What kind of gains do you think a 10.5 hotside would be worth on a ~400whp car?

 

I ported, polished, and ceramic coated my factory exhaust manifold and O2 housing. I am getting the TME 6.5 soon to go along with it. Here is the link (56K be patient).

Very nice job on those pieces, how long did it take?

 

Nice! Did you notice a difference?

How exactly do you port/polish this? I've never done anything like that before. Is it pretty easy to install? any how-toos on this?

 

search and you shall find........ i remember seeing a how-to for the install.

 

I recall reading that Al from dynoflash was able to run more timing without knock with the 10.5 hotside than with the 9.8. Just switching to the 10.5 won't make much of a difference unless your car was already pulling a little timing or you retune.

so is it better to go for the TME upgrade, or just upgrade the stock turbo with a 10.5?

 

the results are almost the same except the advantage of the ti wheel on the tme turbo making it spool a tad faster than a stock turbo/10.5 housing.

 

IDK Who or Where but I have heard that the TME will make more power across the board then the 03 Turbo with a 10.5 Housing. Maybe becuase it spools so much faster you get more powerband? IDK.


I am wondering how the 9 turbo will work, anyone see that housing, it looks HUGE compaired to the Evo 8 turbo. I think that will be my next turbo. It looks to me like a TME turbo that can flow more CFM's.

 

MR~ 2005 EVO turbo on 2003. Car is in parts will be on today though if i dont snap another stud

 

When will the Evo IX turbo be available for vendors?

 

I wonder this aswell, Seems like there is going to be a bevy of stickish turbo options in the future and I am excited yet hessitant. I just purchased the 10.5T and am wondering what next little item I am going to "must" have

 

I have a brand new one.....pm me if interested!
