I have run the smaller FP turbo - the FP Green and now run the MD321V and the V outspools, outperforms in response and in overall power.

Obviously this is against the smaller Green than the Red, but the Red would be even laggier and less responsive in my opinion.

The price difference is for a very good reason.

ok would you say the price diff is due to power/performance or build quality/reliabilty as i dont like to skimp on things many thanks

I asked a lot of questions like this mate, just before buying mine. Although it was out of the FP Green, not red. I didn't read very good things about the FP turbo's. Especially from a mate on the Evo forum...as lot of Red's seemed to fail.

Eventually I bought the MD321T, which is sat here ready to go on.
