I don't recall seeing any pics of a comparison/side by side shot of these 2 together so what the heck. i just got my Green today from Robert over at Forced Performance via UPS shipping. THANKS TO ROBERT @ FORCED PERFORMANCE FOR A GREAT TURBO!!!!!











this weekend, Al will be here to do custom street tuning so ill post numbers after the tune. mods in my sig.....no tune yet until this weekend! ill keep ya folks updated

 

Nice, i just got mine about 2weeks ago, and put it on last friday. They didn't supply any new gasket huh? Mine for some reason didn't come w/any. Post your mods, mine are in my sig. Going to get a custom road tune soon and hit the track next month. Good luck, and post those numbers when you get a chance.

 

Nice pictures.

 

actually, mine did come with gaskets....only for the oil line to and from the oil pan. yeah ill update my sig with my mods

 

damn that thing looks pretty

 

Nice looking turbo! I plan to go this route also, when I can afford it. Haha. Deffinately post some numbers when you get a chance!

 

Did you already put the turbo on? Did you buy a new discharge pipe or try and use the stock VIII one? Did you bend the stock water lines or buy an install kit?

The most important question, how long did it take you to get it?

 

curious on what kind of numbers you will put down..

 

yes, the turbo went in the day i received it. everything was out already prior to getting the Green. you would need to buy an install kit if the Green is going on an Evo 8. the discharge pipe comes with the kit. and lastly, it took only a week to receive it.

 

sick man!!

 

moosa, time to get yours soon! and afnan's too!

 

Well, it's just a IX housing, so it's the same as the threads showing pics comparing the IX vs the VIII. The compressor housing is MUCH bigger for sure...

 

beautiful turbo.....keep us updated on what kind of power you putting down. Good luck.

 

looks good, congrats and def post #'s/dyno charts when you get them.

 

Did you buy outright or do the exchange? I am assuming you bought outright since you actually HAVE your turbo!!
