fp.

That a hell of a deal, I wouldn't look anywhere else.
