hi guys, I would like to replace mine to Ti T.M.E. Turbocharger.
but I don't know what others I need to get..
I know head gesket, but don't know whhich to go for...
also header....
I'm planing to run it on stock engine...also planing to keep the boost to 20 psi or below... ( I will not go anything over 20psi)

which setup is good? any ideas??

thank you guys.

 

I'm not sure I understand, but, if you have an Evo IX, then you may not want to go to the 6.5 TME turbo. It might be reverse engineering. Your stock IX turbo has a better compressor side than the TME.

The TME due to its titanium/aluminide, lightweight turbine wheel, may spool a bit quicker than the USDM IX turbo, but it ain't worth the expense and hassle to swap it out for a TME. In addition, you might lose a couple HP in the process.

 

If your heart is set on quicker spooling, then you might call Blouch Turbo, Forced performance, or Turbochargers.com, and ask them what they charge for electron beam welding a TiAl turbine wheel onto your IX rotating assembly. That is, send them your turbo and have them put a lightweight turbine wheel in it...thus, giving you what is A.K.A. a TME-9 turbo.

But it seems like a bit too much trouble for such limited returns. In the end you won't get any increase in power whatsoever, just a slight reduction in spool time.There are other bolt-on options that should, at least potentially, net you an increase in horsepower, such as, the 20G-9-5, or the new and as yet unreleased 20G-9-5 LT, and thirdly, the less publicized WR-9.
