Description of White Rabbit Turbo from Forced Performance's website:
This turbo is the result of the last 2 years of product development. Our goal was to produce a bolt-in, stock appearing turbocharger for the EVO4-8 platform that outperformed the stock turbo.
We went through many prototypes, some pretty poor to be honest, before satisfying our initial design criteria.
The turbo had to spool up like a stock turbo and not give up any bottom end torque. The turbo had to sustain boost in the top end without dropping off, at least enough to maximize power on standard 93 octane fuel.
The White Rabbit is the first level of "bolt in" upgrade turbocharger for the EVO4-8. This turbocharger is not built from a TME. The TME uses the older style "double flapper" 10.5 exhaust housing. The FPWR turbocharger uses the newest "single flapper" revision of the 10.5 housing found only in the 2005 MR. The FPWR provides an advantage over the stock turbocharger without giving up ANY of the boost response of the stock turbo. Retaining stock like spool up was the first priority for this upgrade. The second priority was to deliver additional airflow capacity so that the characteristic top end drop off of the stock turbo was eliminated. These two design constraints were met while at the same time allowing for high boost operation that significantly improves power over the stock turbo at boost pressures above 22psi. Some instances realized a 70+whp increase at 7000rpm compared to the stock turbo.
This sounds easy enough, but it actually turned out to be one of the tougher challanges we have ever faced. Mitsubishi has done a very good job with the stock turbo and identifing the existing shortcomings was not easy work.
It is noteworthy to point out that the addition of our HP wastegate actuator to this turbocharger allows for a level 24-25psi boost pressure throughout the entire RPM range without drop off. The HP actuator is not a standard part of this turbo build since some customers do not utilize alch or meth injection or run race gas.

Forced Performance no longer sells the turbo, so I can't give you a link to their website. A Google search is where I found the Forced Performance info on another website. I can't tell you the flow rate of the turbo, but there are threads on EvoM with some numbers. Sorry can't help more.
the white rabbit uses the same compressor wheel as the FP Green but with a smaller hotside. Similar to better spool but doesnt breathe as good on the top end.
This is a GREAT turbo for autoX / road course action.....
good luck on the sale.

there are two variants the WR8 and WR9. The WR8 has the Evo 8 compressor housing, upgraded compressor wheel (same as Green), 10.5 hotside housing, and stock turbine wheel. The WR9 adds the Evo 9 compressor housing. FP will upgrade WR to a Green for about $900 BTW.
