Turbo questions - FPGreen for Evo X?
I haven't heard a lot about bolt-on turbos for the X yet. Looks like AGP have been the first to test a larger snail with a 20g. My question to the shops that are working on the X is this ... how easy/feasible will it be to upgrade to:

- 16G Evo IX turbo
- FP Green

How closely does the 15g match the larger turbos? Pics anyone?

With the way the stock setup responds to bolt-ons, I can only imagine that an FPGreen-type setup would be siiiick.

Won't work. The rotation is in the opposite direction.

Ah, so the X turbo is not a reverse-scroll turbo then?

It sounds like we are going to have more options in the future. Just not older Evo turbos.
