Thanks A LOT for posting this. I dont know think you understand the money you could be saving people and just the pain in general. I have read other horror stories about these turbos and at first i thought it just happend o well. Now im deff. going to stay away from them. I was going to buy a fp green because of the spool but now they lost my buisness.
Thanks again man and good looking out for everyone.

Well by the looks of the traffic on this thread id say the 2 failed FP turbos + the FP attitude of ''our customers are not only NOT right,but i am ROB aka ''TURBO LORD of the universe''=3 wrongs will bring your biznA$$ the karma of a pack mule.

This should be stickied, haha.

The reason I'm laughing is because I recently had a bad experience of my own with another vendor not on this forum, and its nice to see bad customer service get rewarded for what its worth.

Majin, sorry you had to go through all that BS with FP, but it seems this Robert character is indeed ignorant of himself and the world. It is sad to blame foreign object destorying the 20g and low oil pressure on the Green, of course it's not their fault...how clever...not

"I have perhaps the most experience of anyone in the country when it comes to Mitsu based hybrid turbos and what it takes to make them live"
"I am correct regarding the failure of your 2 turbos, it is not something that is debatable"

A business will grow as far as the owner allows it, in this case FP has reached their potential and going downhill after this IF they continue with their current trend.


P.S. FYI for those looking for a green, Deadbolt has a SuperZilla 49 that flows exactly like a green and will produce the same amount of power, and also a 55lb/min SZ55 if you are feeling adventurous and Jerry offers life time warranty with rebuilds, what more can you ask.

Well, that rules out any FP turbo for me this fall. Sorry for your troubles.

i cant say i've had the same experiences, but customers of mine have had similar, mike is a stand up guy...when purchasing something like a turbo its always good to have background on the company your buying from as well.

sorry to hear about your troubles!

Very well written, Jason. Glad to see FP exposed.

I had a similar experience with one of my turbos. I had a FP3575 on my old STi. Well when the first motor went the turbo died due to oil starvation. Understandable. When the new motor went in, so did a brand new FP3575. About 200 miles later I could drive the car around no problems, but it wouldn't boost. I took it back to the stop and the turbo was SEIZED. We took a ratchet and attached it to the compressor side blades and jumped on it and it wouldn't budge. It literally welded itself to the housing. Well after long debates with Robert from FP, I had to bite the new cost of the turbo, which thankfully worked fine. Either way I was not refunded or given a discount even though I had bought two very expensive turbos from him within 2 months.

Stay away from FP


Jason, want me to cross post to evolutionm?
