is this a direct bolt on to the stock one? and for the money is there any reason to switch a evo8 turbo with an evo 9 turbo? thanks, ps i would do a search but im on my phone at work.thanks in advance

 

its a direct swap plus you have to buy other lines to make the switch. and the evo 9 turbo is better because it already comes with the 10.5 hotside and the evo 8 has the 9.8. it also has been pruven that the evo 9 turbo makes more horsepower then the evo 8 turbo.

 

The 03-04 turbos came with a 9.8 hotside. O5 evos came with the 10.5 hotside. The IX turbo is equivalent to the 05 turbo in size except it has a bigger turbine housing.

 

well since its made by Mitsu, for Mitsu i'd go out on a limb here and say its a direct bolt on... you'll just need to order the oil line kit from a performance shop or bend your lines. the Evo IX turbo has been "revised" for better performance. most people with miminal mods are swapping out the turbo and seeing a gain of 20 whp with less than stock spool.

 

damn you guys type fast! LOL

 

imho, definately not worth the money unless you plan on never upgrading to a bigger turbo than that.

 

didnt know that about the 05 having the 10.5. guess you learn something new everyday.

 

reallly hmmm i say thats worth it, i have an 05 so i have 10.5 already but that def sounds worth it to me, how much would all this cost me? not including install thanks fellas

 

Ppl that have 05s and have added this turbo have seen an additional 25whp gain.. Good upgrade if u plan to stick with the stock turbo

 

Go BR 20G-LT or go home!

 

i second that but im also waiting on the 50 trim Buschur's coming out with.

 

ya i never plan on upgrading the turbo to a bigger size, im gonna stay with drop in, tbe, fuel pump, mbc n custom by al and im good to go, thanks os much for the quick *** repsones i love this site lol

 

$700 for a new turbo...
$270 for the install kit...
$xxx for installation if you dont do it yourself...

I'm sorry but how do you see that as being worth it? Do you plan on stopping at that turbo? If you ever intend on getting a bigger turbo thats 700 bucks that can go toward it. Spend the money on cams or other supporting mods.

 

well in that case i agree on going with the cr 20g LT for sure. I hope I didn't come off too Warrtalon-ish .

 

FYI the install kit can be had on turbochargers.com for 150 bucks.
