going with the FP Green turbo

[95TSi_AWD_717]

my friend is selling me his fp green turbo for 400 bucks, i've read up on em seen nothing but great reviews and how much they cost brand new so i feel pretty lucky. i hoping to get this injector issue done this weekend so i can have the turbo in by next weekend. has anyone seen anything bad about them? and if anyone who has used or use the turbo how is ya'll results?

 

[96pos dsm]

for 400 bucks cant go wrong depending on how many miles its seen may want to send it in for a rebuild

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

it's pretty much brand new, my friend bout a gsx for his girl the guy had everything apart in it had to put it together, i got the fp intake with it, the fp green turbo, and fp cast iron manifold all for 450, he put the turbo he had in his into his girls for a faster spool and he's puttin the gt35 in his, he had it on craigslist for much more, but were really good friends and i had got my tsi back in oct so he's hookin me up, and my other friend he actually thinks it's the fp red, ### the fan and outlet is bigger and he believes its a 60 trim from what he remembered looking at it, but the turbo has enough miles for it to be just broken in, no leaks seals are good, no shaft play,and its internal gated, i'm going to do a fully built 6 bolt motor and going to put the turbo on that, i get 3 grand a month and all my money goes into my car so thought i'd put it in good use than blowin on the 7 bolt, should have it all done spring sometime, i just wanted to know what everyone thought bout the turbos, i could go bigger but i heard good reviews about it, and as you said cant be the price on it

Props on the green you'll be very happy with it assuming you have all the mods to run it.
Good luck and post up some pictures.

I was able to get 360whp at 23 pounds on a friends car. This was on 93 and timing was pulled a lot due to some phantom knock. I'm going to be retuning his car again as soon as we finish swapping it over to awd. I see no problem making 500 on this turbo.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

ya'll are puttin a smile on my face cant wait to get everything done and see the outcome

 

[RadDsm]

I can't think of anything not to like about it.
It's capable of a good amount of airflow, good pump gas turbo, and you get MHI reliability.

 

[jed344]

i am interested to see the numbers aswell iv always been interested in FP green and red ever sence my wrx. lota guys run green on those aswell

 

[Raymond1927]

It's a great turbo, and your right you can't beat the price. For a daily car and weekend warrior it's a great turbo to have 450hp no problem.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

i'm goin for as much hp i can get, anyone have opinions on what pistons rods and such i should get for the bottom end, and im thinking of getting the slowboy short route intercooler i've seen a couple others but that will be after i get the motor fully done for what i wanted, but yea i want to run pump gasoline so we'll see how much hp i can get without having to use anything else fuel wise

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

i just got my hks type 1 turbo timer in and i ordered the turbo time harness with it off of extreme psi to find out it's a greddy harness but the timer and harness fit the plugs with each other slide right in, so it havin that it should still work right? or do i have to order the hks harness?

a couple pics with the turbo and manifold

 

[JusMX141]

Ummmm....that's not a FP Green. That's a Bullseye Power T04B V-Trim.

A green is a Hybrid made using a Mitsu 20G- there's nothing Mitsubishi about the turbo you posted in the pics except for the manifold and o2 housing flanges.

Try doing a little more reading and you'll find out you want to avoid that turbo like the plague.

 

[brian9397gsx]

Deff not a green op you would be better off selling it and getting an EVO 16g.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

o realllyyy,, well then hows these turbos

my friend wrote me back when i asked him about it he said it cant be ### it has fp on it, so say it's not the bullseye which i looked at pics of those and it doesnt look like that then what kind of fp could that be if it really were to be an fp turbo

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

heres the bullseye your talking about looks nothing like my turbo

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

here's the fp green for a dsm which looks really similar to mine

and the fp is stamped on the turbo just not on a little out block like that one

and the elbow you see welded on that one is optional it's for a better stock fitting so with out that removed and the block with the stamp i'd have to say it looks exactly like mine, i've seen other fp green turbos that look diff to but made for diff cars

 

[JusMX141]

Yours is not a FP anything. FP does not sell any turbos with a T04B compressor cover....the only thing FP in that setup is the manifold. Count the compressor blades....ALL FP Greens (excluding the HTA) use a T04E50 compressor with (6) major compressor blades.

Look familiar?

It's your turbo without a polished compressor cover. You're in denial.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

either way im still goin to do a full motor build with a gt35 good thing i get payed 3 grand a month for the next 3 years for doin nothing compliments of the military so this is all for enjoyment either way, once i get my job with the feds i'll sell the car

and those blades dont look like mine

even if it was just a polished cover that turbo still looks nothing like mine i dont get where your getting at with that turbo you just pictured i'm not that dumb

 

[dsm-onster]

Yes they do look like the same blades.

I hope you're not just fine with your friend selling you a turbo that's worth half of the one he told you he was giving you. How much money you make has nothing to do with principles. At least you now know what turbo you REALLY have. Perfect strangers have done you better than a 'friend'.

FWIW, that turbine housing is a BEP bolton turbine housing. And further that particular BEP bolton housing is NOT compatible with a MHI bearing section which is included with the FPgreen. Further, the FP green uses a 6blade 50-trim compressor wheel. Count your blades.

Good things comes to those who wait. You should measure the compressor inducer/exducer. And hoplefully it IS the v-trim. The map shows a bit more flow than a 50-trim, though no one seams to get that to translate to more power. The other options output by BEP with the garrett turbo line are frankly silly (like the 57 trim) when you can get a bolton MHI evo3 16g to net better results at far superior spool/torque.

I didn't ask for a salary report. Now you're just trying to throw the "look at me, I'm in the military and get money for FREE" card in our faces, and really I could give a shit. If you made that much money doing nothing, you should be buying a house....not dumping it into your car.

and those blades dont look like mine

Look again.

even if it was just a polished cover that turbo still looks nothing like mine i dont get where your getting at with that turbo you just pictured i'm not that dumb

- The turbo in the pics you posted has 6 bolts holding the compressor cover on. ALL FP Greens have a single snap ring.

- The turbo in the pics you posted has a T3 center housing. ALL FP Greens use a Mitsu center housing.

- The turbo in the pics you posted has a Bullseye Power turbine housing. Forced Performance would never let this fly as Bullseye is a competing company.


Believe what you want, I'm telling you the facts. If you don't want to listen to me, that's entirely up to you.

Why don't you get in touch with Robert Young himself at FP and ask what he thinks about the turbo you just purchased.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

that exactly what is has is 6 blades with a 50 trim housing my other friend who runs fp turbos says it is an fp he had a fp frankenstein and no one would believe him it was a turbo done by fp, either way it what you use to prevent a turbo goin to hell oil regulators ect i've been talkin to a diff friend who works on dsms about turbos for the past hour and half he said big 16gs surge more than any turbo hes seen but i have people tellin me to get a 16g so if any of this is true i have people trying to screw me which way, i'm buyin a gt35 next month but that's goin to go on the 6 bolt after i get that and everything built up

 

[kidtsi]

16gs are one of the best turbo in history and reliability, if they were able to make more than 450whp everyone would have one.

I just bought an FP green and doesn't look anything like this, if that is an FP green it should be an olda$$ style.

EDIT: wait but the center section is a T3 or at least not an MHI so i cant be an FP green.

You need to stop listening to what your "friends" are telling you. They don't know what they're talking about.

Do your own research, form your own opinions based on the facts that you've found. I'm done trying to convince someone as stubborn as you.

Just for the record, I've never seen a Big 16G surge. Your buddy's buddy's buddy is full of shit.

 

[95TSi_AWD_717]

ok as i said look up on google for force perfomance green turbo dsm. that's the one they made for the dsm, then if you go on the site, they have a new model one, if mine isnt it isnt it's whatever, i'm just doin the research, and from what i've gathered it's not a bullseye, they took it off his old girls car, in which the manifold is fp, the intake i have is fp, and the turbo has fp on it so did the research and saw the fp green dsm and that's what i came to believe, like i said when im done with school and i get this job i'm sellin the car, and i'm going to get the new nissan gtr took a look at one and liked it except not into the paddle shift thing but it's o well

my boy deff knows what he's talkin about he's been doin his awd spyder on his own, works on all of our cars and always fixes them as he helping me out with my injector issue in mine right now and i can actually say his girl most likely knows more about dsms than anyone on this site, i came here for help with stuff, and im not taking what ya'll said and throwin it out, i'm still goin to do more research, but like i said i've done the research from what i've seen on the internet from many other pics and threads i came up with the probabilty that it's not a bullseye, but i could be wrong, it could be an fp it couldnt be i have people telling me it's not i have people telling me it is, so be in my position right now with all this mass confusion, instead ya'll like to bash

show this to your friend.

Take some of that "3 grand a month" and put it towards school. Your grammer is terrible. Your entire thread now makes complete sense.
