Because you pay with a lot of green to get the green...

Bend over and take it like a man...

And that is probably the most truthful answer yet

I have found hints that the HTA turbo's got their names through a version number that forced performance assigned to each aspect of the compressor wheel, kinda like secret notes about each wheel. Perhaps the green got its designation in a similar manner given the past history.

Its not that expensive. It spools fast like a stock turbo, and puts out more power. Also, it looks like a stock turbo also.
