I am going to guess GT55, it looks like it might be based on the Garrett unit.

Not so sure....the fi-x is supposed to be 55 sized...it is clearly larger than the FI9155 in that picture...

He didn't back you up... I asked about the FI9155...specifically what the 55 meant in that. if you look in the first picture, the FI91X is LARGER than the FI9155. Jose said the FI-X (FI91X) is GT55 sized, which means the FI9155 is smaller than a GT55...

They will be 2499 and their is now a LONG list of folks wanting them...lol. We will have more results soon. So far over 1400rwhp was made on a big Inline 6 (4.5L+) and next is a RB26 engine lined up to run one at BIG boost. We'll see what happens

The 4.5 is a 1FZ from Toyota. Billet rods,pistons and custom cams and headwork.

As for the RB26,so far 1397AWHP at 61psi and full boost by 6800rpms or so if I remember the conversation correctly. That is with the FI-91X
