Fp green hta 73 *ball bearing*
I was just about to buy the hks 7460r turbo but now I've heard I can buy a FP GREEM HTA 73 84mm surge cover with 18psi actuator with BALL BEARING UPGRADE FOR 2550$. That seems fair for 30-40whp more flow AND HTA wheels..
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS? VENDORS? FORCED PERFORMANCE???

This is news to me. AFAIK, you can only get the HTA Green, or any other 16G derived turbo, converted to a BB center section on the other side of the pond. There are at least two shops in Britain that'll do the conversion(Turbo Dynamics, and Evo 400)....I think. Not 100% sure on the names though, sorry.

FP mentioned at one point that they considered making a ball bearing green but it would cost too much and decided against it. I think that was mentioned in the HKS 7460 turbo thread.
I believe they referrenced owens development, or if they didnt someone else did

maybe petition to forced performance. I'll PM them to start a group-buy, maybe even slightly less than +800$ as an introduction to their stuff.
I'm sure now that they have competition in the form of 7460r, I'm sure they'll improve. I mean billet wheels are still fresh in the industry...

It would seem more worth it for a FP Red or Black the Green spools fast already but imagine a red or black that spools like a Green, that would be nice. Although you would probably have some motor problems due to bringing on that much torque so fast
