New FP White turbo
Sparky from what I gather from all this, sounds like the White was made for people like you! They want more then a stock IX turbo, but dont want to be spiking 30+psi and running high octane or fuel additives.
I'm very tempted to try this turbo, but seeing as I run E85....running pump gas psi seems like I would be better served with something more Green-ish

Most of my driving is twisty mountain roads at 5000 ft. I value quick turbo spoolup(22 PSI @ 2800 RPM) and transient response. I don´t participate in Drags or road racing.
I was never very happy with the Green/10.5 spoolup characteristics(23# @ 3400), or the Green/9.0(23# @ 3200). So, I may go with a White/9.8 with a JDM RS TiAl turbine wheel. I may even kick the cams back down to S1´s. I realize that it´s just conjecture on my part, but I think that this combo would afford a noticeable improvement in midrange power.
If I had access to E85 then I´d just stick with the Green, as I could run bigger boost on a regular basis.
400 or slightly more on pump with stock-like spool is my holy grail so this seems to be the perfect turbo for me. Wondering how it will compare with a stock IX turbo in terms of extra dyno hp but on the other hand I don't really care - with ceramic coating, migh pressure wastegate, porting and polishing and little extra options like that this will should be a nice little turbo that won't kill driveability or require a whole host of supporting mods.
Heck, it might even work well with the stock injectors for all I know at this point.
Question is - where to buy? Does Buschur have these yet?

FP has them.
I live in a third world country where the best pump gas varies between 89-91 octane. I run this crappy gas and never boost over 24 PSI. Someday I may add a Meth injection kit, but even then I´d never boost over 28#.

Wow, I also live in a 3rd world country - our fuel is about 88MON - I run around 22psi with additives... We at almost 6000ft altitude...
I think your on the right track and understand your needs better than most.
In the same sitution on an Evo 8 I would go HKS/GSC 264intake - 272exhaust Cams
and
Try this FP White Turbo with a 10.5 Hotside but with a EVO400 Ballbearing upgrade...

Good Luck!

The WHITE has a faster spool but the GREEN still better top end. It's just a matter of waiting for the results to see which one best fits what you are going for.
I think the WHITE is going to be a great turbo if it fits your needs.
It's only 1300 too.
I'm waiting for that too. I was suppose to be purchasing a GREEN later this week but this talk has me wondering about the WHITE. As of right now, I'm still going GREEN. I will be running meth.
