Isn't the IX turbo the same as the VIII, but with a 10.5 hotside?
 
The OEM EVO X turbo is smaller than the VIII-IX turbo, it's a "15g".

I've heard they're SMALLER and called a 15G. The IX turbo's are the best.
Just to correct a little misinformation, the Evo X turbo is NOT a 15G. The Lancer Ralliart model used a TD04 15G while that model was still in production...a 15G is a TD04 compressor wheel and will not even begin to fit on a TD05H turbine.

The Evo X compressor wheel has an inducer that is slightly smaller than an Evo III 16G but has the same 68mm exducer as all the 16G / 18G / 20G wheels. It also has the thin blades and small hub area like an Evo III 16G compressor.

This is from July, you noob!
 
If you really REALLY wanted to use it, you could build a manifold and possibly mount the turbo on the top instead of the bottom. Basically taking the manifold/turbo assembly and flipping it over. You would need to drop it down some and make it a long ram manifold, but it might work. Going to need a custom drain, intake, and downpipe, but if you going to do it all anyway, then knock yourself out. Probably cost you about the same as a new EVO III 16g by the time you are all said and done. If it were me, I would try it just for the hell of it since it was given to you. Tell ya what, I'll pay for shipping and take it off your hands for you.
