i have an 05 evo 8..see mods in signature. i am looking for a good bump in power but want to maintain close to stock spool time. the car is a daily driver. i would be running 93 octane only. from what i have read the fp evo green turbo

seems to fit my requirements. from what i have gathered in addtion to this i would need a fuel pump, 850 injectors and obviosly a re-tune (plan to keep stock cams). my question is there any other turbo comparable to this turbo or does this, based on what i am looking to do, seem like a good choice.

also will stock cams pose a problem with this set up or are aftermarket required. what sort of gains should i expect with this set up over my current one?

 

search button the thy friend. and if u ask me, u have much more moding b4 u want to do a turbo upgrade.

 

will do some more searching but besides cams what else is there..not interested in meth or alcohol in jection or open element air intake...

 

I would do some more searching.

As for what else there is to do to gain more power on the stock 05 turbo? Get a good set of Upper Intercooler Piping, Lower IC piping, new aftermarket intercooler, a good o2 housing.

You will make more power on a 20g-lt(EvoGreen) for sure, on the stock cams. Aftermarket cams are not a must, but would be a great addition. If i were you, i would get the stuff i mentioned above, then get some good cams, then get the larger turbo. You will have better gains if you go this route. Spool up will be about the same as your stock turbo. If you go this route, expect to be in the 350whp+ range really easily.

Also, look into either getting a good drop in air filter, or look into a solid pipe intake with a cone filter.

Get the 20GLT. I'm very happy with it. It really does have a stock like spool, and you can really feel the difference from the stock.

 

thanks guys for the help. also per lancershop.com this turbo does not require a turbo kit to fit the evo 8.. does that seem right?

you do need the kit for that turbo

 

thanks!

 

I was under the impression you can send your actuator to FP along with your stock turbo and it is a bolt on deal assuming you have the minimal bolt ons.

 

with 20g you'll be happy, I know I'am you add alky or race gas, I luv every minute of it, that turbo spools like stock turbo. I got 20g 6 blade but when it takes a **** *hope not* will get 20g LT -btw iam on 28psi with alky. I put 50-60 miles to work..

 

It's bolt on, but you still need the installation kit.

 

aaah the old turbo selection question...Search it out and see what suites you best. The 20g is a great turbo.

 

why do you want to upgrade the turbo when you still got at least 40+whp left on the table? for 1700$ I would rather see you do cams, e-bay o2, decat, ported manifold, LICP, drop in filter and custom tune. This should give you more power than a green turbo upgrade without additional lag

 

The Upper Intercooler Pipe and new aftermarket FMIC will do you no good for more power on the stock turbo. Don't waste your money on these.

Why are you getting a new turbo before cams? This seems backwards to me...
