FP EvoGreen + AMS VSR?

Anyone have this combination of the FP EvoGreen turbo + AMS VSR intake manifold?

I wander if the AMS VSR is not over keel for the Green Turbo, I intend to put the 65mm TB.

A buddy of mine put the AMS VSR intake on his car when he had the stock turbo and said he could tell a huge difference in top-end power. So, I would say it wouldn't be a bad idea with the green. BTW, try to avoid replacing the TB unless you can deal with its somewhat affecting driveability. I would just get the stock one ported for your setup. Good luck

Thanks,
yes, I would expect top end power, but the question is if there's any loss in the low and mid range Revs?
As to the TB, my intention was to port the stock one for 65mm.

local here experienced the same thing. big top end pull difference on stock turbo. no complaints about low end. should work great with 20g

Any before/after dyno charts? I'm just a wee bit cautious about accepting 'butt dyno' reports from third parties at face (er, or rather at butt) value.

Is that like a 1200 intake manifold? I hope someone do some serious dyno testing on it.

You will lose low end power and that power will be transferred towards the top end.

I wonder if anyone in this forum have personal experience with the Green + AMS VSR? I know the Green is fairly new, but maybe anyone?

That's good. Keep us posted for actual results, but the longer it takes the more the speculation will result.
