Not usually, though it'd be easy enough to put a WR compressor wheel into an Evo9 turbo to create a WR9. Not sure why anyone would want to do that though, unless they had an 06 Evo.

 

ok all i know is that i purchased the turbo brand new from buschur. wtf is going on. u guys are getting me concerned. others say there 20g-9 has 6 blades? please help.

 

Why are you getting concerned? You bought it from Buschur right. I don't know why everyone has to speculate all of the time. Dave himself has demonstrated what the EVO9-20G can do, and has attached tons of dyno sheets and given alot of info for it. This turbo has potential and will be seen as people put them on their cars and run them at the track.

 

The White Rabbit lives again

 

Deadbetrec,
I got my 20g-9 this week, it has 5 blades.. feel better now?

lol..

n

 

i do but y do some have 5 blades and others have 6? which one is better? they are going to flow differently.

 

Eh if it's the blades i'm thinking about I have 6?

 

Hard to tell from the pictures, but does the turbo outlet pipe which comes with the install kit have a nipple like the stock pipe?

 

deadbetrec,
only Dave can answer that one.

 

Nope it sure doesn't

 

we are speculating because 5 blades are different than 6, and all those dyno graphs posted don't distinguish between the 2. No one in the know has commented on one being better than the other, or being the same for that matter. So we have to guess until someone fills us in.

That being said, I agree with you that I wouldn't be all that concerned. I don't think DB wouldn't sell an inferior product than his previous generation. If anything, this new turbo has probably shown similar or better results on the dyno.

I wouldn't be concerned but definietly curious.

 

i do agree with u 110% that david would never sell a product inferior to an old one. but i am very courious now and it has all my attention. this is mine with 5 blades.

 

if u ask me, the intake on both turbos look different. mine looks marginaly bigger and has a taper to it. mine is also polished on the inside. humm? wow david or jarrod needs to chime in soon.

 

Can you just call them and find out? I would call for you but I'm at work right now.

 

being an engineer working on designs all day at a government facitity i cant call right now either. sorry.thats y i made a thread about it, but it got closed for some odd reason.
