Evo 9 turbo....or.....TME?
Update on this? any reason the 9 turbo is better than the TME turbo? i havent heard anywhere else that it is. is it just the compressor housing thats better on the 9 turbo?
Well, I have an 03 Evo and had swapped out to the 05 MR turbo. Now I have the 20G-9 six blade and let me tell you, you can feel the difference at each stage. However, I am very happy with the 20G-9 so far from turbochargers.com.
There is no surge and the powerband and torque is so much broader than with the Evo VIII turbo. There might be a hint more lag, but none that makes driving a chore. The engine just feels punchier and power stays longer. You will be able to boost higher for longer as well.
I will post dyno numbers as soon as I get a chance to go to the dyno.

btw, what is your current setup w/ this 20g-9-6? thanks
Cal
My current setup is the 20G-9 with the following supporting mods: 272/272 HKS cams, cam gears (-3,-3), Forge UNO boost controller, RRE rally cat, Apex'i WSII catback, WORKS DP, Invidia O2 housing (very nice cast piece), fule pump, 660 cc injectors and ECU+. Everything else is stock. We'll see

I think this is the best O2 housing out there besides the overpriced WORKS unit. I just love it. The thing is huge. lol It comes with its own metal donut gasket. From others that have it I heard that they had no fitmit problems with their downpipes. I happen to have a WORKS DP and the opening is a bit larger than other DP. So I ended up altering the stock donut gasket to use with the O2 housing. It's just a beautiful piece.
Only thing I don't like about is is that it relocates the O2 sensor to a differnt location on the O2 housing which makes running the O2 sensor wire a stretch without somekind of extension harness.
It realy is cast and I found it at SRT Motorsports here in SoCal.

what would be the advantages over the Ebay 02 housing aside from better construction/durability?
