Selling my FP Green turbo off my 08 STi. No problems with it, had it inspected by MAP before I got an engine rebuild at RS and they found no issues. No shaft play. Images attached - Michelob Golden Light included It has a Mitsubish 8cm2 hotside (49378-10400 080 in raised cast numbers on it) 3" Inlet IWG setup $800 Also, selling the Black 3" Perrin Inlet pipe that was on it since I have downsized to a 2.4. I can take pics of that if anyone would like, but it's just an inlet pipe in good working condition (google the image and it looks like that). $125
What's wrong with storing it on top of stryofoam in a box inside my house? That's about as "cushy" as it gets... I'm not shipping it this way, I would bubble wrap the crap out of it before shipping. Unfortunately I have no way of knowing the miles on the turbo. My car had 49K miles when I bought it, but I never got to speak to the actual previous owner (it was at a reputable dealership in CO).
I wrapped it in a bag just for you GiMp Also, some appoximate measurements while I wait on FP for response: Inducer ~59MM Turbing ~62-63mm A/R ~ .73 Sounding more like FP Red... too bad I can't edit the title.
Man, their website pics don't help much, lol. The turbine matches the Green but the compressor could be either from the pics. The nut looks like the red. The compressor blades, not sure, could be either. I'm interested by the way. I'm also interested in the perrin inlet. The FP Green HTA is kind of my "ideal" turbo for these cars. The Red is a little bigger than I'd want without doing head work and big intake manifold. Get a final idea of which it is and let me know.
Haha yeah sounds good, it is a bit confusing. I know you can't identify solely off looks but a big reason I think it is the red (older gen) is because of this thread with the exact same compressor housing/nut/etc: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2305976 I'll let you know if/when I find out more. Not sure if you want to come take a look but your more than welcome to.
Oh and I have gotten an interested party in the inlet, but whoever pays first gets it - I don't hold onto anything (w/o a deposit) because I've done that in the past and then the buyer backs out.. I'll update the thread once anything sells.
