evo9 turbo upgrade for an evo8?

hi i'm still new to figuring out the evo's and how everything works, but i was wondering if putting a 20G turbo from an evo9 into an evo8 is a smart investment? are the gains really that noticeable?

on a side note, if you had a stock evo8 turbo and wanted to upgrade for street use, what would be my best route? I already have an upgraded intercooler, upper intercooler piping, manifold, turboback exhaust, cams, and the ECU flashed. thanks in advance guys.

Unless this vendor is selling things under the wrong name, i do see a 20g evo ix turbo here is the link and description
JDM EVO IX 20G TURBOCHARGER
Rated at 450HP, the Mitsubishi EVO 20G is the largest turbocharger to fit the stock manifold of an EVO.It features a 10.5 hot side and utilizes a stock O2 outlet. While the compressor housing on the 20G is the same as that on the EVO iX turbo, the compressor itself is significantly larger, allowing more potential power increases. Compared to the EVO VIII turbo, the 20G is designed to optimize airflow and has less issues with compressor surge than its predecessors.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

yeah from what i can tell its a 6 blade. supposedly its the same thing as the stock evo9 turbo with a larger compressor. the only thing i'm worried about is if i bought this would it fit to an aftermarket manifold because mine is customed for my spray kit.
