i know it wont be a HUGE power differance but what will I come to expect in terms of spool times, and power increase?

I searched a little, and didnt find the awnsers I was looking for

Mike

It suppose to be a huge difference on power in paper, I still want to see someone showing us the real power upgrade on the dyno though.


Carlos

even on the IX its supposed to make a huge differance?

I would do a 50 trim, but I like the Idea of just a direct swap?

does the TME come in a 5 blade design or only 6?

Very little difference - certainly not worth the cost. Also, the Ti/Al version isn't offered by BR due to surging. I'm also guessing you're getting the 6-blade, since that's not from BR.

Sell me your stock turbo, though!

I have the FP White Rabbit and am happy with it, but my car was an '03, so it was a bigger difference for me than it would be for you. I changed too many parts at once to give an honest before and after, but I can say that it is MUCH stronger on the top end and the stocker was clearly running out of steam.

What mods do you have now? There is plenty of power found elsewhere on the IX

bump if anyone knows the answer... or a Evo 8.5 Ti turbo versus a 9 Ti turbo...

Well, JUN got 493hp and 409tq with the 20G in this past issue of Turbo. Of course they had a list of other parts to help. But it seems that turbo can make some good power.

im gonna be running a 50/50 meth kit, should I just do a 50 trim, or a gt30r

Either a 50 trim or a good GT30 (there are many, so you can't just say GT30R) would be better, imo. Don't run 50/50 meth - run 100% meth.

And again, sell me your stock turbo ASAP, kthx.

i didnt think many kits can hold 100% meth, plus i love in south florida the water cooling would be a plus i would think

You didn't think many kits could hold 100% meth? Say what? The meth cools you, too. Although water will cool better than meth, you make more power with 100% meth or 100% denatured alcohol due to the effective octane. Where did you hear that kits couldn't do 100%? Almost all of us do 100% meth/alky...

when I get my kit ill sell you my turbo

Ok, now hop to it!

right from the horse's mouth, i hear the seals wear over time, maybe i should stop believeing everything i read,
