I have a 2g Gsx with all supporting Mods on an FP green. I made 310whp @23psi according to my tuner it's a pretty safe tune.

My old set up was a big 16g that only made 258whp but that felt faster than my new FP green is cuz I was expecting more or do the turbos really feel that different?
 
If you could post a log from when the car was on a 16G, and one with the car on the FP Green, it'd be fairly easy to tell you.

310 WHP on an FP Green is low. What fuel are you on? Post a current log. My money says your "tuner" isn't getting the most out of your setup.
 
I've been running an old school FP Green for about 15 years. Upgraded from a small 16G. THe 16g spools very fast and hits hard initially which makes you think its faster, but if you ever try to keep on it at WOT over 100mph you will feel that it stops pulling hard and begins to run out of steam. With the FP Green, the spoolup is very slow. I don't hit full boost until 3800-4200rpm (depends on the gear and speed since I'm auto). But at the top end it will keep pulling hard all the way to redline in 3rd gear. It's a tradeoff for a street car. Quick spool and fast acceleration from a traffic light or a highway monster.
 
I have a GVR4 with a 16g and a 1g with FP Green and I drive each a couple times a week. The feel of them is completely different. Compared to each other the hit of the 16g is so much fun, but after the hit it kind of flat lines. It feels very quick as long as you don't rev it out, but it's not really that fast. The Green is the opposite, it doesn't really have a hit but when it starts pulling it just pulls harder and harder.

But that being said, you should be making a lot more power at that PSI. I'm interested in seeing the log too.
 
He's up in Colorado which might explain the low numbers in comparison with what other people make. It's interesting that the FP Green description sounds very similar to how I feel with my 16G with a 20G compressor and a 9 blade turbine wheel. It kicks a little but the real power is up top where it pulls. It definitely feels very different than my friend's GVR4's 68HTA which hits hard and at low rpms.
