Anyone want a FP 18g turbo?

Here's the story: I was put on a waiting list by Forced Performance for one of their 18g turbos (TD05 hot side, 18g compressor) MANY months ago. I decided to take an alternate path, so I won't be needing this turbo anymore. The thing is, the waiting list for this turbo is huge, they should be getting a few in this month, and I am towards the top of that waiting list. SO, if anyone wants my space on the list...

I'm not too sure if this turbo is even going to be out this month, but if it does it would be a shame to let all those months of waiting go to waste. I think FP is going to sell these for about $800. Let me know if anyone wants it.

If you plan on running race gas this is a DOPE turbo!

The 18g can flow more air and spool a little faster than a VF-22. Sorry, I don't have #'s though.

18G's also take a bit more boost to really start flowing. I've heard it said that at 18psi a VF30/34 and an 18G are flowing roughly the same (and the 34 spools up as fast, if not faster).

It takes race gas and a boost to 20-24psi to really make things start to happen. It's at that point where the 18G walks away from the VF30/34.

yes its a bolt on but you will likely need to step up to at least 650cc injectors
