Well, if I were to do an Evo9 turbo install on a friend's car next time, I would suggest him to get the ebay kit. I just did my turbo swap yesterday and bought oem parts from MitsubishiParts.net. If I could have saved 40-50% I would. The items on this auction look the same to me, except the 2 exhaust part gaskets. Comes with so much for a reasonable price, all the washers, gaskets, bolts, and lines--only one it's missing is the small paper gasket in between the turbo and the oil return pipe (which is $1.xx at MitsubishiParts.net). And for a frame of reference, the turbo outlet j-pipe itself is $45 cheapest online (new). Oem lines and bolts rust and get caked up with old burnt residue anyways, so it's not like oem is that great.

 

So I just ordered the j pipe from mitsu and it was $76.11. It's part number1515a057 right??? I hope I got the right pipe

 

You didn't want to save some money and go with Ebay or MitsubishiParts.net?

 

Good info

 

Anyone tried to post real difference between EVO8 and EVO9 turbos? some pics?

 

I have pics at home, but here's a dyno chart showing my gains:
