well get it tuned look at the numbers. It sounds like a good idea in theory. a little innovation never hurt any one, as long as it worked.
Thanks guy the hybrid it doing well but before tune it i will order the front housing from fp to make it a anti surge then i will tune it and post the result let tell you at first was a crazy idea but it was seating around in thecloset i read a couple of threads talking about a 20g and a 25g with the back of a evo9 so wy not make a hybrid myself with the parts that i all ready have so it came to me the front of the red and the back of the green gus it really does work it pulling very hard and its at 24 psi any suggestions will be appreciate and thanks for reading
I admire your ingenuity. Good luck with your hybrid.
Just to make totally sure...You combined the Red's compressor side(comp wheel & comp housing), with the HTA Green's exhaust side(turbine wheel & turbine housing), right?

However, internally Forced Performance has to cut(machine) the two housings to different dimensions because the Red has a larger compressor wheel and a larger turbine wheel in contrast to the Green.
Yes i used the front of the red and tha back of the green but is not a hta balbearing that what is surprise without being a ballbearing its spools fast and maintine the psi stait at 24 without proping
The Red and the Green have different compressor wheels and their turbine wheels are different too. They share the same OEM MHI housings. That is, externally they look stock.

I am still unsure about which Green we are discussing as there are two basically different and unlike "Green" turbos.
There exists the older, original FP Green. Which is nowadays commonly referred to as the "Old School" Green. This turbo is no longer being made by FP. It had slightly larger than stock IX turbo's comp and turbine wheels.
Now FP manufactures what is referred to as the 73 HTA Green. This is FP's current "Green" offering. This turbo can be fitted with either the stock MHI IX compressor cover, or the optional 84mm Flow Advancement Port compressor housing. The current production 73 Green has a 73mm major diameter HTA comp wheel paired with a 65mm turbine wheel.
