red vs green

Can someone lay down the main differences between the fp red and the fp green. So heres what i know or at least have read, the red will make higher boost but the green will spool faster.

Thanks guys.

RED:
NEW to the FP RED for the Evolution IX Line up is our own custom 84mm Flow Advancement Port compressor cover. You can now choose the new FP 84mm Flow Advancement Port cover or stick with the standard 64mm Stock Appearing compressor cover. The larger inlet configuration helps reduce huffing and surging sounds that are often reported with these larger stock format hybrids when lugging the engine at low RPM and high boost pressure but perhaps even more useful is the way it helps feed the splitter blades of the compressor wheel resulting in increased flow. This larger inlet also increases the volume of the intake air pipe and reduces vacuum at the inlet of the turbo. Additionally the volute of the cover is now exactly tailored to the HTA wheel aero for the best performance possible.



GREEN:
The HTA update to the FP GREEN for the Evolution IX has been over a year in the making... a year well spent considering multiple wheel sizes and combinations, not to mention countless hours spent datalogging and dyno testing these combinations.

FP reviewed tons of logs from no less than 20 pressure sensors and temperature sensors within the turbocharger system as well as turbine speed and mass flow to verify that this new incarnation of the FP GREEN 73HTA would exceed the performance of every, any and all other available turbo upgrades for the EVO 4-9 in the up to 55lb/min category.

This unit features the 54lb/min 73mm HTA compressor wheel and a new 65mm revision of the high efficiency 67mm turbine wheel used in the FP Red for the perfect combination of power and rapid spool.

Since it's debut in 2006, the FP GREEN for the Evolution IX has been the standard that the world uses to compare against when considering turbocharger upgrades for the EVO 4-9. Companies as far away as China, Taiwan, and Australia have tried to duplicate or improve on the performance of the FP GREEN turbochargers. Many directly comparing their units to the FP GREEN turbo, some even copying the color coding to confuse consumers. This standard of performance is now improved into the "perfect pump gas turbo" with an increased power capability, greater efficiency, less turbine back pressure, more options for wastegate opening pressure, and all of this with FP to back up the unit for the length of the warranty.

im not trying to be a jackass but this thread is going to get locked very fast. there are a TON of threads about red vs green already, you just have to do a search.


for what its worth, green spools really quick....red spools a few hundred rpm later (depending on your setup) but the red has the potential to make a lot more power

All that info posted above is for the Evo 8/9 turbos (which is way larger than the red/green for the X).
