They look to cross at about 5252 RPM.
Any turbo that "spoons" is alright with me!
I give it a 75% chance that its using a Garrett GT3076R CHRA; so Garrett's ball bearing center housing with the 60mm turbine wheel and 76mm compressor wheel.
The differences off the bat I can spot, as compared to the Garrett drop-ins, is no ported shroud on the compressor housing and the compressor housing looks smaller. Based on what Tomei does with their ARMS turbos, I'd be willing to bet the turbine housing is much smaller than the Garrett's too.

This is true but having used both types over many years I've yet had a BB cartridge fail unlike journal bearing. Much earlier spool with with BB as well. Still for the price I'll be looking at FP.....
FYI, the Garrett turbos on the BMW X5M/X6M are reverse rotation, just too small for Evos.
Some people need to get it together...
