I'm planning on buying a used EVO 9 turbo and would like to know how to identify it has a 9 vs. 8. I know I've seen a thread before but I couldn't find it. Thanks.

 

TD05HR-16G6C-10.5T engraved on the turbo. and of course the obvious visual difference like the larger compressor cover.

 

that or if its Brand new like mine it doesnt say that.

The housing is bigger on intake, and the hotside will have a single flapper

 

The 2005 EVO8 hotside has a single flapper as well.

The 2005-2006 hotside is the same

The 2006 compressor housing (cold side) is different than the 2003,4 & 5 compressor housing.

 

it says 10.5

 

mine doesnt say anything on it but i know its the evo9 turbo i got it brand new from Ravspec.

 

So does every 2005 turbo.

 

both 05-06 are 10.5 hotsides.

 

05 and 06 arnt they the same turbos.

 

i would expect he knows the housings are differant a s s clowns

 

anyone have picture diffrence's?

 

they're saying the hotsides are the same size.

Also late model 04's have the 10.5

 

If by late model 04s you mean 05 models made in 04 you are right. Otherwise, there are not any 04 models that came with the 10.5 HS stock.

To the OP, search for pics. The compressor housing is noticably larger.

yes, also 04 MR's

 

also keep in mind that the early 10.5 were made as dual flappers as well.
