With the FP green, you are going to probably going to have to get some stronger connecting rods, springs/retainers, etc. to get the full potential out of the FP green. Head studs and the balance shafts removal would be a good idea too, if going this route. If you don't have the desire to put all this extra work in, or don't have the cash for it, I'd suggest you go with the Evo III 16G, since it is capable of making as much power as the FP Green (without the proper supporting mods).

Alot of DSMers always have it in their heads that have need the biggest turbo possible to be fast on the streets and at the drag strip. 99% of the time, the Evo 16G suits these people perfectly.

My 2 cents...
a little misinformation....an FP Green is VERY streetable, it comes on very smooth, and packs a punch like mike tyson, full boost no later than 4000-4100'ish, and will not make enough power to blow your stock bottom end unless you are running insane boost with some huge cams, however, it will require a front mount, at least a 3" exhaust, injectors, pump, afpr, a fuel tuning apparatus, guages, datalogging, and basically every other conceivable bolt-on...a 16G you can get away with the basic bolt-ons and still run good....
