Paid £180.

UK dealer Owen Development quoted £350 for full rebuild.

Its the retailer that gets bad press not the turbo, Forced Performance are hard work...

Had it checked, tip top and ready to go!

Research shows max's out at 460 and more than compatible with TMIC.

My mapper recently mapped this turbo in Germany with healthy figures...

Yes turbo is capable running 460bhp,but FP(FP Green or Red) turbo are known as fragile turbo,just search here on SN

Second thing they're not very consistent in the claimed power,someone will make 460bhp,but someone will make just shy of the 400bhp

Good luck with the turbo,you will see how you get on and mainly great bargain

NASIOC - Plenty of helpful resources on there.

Why do people always focus on negative points without quoting all the success stories....?



I'd be more that happy with 400.
