is it possible to just bolt on a 20 g turbo with like a full exhaust and tuning with like intake and i dunno what else would i need?

 

Hmmm? Is this a loaded question? I take it that you are refering to either the 20G-LT, the 20G-9-5, or the 20G-9-6, all of which bolt up to the stock Evo exhaust manifold and downpipe. You'll need a few bits to connect the compressor outlet to the LICP if you have an Evo VIII, but it's minor stuff.

Also the turbo's oil and coolant lines need to be those found on the IX. So, if you have an VIII there is a little fiddling that needs doing. If, on the other hand you have a IX, then the 20g's will bolt right up.

 

Yes, it'll bolt right up...

 

what kinda numbers can be expected on a safe 21 or-23psi

 

you can do front mount,injectors,cams,clutch and alky

 

is this thread really happening???

do a search

 

A 20G will make crap numbers with those mods, its shown they only really help out when FULL bolt-ons are utilized. That means, FMIC, piping, cams, full exhaust, 02, ported mani, tuning, etc.

 

who are you talkin to? im fully bolted

 

Uh, my guess is he's talking to the original poster who wants to throw away $1800 on a mod he isn't ready for and will get minimal/no real gains from because he's taking short cuts.

 

Umm I wonder who... maybe the original thread poster?

 

We recommend everything included in our Stages 1-4 and a clutch before doing a turbo upgrade. If you throw the turbo on without the correct supporting mods not only will it not perform close to its capability but there is a good chance of hurting the car.

Just throwing a upgraded turbo on the car is not the answer. Once you actually open up the stock turbo you may not even want to upgrade it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'll be glad to help.

Take care!

 

yeah i agree get all the bolt ons. i dont think u necessarily need a clutch though.

im on stock clutch, holds like a champ.

 

Launch it a few times.

 

^^ +1.....got my used 08...i was on top of the world....3 launches later

 

oh i agree that would kill it, but i never launch it, let the turbo do the talking.
