mitsubishi made a new turbo for X
GT30 82-trim = 54.3mm
This wheel is very similar to a 77-trim GT30 turbine wheel with better aero. Almost like it's a 77-trim NS111 GT30 turbine wheel. This could get very interesting.
As far as making them for the EVO 8/9, I wonder if this isn't a new turbine wheel and is something that Mitsu uses in a different application. While Mitsu was thinking when they went reverse rotation on the EVO for packaging, it really makes things difficult for the aftermarket turbo upgrades. The EVO X doesn't have that problem though.
MAP is rating it for another 25whp on pump, but only time will tell.
HAHA we have E85 down here too, just not convenient for me since I'd be filling up every-other day with how much I drive! Sooner or later I'll get a tank of it to put down some dyno queen numbers. I do have an E85 base map sitting on my AP...
For a slightly different perspective, looking at the exducers.

Just went to the FP website. The new turbo is listed @ $1700 and the FP line is listed @ 2250+.
Why the price bump? Anything different? Just seems fishy that MHI releases a new turbo and their prices jump.
My mistake...thanks for the quick response
