TSIBoy Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Has anyone considered getting one of the new Forced Performane FP 30 turbos? It appears as though it would bolt right on. (might have to take a drill to the exhaust housing and get rid of the threads used on an eclipse to bolt it on). Pruven Performance put one of these turbos on their car in SCC mag's ultimate street car challenge, I think it pulled about 565 whp at 30 psi. Yes, 30 psi is WAY too much for street, but should be a 400 whp bolt on turbo for pump gas easily. It uses a completely new casting done by FP so that it has 8cm bolt pattern but uses a Garrett GT30 compressor section and center section. It also has a flange welded on for an external wastegate. Price tag is at $1450 Â which is a bit high, but I personally don't think so for such a large BOLT ON turbo http://www.forcedperformance.net/dsm_turbo_fp30.htm http://www.forcedperformance.net/images/products/fp30/fp3065_3055.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 To be completely honest... For $1400 I could build a bad tail Garrett with a header and external wastegate and kill that turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMconquest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 One of my friends has the 2nd quickest 1g DSM in ohio, I think. It is fully built running the FP Red that has gone 9.90s without n2o. When he goes it two second he loses traction on awd! Quite amazing and it isn't efficient uintil about 25psi and doesn't have too much lag. Should have some 10s timeslips this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
