Why the sad face? I have one, it's going to be installed this friday along with a Invidia O2 housing.

I'll post again once it's installed.

6 bladed design I believe. Speed Element sells them....I think there is a thread under the vendor forums for sale section that has pics of it. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=199439

I dont know what's in your budget, I would consider getting a bigger turbo. A GT series turbo.

The guys at turbochargers.com assured me it was a 6 blade...i like the idea of spooling quicker with the bigger turbo...

The vendors says this:



EVO IX Turbocharger w/ 10.5 hotside - $829 Free Shipping!!
Spec: features a revised 10.5 hotside, and the brand new EVO IX compressor housing. This compressor housing was designed to address issues with compressor surge as well as flow limitations found in the EVO VIII.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


and I say: Don't the Evo 9 turbo already comes with the 10.5 hotside? I am not asking you, I am just saying that the advertizing is redundant, the price is $130 above of some sources I know.
