About to buy an FP30 have a few Q's

[Sk8er07999]

Well I sold the 2g and bought a 1g. All the left over money is going into mods. I want to get an fp3052. have a few questions. MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT ALL IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE? Just the bare turbo? Or is wastegate, gaskets, lines, o2 housing, and vbands included? Less important: At what RPM will I see full boost on a mildly ported head
and gasket matched manifolds with stock cams and 7.8:1 compression?
Is there a build time? If so how long? I think that's it. Thanks for the help guys, Kevin.

The price includes the turbo only. The wastegate, O2 housing, lines, gaskets, and clamps are extra. 20psi+ can be seen as soon as 3800rpm. My experience with the GT30 showed instant transient response, but left a little to be desired for in the power department. Add it all up. But if your pricing starts going above $2K, check into full Garrett GT30 systems. AGP gives you everything in thier GT30 full Garrett kits,(turbo, manifold, wastegate, o2 housing, lines and gaskets) for I believe $2100.

I paid about $2,000 for the turbo and everything I needed to install it.... Gaskets, v-bands, oil feed/return lines, wastegate, O2 sensor housing, and I got the compressor housing, turbine housing, and wastegate polished. The price listed is for turbo only. I see full boost (20 psi) by 3800 and respool is incredible on a stock head/block. As for build time, depends on if fp is backordered or not. Mine took about 3 weeks to be built, but other people recieve their turobs in 3 days.

damn I only have like 1900.00. I wonder if I don't get anything polished, no elbow. how much it will be.

what do you guys think about the agp t3/t4 50 trim w/.63 a/r as in comparison to the fp3052? I can get a complete kit for $1,747.04 shipped. I like that manifold alot better then mine. only thing is it's not as responsive as the fp turbo. I will have a wait a little longer for the boost. I originally planned on getting this kit but now that I have the money I don't know what to do.

Oh, and if your 1st gen doesn't already have a 2nd gen or GM MAF, you should factor one of those in to your cost for an fp3052 as well. I could not get my car to run right on the 1st gen maf...

Give both shops a call, and see which one you would rather deal with.

This is a very nice review of the FP 3052. I personally own this turbo and would highly recommend it. You can read my personal review on the last page of the link.
