Turbo questions - FPGreen for Evo X?

I haven't heard a lot about bolt-on turbos for the X yet. Looks like AGP have been the first to test a larger snail with a 20g. My question to the shops that are working on the X is this ... how easy/feasible will it be to upgrade to:

- 16G Evo IX turbo
- FP Green

How closely does the 15g match the larger turbos? Pics anyone?

With the way the stock setup responds to bolt-ons, I can only imagine that an FPGreen-type setup would be siiiick.

Won't work. The rotation is in the opposite direction.

Ah, so the X turbo is not a reverse-scroll turbo then?

So an old DSM type turbo will work then? Just change the housing?

It sounds like we are going to have more options in the future. Just not older Evo turbos.
