How much longer for my fp red

I placed my order for the fp red with buschur racing last week...They told me the waiting list is about 4-5 weeks, but i have a funny feeling it's gonna be longer...How long did you guys have to wait for your red???

I ordered mine directly from FP and received it in 4 weeks. I was quoted 3-4 weeks, so I'd say the estimates are spot on at this point. Bushur might take longer because they need to get it from FP then send it to you.

You placed the order on 8-26-08. There are 8 people ahead of you with red orders. I just talked to FP and they said that we should have more (for our orders) by the end of next week. I am estimating 5 will come in then. It seems to us we get about 3-4 every two weeks or so. So as originally told the wait time would be about 4-5 weeks. You also never know if you will get bumped up as some of the customers we have on order that are ahead of you have not given thiere c.c. information in which sometimes they do not get back to us and the turbo is given to the next inline. We have also had cancellations on orders like these ( because some people have things come up in between waiting or something) so, you know never know.

Does the FP Red from Forced Performance come with the 18psi wastegate Actuator standard option? They don't have the option to select it for the Red like they do with the Green. Also is porting and coating available anyone know?

For those of you that sent in the turbo for the rebuild. Did you seperate it from the O2 housing or did you send them the both units. I was told to seperate. Just curious.

The O2 housing stays at home in the garage. Just send FP the turbocharger itself.
