I called Forced Performance and she said that the black won't go to full boost until 5k. I found out that my application would be type 2 oil line.
 
The FP Green says it flow 61 lbs and the Dom 3 only pushes 55 lbs. That green is looking pretty tempting. Especially at $749.99 on FP's website.

I believe you are correct. Where does it spool? I have little to no experience with an FP green other than I know people that have it and like it.
 
Well the rep said 4000 rpm but from what dyno grass I've seen I'm thinking more around 4500. I think in gonna give that one a try. I mean for $750 it isn't a huge mistake if I don't love it.
 
I'm interested since my motor and fuel system will be built for a larger turbo but still running the stock VF39

I have heard good things. It is one of those old tried and true components. The last time I felt an FP green was in an 04 WRX quite some years ago and I remember it was really fast but I don't remember when it spooled. It seems most larger turbos have usable boost from around and between the 4000-5000 mark anyway so six in one.

This was the right turbo to go with my set up. Not only I have more power, but my gas mileage has improved. The Killer B header, lower back pressure from the turbine wheel, and 9.0:1 compression improved the volumetric efficiency while off boost. Engine response is great!

What kind of power did you put down and when does it spool for you?
I really don't know. The dynos computer crashed and the calibration factors were lost. I put down 300/350 on this dyno stock turbo+E85 prior to the crash and the numbers were the same with this turbo. The butt dyno with the new turbo says there is a lot more power as I was thrown back harder to my seat and I scrambled to hold the car steady.
