you can use the 03 licp with any 03 04 05 turbo. if you have an evo 9 turbo then you need the evo 9 licp or some after market licp's fit bouth.

 

thanks i already straighten that out

 

HOLY CRAP!!! SBR actually has an advertisement saying that Mitsu did some "tweaking" and came up with the "Evo MR Turbocharger"??? WTF, yes, that needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY. They even say, "Ever wonder what makes the Evo VIII MR that much faster?" Uh, the MR is _NOT_ faster. Wow, I'm very disappointed that Mike (Huml) would put something like that out in public on their site. That is all completely false, and not only that, but they're selling it for $1399!!!! A stock 05 turbo for freakin $1400 is unspeakable. A new stock IX turbo is a good bit more powerful and is $700. They're basically calling the 05 turbo the MR turbo without realizing that all 05s got that same turbo and that it's only improvement from 03-04 is the 10.5 hotside.

Yes, $400 for an entire set of used parts that includes an 05 turbo + o2 + manifold is a very good price, but why is the 10.5 hotside listed separately? The hotside is part of the 05 turbo. Are you saying you're getting both an 05 turbo _and_ a 10.5 hotside, which means you'll have two 10.5 hotsides?

 

I just emailed Mike Huml to have him fix that awful page. Hopefully, he will, because that is terribly misleading...

 

it actually says assembly...not listing seperate. my bad i will change that.


do you believe me now when I say i found it advertise as better.? am I the jack a$$ or what LOL......you are saying this is all not true?

 

if i get the metal bov would that help me? is it the nine bov i am thinking of?

 

Well, I guess the problem is you based it off that one page instead of reading the tons of information here where this is explained in detail. Yes, all of that is false. If he were referring to the JDM turbos, then maybe it would closer to being correct, but it never says anything about being JDM, and all the text gives details that exactly match the difference between our 03-04 turbos and our 05 turbos. The 10.5 hotside, the single-flapper oval wastegate, and the modified nozzle...all that stuff is exactly what changed from 04 to 05 on ALL models.

I just wonder how you got to that page to begin with when there's such an amazing amount of info right here saying the opposite.

 

The metal stock BOV is the JDM MR DV and stock IX DV. You don't already have an upgrade over the plastic stocker? If not, then get either of those - they are the same thing.

 

well I did but i have went back for the short time being.......i got to that page cause i was just messing around on the net and searched that site of their turbos just to see. I sometime dont go off what people on here say, i used to believe a business over a forum...not anymore lol........

 

Well, the forum is comprised of businesses AND lots of knowledgeable users. If it was just one person saying it, then that's one thing, but when you have an entire forum of mixed people saying the same thing, then you get a better idea...

 

true thanks

 

whats your take on the HKS SSQV version 2....?

 

Seriously, dude...

 

You have upset the Warrtalon...

on another note...

If you want a real turbo upgrade in an Evo shell.....go with the FPEVOGreen turbo....a bit pricy yes, but if you sent it in for a rebuild off an VIII turbo like the one you purchased it will only cost you $1000...and can net you about 400 on pump and 450 on race gas on the right mods...and yes, these are WHP figures....happy tuning!

 

just use the stock BOV, i think it's good for 25-27 psi?? not so sure, but stock BOV are the best!
