i had one already - not just one FP either.

IMO, their turbos are garbage.

long story short - the turbo failed for no reason outside the turbo itself. installed and tuned by professionals - lasted less than 2 months.

I have been running a green for 10,000 miles now at 23psi with no probs. I havnt heard of them being garbage. I bet if you do some research you will find that blouch has a few fail also. I have read that the dom 3 is hit and miss on that some spool great and make great power and some spool slow and dont make as much power as others with the exact same setup. I know that not all cars are identical but when your talking about a 50 to 75 hp difference from two cars with the same setup then you have to take note.

yeah, definitely look into it.

not saying that you only have to look into blouch, but stay away from FP.

they really don't care about you when their stuff fails even after you sent them back their failed turbos and their own inspection can't show any type of neglect at all - with all arrows pointing to faulty turbos. then they do nothing for you. trust me, i know.

they are garbage.

dont forget that the fp green is the number one selling turbo on the market " from what i read that is". so with that you will get more people complaning about that turbo as for the dom 3 has not been out for very long and they prob. only sold a hand full.

but there is no excuses for the costomer service, when a company gross so should the staff. ive read very good thing about the fp green and very bad thing's also. with that said 20g is what i would go with and if your lookinh for more power than the gt30r is the way to go..
