That is a significant difference. How much bigger is the FP Green compared to the 9?

FP EvoGREEN is identical in size to Evo 9 turbo.
Differences are in compressor and turbine wheel sizes.
Compressor wheel is older White Rabbit wheel. Turbine wheel is new 11-blade unit.
EvoGREEN flows 47 ft/min... almost as much as some bigger GT30 turbos.
According to Buschur Racing it's much better than GT3071.

Here's a comparison of the EvoGREEN vs. HKS 3076 using California's 91 octane pump gas.

To put this graph into perspective, I'll overlay what my car did with a 3076 kit and 264s
(the 264s performed better than the Revolvers that I had installed initially).
AFR on both are right at 11.1:1. I'm running 12* of timing at redline now.
Notice the increased area under the torque curve.
