is it a 20G wheel? or a Green wheel?

cool, yeah I've got the PPI 65m tb and ported intake on my wish list also and eventually the BR head then I'll feel like I've pretty much done all I can possibly do to reduce intake and exhaust restrictions.
The turbine wheel will be either a 16g or the Green turbine wheel. The "20g" series always used the 16g turbine wheel with a different compressor wheel (either 5-blade custom wheel or reverse scroll 20g wheel).

Thanks Paul. I'm thinking back to dsm days when we had/have the TDO6/5 turbine wheels. Are these the wheels being used in the 20G Evolution applications? If what you're saying is correct, then my wheel seems to be that of a green. My main source of comparison in this case is the number or blades on the wheel. Loking at the picks in post #2, my turbo is the same. But, I can't close the chapter until a EVO-20G-9-5 turbine wheel shows up. I will try to source a digi and take a pic.

Alan678. NICE PICS!! We have confirmed that the 20G-9LT has 11 blades on the turbine wheel. We still need a pic of the turbine wheel of a 20G-9-5. As one member (PVD04/post 17) said. the 20G will use the 16g turbine wheel. This is what we need to confirm, hopefully with a pic.
BTW. no luck with the digi. I should go and buy one as I promised myself for black friday...and some comp speakers.

From the FP site:
The EVOGreen Model turbocharger is a direct bolt-in upgrade for 2006 Lancer Evolution cars and can also be used on earlier EVO4-8 models with the EVO8 turbo installation kit (required to avoid contact with the starter). The installation kit is required for 2003-2005 year model EVO8 and includes the compressor outlet pipe, oil lines, water lines, and all required gaskets.
This turbo appears externally to be a 2006 EVO9 turbocharger. It uses the larger diameter EVO9 compressor housing and bearing housing found in the 2006 models. It uses our 700cfm 69-5 billet compressor wheel and our enlarged 11 blade turbine wheel. This combination of increased compressor and turbine flow results in a very broad powerband and stock like boost response while still being capable of well over 400whp.
This turbocharger operates very well in the 20-22psi range on pump gas, and 24-28psi on E85 and 26-32psi on C16. Customers who desire quicker spool up and don't plan on running boost higher than 22psi can benefit from selecting the 9.8cm2 housing. The penalty for running the 9.8cm2 housing is much less obvious when coupled with the larger 11 blade turbine wheel and the increase in back pressure from the smaller housing is negligible. To this end we are trying to obtain the very rare 9.0cm2 housing to gain even better bottom end power and response - we'll update on this topic in the future.
