Fp green or red

The stock intake mani is fine at the level of any of these turbos.

^^Agree. Don't go SMIM unless you really have too. The more you mod, the more you start to appreciate how well OEM stuff fit and worked.

Very, very true, just like how they look, but, I am most likely getting my stock mani powder coated so I guess it'll look just as good! So I have decided to order the green, question though, will paying the extra $95 to get it ported by them going to be benificial? Or is it a waste of 95 bucks

[dogwhistle]

With the green I wouldn't imagine you maxing out the flow of that housing so I wouldn't worry about the porting personally. Others may have better results though. Mainly on the exhaust side, it is to reduce creep, and on the compressor side, to increase flow.

[wildman38]

Alright, I wasnt figuring I would really need it, but, figured I would get opinions!

[Halon]

Up to you really. Me personally I'd do it, I had my old bolt on 50-trim ported. Can't go wrong either way, just whether or not you want to drop another $95. If you're on a tight budget, just skip it you'll be happy either way.

And great choice man, I don't know how much power you've driven before but on E85 you'll be able to get into the 400's and it'll rip up the streets at those levels. And on a 2.3, it'll feel like a 16g on a 2.0 so still fun as hell to drive. Great choice! If only we all could choose like that and not get caught up in the internet HP dick swinging.

I may just give in and port it, I mean, better to have it done for piece of mind, right? haha

[Halon]

Yep, and done by FP who built the turbo so you know it'll be done nicely. Will give it just a tad more flow which Mitsu housings tend to already be a little more restrictive, so will only help in that regard. I think it's a good idea, but whether or not it's worth the cost is up to the person making the decision. Either way you go you won't go wrong though, it'll be a killer setup.

[wildman38]

Yeah I personally do not want to build a crazy high hp car right now, all I wanted was a car that I can have a complete blast in on the road, yet still have the ability to throw it on a track if I really wanted to. Plus I realize the more power you put through a motor, the more likely you arre to break things, which I already deal with enough!
