Probably Mike/Jase at Area52 Autosport (previously ScoobyMania)

These are the main FP importers for the UK. However having said that, id be looking at an MD321V for that kind of HP level.

Yes an FP red might make the numbers, but the area under the graph compared to the 321V will be not even close.

The 321V would murder it IMO.

I think that may be a little unfair to say until we have all seen a proper back to back comparrison, same car, same fuel, same mapper etc.
Lets not forget that most of the figures seen for a 321V have all been on some blend of funny fuel.(E85 being 104 ron)
It may also be considered a little unfair to compare them as they vary in price by a large margin.

I have nothing against the 321 range or the nice gentleman that sells them, I just get a little tired of people on a public forum telling everyone who'll listen, it is the only turbo thats cuts the mustard.
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES.

There hasn't been a direct comparison as you state Martyn but I did do a back to back against versus the green that was on my car which is faster spooling than the red (both on std fuel)

Ive used a green too mate so i know there are other turbos out there that work.

However as dynamix has stated. He has done back to back on the same car, same boost same fuel againts the faster spooling green vs the 321V and the V murdered it.
