FP Evo Flow Advancement Port Cover
Some people have actually taken off the compressor covers of both turbochargers and measured the wheels. Consensus is, the USDM EVO VIII and IX have the same compressor wheel.
That turbo you are pointing out is the magnesium wheel version, NOT what we get here in the USA. It could potentially be a different size (pretty sure it is not though) and it would still have nothing to do with the USDM IX turbo.
Besides that, you can clearly tell the pictures are taken from different angles/distances so the scale is skewed. Also, the diffuser is part of the compressor HOUSING and not the compressor wheel. Increasing the diffuser means absolutely nothing when talking about the compressor wheel. It simply means they used a larger compressor cover, similar to a T04B vs. T04E.

I was one of the last that bought one for the stock 9 for $250 like 6 months ago and I believe they dont make them anymore for the stock 9. I'll be selling mine in a few months. Going 25G!
