Tk,
Got 1 guy in front of you, but it shouldn't take very long at all. I bought these for locals to use as cores, wyoming is close enough to call local *wink*

one of the unfortunate things is that they still cant do a core swap, as they have only new turbos in.
So for me to get one at a reasonable price, the upgrade for $600, requires taking my IX stocker off, and sending it in, then however long for downtime.
Or the other option of buy one for $1300, resell my IX stocker when I get the white... and with an average sale price of 300-400, that makes it a 900ish expense.
Basically the same as the upgrade price for a fp green if you had a stocker anyway..
How many people are in the same boat of wanting an upgrade at a reasonable price, but not wanting to have your car down for 3-4 weeks or worse?

I bet if you bought the new turbo, you can get more like 4 to 600 for your ix turbo....with the green back in production, the white released and the cbrd coming soon....ix turbos are gonna be in demand for core swaps again

I've had the same car with the same setup in the same conditions on this AWD dynojet and Cobb's old Mustang when it was across town here in McKinney and they were within 1%.

I decided to take the plunge and get the WHITE. Will see what this one can do. My previous turbo (JDM RS/GT 071 series) had a magnesium wheel failure at 25psi and I could not wait for 4 weeks for the Green. I hope it can at least come close to the awesome spool characteristics of the Mag wheel turbo and the top end of the Green.
Time will tell...
