I'd personally rather have a FP turbo (green/red) then a PE any day. That's just me though.

really, if anything i would get the FP Red, but do you know a place that has it for a good price? i would like something really reliable and that wont mess up my engine that bad over time. So far i have heard nothing but good stuff about the FPs and nothing really about the PE, but do you think you can explain why FPs are better?

If this is for a Wrx then you might wanna look at a VF-34, 30 or 39.. If you have a STI then it's too small go for the Green/Red
