That site gets crazy traffic! 25pgs of comments in 4 days? I know many guys here who run FP's in their wrx sti's. Curious to see where they stand on this new info. I have heard of problems with this company from last year. I don't know how this will affect them, (i mean to the extent) but it can't be good for their already questionable reputation. I have no firsthand experience with them.

Sounds like Blouch is gonna get a ton of business from this. I have been wanting a 16G, not any more though.

It is laughable about the fact that FP claims to make perfect turbos...........really.............perfect? Come on, nobody's perfect. The fact that he would even get on a high horse rant about the company making perfect turbos is just ridiculous. It's like saying that they're perfect and that nothing can ever go wrong with their turbos unless the customer screws it up. What a crock.

It just makes me wonder if Blouch will be the same way when they are getting all of the business that FP loses due to the thread.

i never did like FP because of those reasons.. he says "he has the most experience out of anyone in the country", that dont mean nothing to me. with all that experience, you can either make good or bad out of it. He can either be using his experience to cheat people more, or improving out of it...

this reminds me of that guy posting about FP turbos being taiwan turbos lol....

i remember that thread...perhaps theres some truth to the story...
after all its way cheaper to outsource parts and labor...i recently was watching a program on tv where the chinese growth is so big...that pple dont care about the enviroment and was polluting their own country over money...
when they asked what would they take... a mercedez benz or pollution...they would rather have the benz...
