The way I say the tests last night, the turbo is what makes a bigger difference. I couldn't tell for sure last week, but my tests last night confirmed it. Again without going into it too much I would recommend this nine turbo as an upgrade to the 8

You would be similar. The difference would be spool up time. Overall peak numbers would be comparative.
But Yes it would be a well worth upgrade with cams of course. A GOOD SET OF THEM.

to Precision for their work in tuning this car.

For what it's worth, I had been planning an Evo 9 turbo upgrade for my 8 since finding out that it would be a direct bolt-on unit, so with that in mind, stay tuned for a Forge Motorsport Evo 9 Wastegate Actuator!

(yes it's different from the Evo 8 unit.)
