This raises another question......what about FP making some larger hotsides for those wanting more? I'm sure there would be plenty of demand from both future buyers as well as those that already have a green. Just because you put a slightly bigger A/R on the hotside, doesn't always mean you're going to have a laggy turbo. Look how fast it already spools. How laggy could it be with say a 12cm hotside?

What is the nozzle area (cm2) taken from anyway?
All I can think of is the area in the throat of each scroll for example: 6.1 cm diameter for outboard scroll, 6.4 cm for inboard scroll, and 1 cm between them. These are the dimensions I got on an old 9.8 turbine housing I have and the math calculated to 9.81 cm2 so this might be it, anyone?
With careful dremel work I brought it up to 11.28cm2 but still hesitant to install it at this time

Is the return worth the investment?
FP isn't going to produce larger hotside or coldsides. For three years they didn't even try to pull that off. Every healthy upgrade less the LT/GREEN was the result of mitsu releasing a better part.
The 9 and 20G turbos are already darn good. You can always port and polish parts to eek out a little bit more but you will still be limited to 50LBS of airflow with the current parts.
I would start looking at motor displacement before going off the deep end in search of 5whp to recover.
