What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

So my FPRed shelled a blade off of the exhaust wheel and destroyed the turbo. It had around 65Kmiles of 35psi. Nothing is reusable per FP's assessment. I liked the response and power level, I don't think there is a real equivalent with a T3.

T3? is that all we have now? The other bolt on's from FP are a joke...you need a new downpipe, wastegate, etc.... Garbage IMHO. I didn't want a bolt on BB due to the price.

i'm thinking a PTE 5558 with a .63 housing? I want a drivable, all around easy to deal with car.

Fail.

5857 or 5858 it is now, BB or go BW.
My 5857 with kel ford 272s was awesome, sadly I bought a JB version it didn't last 5k miles,they didn't put in a retaining clip for the hotside bearing.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

^ that is the same thing that happed to the 5857 I got from a buddy

would go BW

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Yeah I'm done with PTE, their customer service is disgusting.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, you could look at the EFR 7064 (56lb/min) or 7670 (64lb/min). Both come in T3 or T4 form, internal WG, integrated blow off valve, optional compressor wheel speed sensor (good for your engineering mind!).

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Buy my FP Red. It's the old skool so it's got the Evo hotside, plus now getting the new HTZ wheel and new 84mm compressor cover. It's currently at FP getting the work done.

Seriously, IM me!

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Evo hot side meaning twin scroll exhaust manifold? And old school meaning their first release of the evo fpred? With out the flow advanced cover, ( now it will have)? Did they confirm it was good and provide the quote?

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Question to all the pte issues, was it a journal or bb? I've had great luck with my pte turbos over the years, most are bb, for the exception of a 5031 on an old dsm.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Mine was a journal bearing, always an issue with their JB stuff. I've been too poor/cheap to buy their BB stuff.

I've heard their issues with BB stuff is minimal.

**edit** Once PTE rebuilds their JB turbos they seem invincible like BW, holset, Garretts are new. I figure better quality control/build.**

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

same as brown man

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Yep, twin scroll 10.5 MHI hot side, flow advancement cover and HTZ wheel, fully rebuilt at FP with zero miles. No longer available from FP. :D

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Stock turbo son! :)

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Oh my... where the fuck have you been?? :blind:

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Must be over in the Honduh boards. :D

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

I'd try to find a bolt on turbo weather its used or needs work. You wont find that instant/no lag with a pte or borg warner turbo witch I think you'd want on your DD.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

^ For simplicity sake, I agree with doing a bolt-on turbo. But as for lag, I disagree, I am really a fan of BW EFR series (spendy as they may be). True they won't have the twin scroll Evo exhaust housing, but my BW spools faster and flows 50% more air than my Garrett T28... that says a lot! (Yes my new 44 lb/min turbos spool 300 rpm quicker than the old 30 lb/min turbos)

The downside is you need a new exhaust manifold and O2 housing or downpipe to fit the T3 input and vband discharge. And the turbo costs a stupid amount.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

Agree.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

I have a FP Green coming back from FP as well, JB MHI housing that they no longer make. I made 492/460 at Rons with the same turbo on my 2.3 Evo. Shoot me a pm if you have any interest.

Re: What now? My Evo FPRed is Dead
 

The deal with GBlower fell thought. FP contacted him late in the game and said his MHI housing was junk. I receive the same message from them on my turbo...

I'm very interested in the Green! PM sent!
