Guys in here Türkey TME turbo is nearly 2000paund=4000$ this price extermly High because we order in England. As a result ın forcedperformance ı found 825$ tme turbo and ı am little worried of this low price.I am thinking myself, is that turbo's reliable?I am worried when ı buy TME and after a few months later the turbo burst,crack or any pal problem?(I am apologize to forcedperformance of this suspicious question because I have no idea at US company's and ı am searching before purchase)

Nah, i have a evo IX stock. I'd have to say that that turbo is one of hte most responsive turbos that i've ever felt. I've had a few turbos to experiment with, and this one suprisingly is a keeper for me.

The photo a gt30 that's in my awd eclipse right now.

Okay, there's a LOT of misinformation floating around here.

I do not believe that the US Spec Evo IX turbo has a magnesium compressor wheel or a TiAL shaft. These features are on the JDM turbos only. I learned this after a ton of research and many phone calls. I was an inch away from buying the US Spec turbo until I learned that they had different guts compared to the JDM units. Refer to this post:

yes, that's correct. In fact, i'm GLAD mitsu didn't include that crap. All the reason why the US turbo is better. If you boost too high with those compressor wheels, they will blow. Refer to the history with jdm mkiv supras vs. american spec mkiv supras. It's a shame these 9 turbos cost so much. It's a excellent turbo for stock, probably the best combo compressor/exhaust housing that mitsu has made. (in terms of response + power)

I love mine, and would never downgrade to a TME. I'd probably go with a garett GT series if I wanted an upgrade.

The potential issues with the compressor wheels were another turnoff for me. I ultimately decided that I didn't want to work a stock turbo so hard all the time, and figured I would ultimately want more topend power without the taper -- so I went with a GT3071.

That might be true on the JDM spec turbos but the USDM EVO indeed has a magnesium compressor cover and the wheels are not TiAL.

I'm running the TME turbo and I love the responsiveness of this turbo. It's an excellent choice for daily driving and reasonable (under 22psi) boost pressures on pump gas. Forced Performance is a straight up company. You have no need to worry about substandard parts coming from Forced Performance. That's a good price for the TME turbo, they usually go around $900-$950. So you're getting a really good deal.

Again, I do not believe this is true. Please reference the Mitsu part numbers within the thread I quoted above. The US-Spec EVO IX does not have any Mg or TiAL components whatsoever. If you have factual information to the contrary, please post it here. What I'm saying is the result of many hours of research and conversations with Mitsubishi USA.
