Post My new ride
Well, I did not get a new car, but it is now... a totally different beast! I pick up my whip from Tobz today after he installed my FP Red, Buschur Porter Intake Manifold, 65mm T/B, and 1350 FIC Bluemax Injectors in only two days. Holy Shit!!! I LOVE IT! I went from 376WHP to 470WHP!!! @ only 30 PSI. The little bit of Lag that I now have makes it more suitable for daily driving. It is not longer boost happy at 2800 RPM's; and when it Kicks, it Kicks!!!

I want to thank Tobz for all of his hard work and expertise! I can't wait to make it out to Bandi and run 10's!!!

Drove the car to work today and boy can I say that I really, really love this turbo! I got the 64mm inlet and not any surge what so ever. It builds boost more smoothly and holds it better without BOV surge like the stock turbo did with the Forge RS BOV. I purchased the Turbo back in May and had been trying to break the stock turbo record for Colorado before I put it on. After falling .184 short, I'm thinking to myself, why the hell did I not put this Red on three months ago! I have been missing out big time! This Red will just keep pulling and pulling. This is the second best bang for the buck mod I have done... Only second to E-85 where I picked up 79WHP and the Red is another 94WHP on top of THAT! Please keep in mind, I'm on the stock bottom end; and I don't plan on running anymore then 30 PSI!

Sounds like a fun car to drive! Do you have to purchase FP's oil line when doing a red?

Bought the oil line to be on the safe side. I bought the turbo used back in May and did not have the upgraded oil line. If your going get a Red, get the oil line!

$150 with the filter in the line! Is that what you are going to upgrade to? I love it! My car was fast and now it's really fast! I took the long way back to the office after lunch, just to get on it!

Anyone thinking of upgrading to this turbo... I would not think twice!

I'm thinking about since my motor will be built. I can only imagine a 2.3 with a red on 35psi.
