1st gear boost hit 20.71 psi at 6059 rpm, at 7500 rpm the boost was 20.62 psi. AFR's were between 11.8 and 12.6! Much leaner than the stock turbo.
2nd gear boost hit a high of 21.99 psi at 6578 rpm, at 7477 rpm the boost was 20.71 psi. AFR's were very flat, but lean at 12.3 - 12.4.
3rd gear boost hit a high of 22.44 at 6051 rpm, at 7145 rpm the boost was 21.53 psi. AFR's were once again very flat at 12.4:1.

There's a lot of hype around the Green. I just wonder if other designs are getting overlooked that deliver comparable performance at a lower price tag. The 6-blade wheel was dropped by Buschur for business reasons, not performance reasons. Now the 6-blade 20G VIII turbos are readily available from turbochargers.com at a much lower price than the FP Green (less than half the cost). I thought these results were worth a second look. An 11.3@124 at 22-23 psi with a bolt-on turbo is pretty stellar any way you look at it.

I bought squarely into this discussion and these results, which is exactly why I bought the turbo. The turbo did not deliver satisfactory performance. I dickered with it for a few months. Others reported the same observations, and we've all moved on. I'm just relaying this to you for your benefit, not mine. I can't vouch for anything except my own first-hand results. You're welcome to go buy one and take your chances. Don't forget to read the discussion whereby Robert from FP tested this turbo and reported his observations.

I didn't see subsequent testing by FP. Did that show something different?
Someone needs to write a wiki on all of the variants of the Evo 16G turbos, complete with test results. It would be very interesting and useful. Maybe I'll do that...

I have the 20g-IX-6 in my car currently. I got it for a super price (Like really super) so I couldnt pass it up.
It was a rediculous improvement over the stock VIII 9.8 hotside turbo that the 03-04 came with stock. The car makes more power everywhere
Other than that I cannot comment on whether its better or worse than a standard 16g-IX or 20g-IX-5 as this is the only other turbo Ive had in there other than the VIII 9.8 stocker.
Soon i'll be sporting a ETS set up so screw it
