Should mention the China one is a billet wheeled turbo as well. Also I am going to test open down pipe and full exhaust. Same boost levels

FAKE NEWS. The fact that it's billet doesn't matter as much as the geometry of the wheel and its blades.
If you can post some photos of that wheel it might be interesting to compare to the GTX design.
I wouldn't say fake news really. It being billet allows more precise and like you said different and better wheel designs. The billet wheels almost always make more power because of design changes they make from the cast versions.
I get your point though. It being billet, if of the EXACT same design as the cast unit, has no real effect on performance.
You know he is an engineer for Garrett, right?

What I will add is that the influence of "billet" gets grossly over-inflated in marketing and bench racing.
