Turbo Setups

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has heard of FP Motorsports before? They are located in Brampton and offer a b16 turbo kit for 1400$. Just wondering if they're trustworthy or if their products are even remotely good!

Thanks

Never liked them. After a load of emails back and fourth, he wouldn't tell me any specs of anything other than 38mm wastegate and t3/t4 turbo.

Kept saying everything is made in US etc...but in reality, how can the whole kit be the price of a quality garrett turbo alone?

from wat i have talked to them and heard is the same as martin. im new to this but they seem to include everything except a fuel pump and injectors, other then that everything else seems to be included in the kit even an ecu with tune (clearly just a tune to what it will run safely with, not full potential).......but as far as finding anyone besides them that have bought and iinstalled one i cant find anyone. Im lookin at boosting in the spring (either that or 240 lol) but i may jut go for it. If i do ill post on here. Ive heard that some guys had problems with fitment of the turbo it having to be clocked and such.

I have a kit on my car. Best kit for the $$$.
Now they "fpm" actually make there own fuel pumps & last I heard every kit is getting 1 free?
There are different options, and they will walk you through.
They have even delivered parts to my door when i was in need.
Also had a warranty issue, well my warranty expired and they still took care of me.
so fpm FTW!

dyno : 296 / 202 - 1999 stock sir at 10psi chrome

P.S. DO NOT GET THERE STREET OIL LINE KIT, GET THERE PRO which has all goodridge lines and russel fittings is awsome kit !

Make their own fuel pumps? Mhm...

If they cannot answer a damn question straight about the compressor/turbine size and say its one of the best brand turbos built in US but not telling me the name...that puts me off. Honestly, how can a whole turbo kit cost the price of a high quality turbo? A garrett turbo or Air research BNIB will cost 1000$ ++. So for less than a quality manifold with a turbo, its cheaper to buy FPM kit?

Cheap people pay twice
