did not know that...you indeed do learn something new everyday

P.S. someone might wanna alert buschur to that then cuz thats where i got the price.

 

lol warralontish, i like that, no its all good, it wud make no sense if i eventually was goin for say 500 hp but my goal is just 300-320 whp

150$ for the kit not bad at all, i wonder if i can find an ix turbo that some1 is trying to sell on here for cheaper, but then again i never ever trust a used turbo

 

you can make that withou upgrading your turbo. do you have any mods yet or are you still stock?

 

i just have a mail in flash boost controller set at stock level, and drop in, after x mas bushur tbe with magnaflow and fuel pump and custom flash by al

 

get your exhaust and dont upgrade your turbo. take the money that you were going to use to upgrade your turbo and buy cams and tune it again and turn up your boost a little bit and you should make your desired whp.

 

The IX intake housing is bigger and the compressor wheel are magnesium.

For more info, contact Gruppe-S. They installed it on one of the customers car. Give them a ring.

 

ya u think thats a better route? how much are hks 272? like 1000? and isnt iinstallation a lot for cams? i sure know i cant put them in lol

and gruppe-s thanks for the info

 

the compressor wheel is not magnesium. its the same as the evo 8 one. the only difference is that the compressor housing is bigger on the 9.
i am opening up an evo 9 turbo tomorrow and will compare it to the evo 8 one in my car.

 

Where can I find proof of that?

 

GPtourer, search around - several have added a IX to an 05 and made 20whp or so, verified by dynos and track improvements.

Rcheung, the turbine housing is not bigger, just the compressor housing. The 10.5 you mention IS the turbine housing - 06s have the same 10.5 turbine housing as the 05s.

OP, you can easily make that small amount of power with your stock turbo - no need to upgrade. In fact, you can make far more power than that easily without touching your turbo.

No magnesium internals - that is false unless referring to a JDM version.

 

allrite so i guess no upgrade is encessary thanks 2 every1 for the input

 

Even $150 for the "install kit" is a rip-off. It can be purchased from MitsubishiParts.net for about $80 shipped.

Like others have said, there are many mods you can do before you upgrade your turbo...alky alone will net you over 20whp...

 

PD1, which one of those is the compressor outlet pipe?

 

That's the most expensive piece:
