I did some searching and could not find a definite answer on this one. I know that the MR came with the 10.5 but did all 2005 Evos come with the 10.5?
Is the Evo 8.5 just reserved for the MR? I can't get a look at the part number on mine so I figured that I would ask.

 

yes

 

Thanks I would have felt pretty stupid if I picked up a 10.5 hotside to find out that I already had one. So much to learn.

 

evo 8.5? do u mean the evo 9.5 se coming out? but yes all 05's and some 04s are 10.5

 

I've seen the MR refered to as the evo 8.5. Check out the turbo flow rate sticky.

 

really cool ill check it out right now!

 

i checked it out and i think they mean only the real JDM MR evo, not our US MR edition! =(

 

yes, even some late 04 evo have 10.5T aswell.
