evo9 turbo
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)

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.

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

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)

The compressor wheel is made of magnesium, GT/RS models only (GSR option).
