I am thinking about getting an FP green turbo for my wife's Evo IX, but am not sure if I can justify the cost. When comparing this turbo to something like a GT35R turbo, here is some cost data for the turbo alone:

FP green w/o Evo IX turbo exchange: $1700
FP green w/Evo IX turbo exchange: $1000
Garrett twin scroll GT35R: $1700

These prices can obviously fluctuate given vendor sales and market demand. Anyways, if you have an Evo IX you can simply bolt-on an FP green, tune and go on your way making xx more power than your OEM Evo IX turbo. If you purchase a twin scroll GT35R (or pretty much any aftermarket turbo for that matter), you will probably need new:

IC piping (or modify your existing piping)
down-pipe (or modify your existing down-pipe)
external wastegate and dump-tube
aftermarket BOV

You could spend another $1000 or more on those items alone. So, an aftermarket turbo (aside from a FP green) will require you to modify/swap out certain parts and obviously cost you more money, but from a cost-benefit perspective I believe the HUGE gains realized by a GT35R would easily justify the additional cost.

Thoughts?

 

but does the wife need a 35R ? lol.... you will need injectors with both setups as well

 

find out what the wify wants! Spool, WHP, WTQ, top end, bottom end, what???

 

injectors . . .
spend over 1000 . . . .

For the turbo alone 1700, try looking into a kit. If you're looking into a twin scroll setup price is going to be well over 5k with everything needed. if you're not running race fuel the 35r isn't going to be better on the street or unless you're running over 30psi.

 

gt35 for $1700?

 

well if you want a COMPLETE turbo kit than E.....T......S is the way to go!

 

You can't compare these turbo's or prices. A WHOLE 35R kit is going to cost you atleast $3600. The numbers these turbo's produce is way different.

FP Green is just an upgrade from an evo 9 turbo and can be better compared to a 50trim.

I apologize for the premature post. I obviously forgot the fact that you'd need an aftermarktet turbo manifold as well. Please excuse my temporary ignorance.

 

My opinion - I don't want the baby girl goin that fast! stock is good man. I would put her in a Jetta or something.

 

I am sure they have a very nice kit, but I would rather go with the Full-Race setup...sorry...just a little bias here:

 

Fuc* a Jetta, I'd rather be drivin my Civic

 

^^hahahah

 

You laugh, but the Civic (our third car) is faster than a stock Evo IX.

 

if wify wants the bottom end then well use the little green. if she likes it up top well pull out the big gun and call him a 35r. if she like's it bouth. WAIT ok im drifting off track. g/l my time is up

 

you are the coolest!! will you trade me?
