Maximizing the IX Turbo Setup
The Greddy Profec B EBC, get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it. Have I said this enough? With meth I had that POS at 100% DC and only got 29.5 PSI out of that thing. There's better MBC out there that will do a better job making and holding boost IMO!
The difference in price between the stock 9 turbo and a green is $900. Why would you jump through hoops like porting porting instead of just bolting on an FP GREEN?
400whp on an EVO8 stock turbo really isn't that common. In fact its not even all that common on an EVO9. Most of the dyno's I see at the 400whp level are guys that are running an unreliable tune or have BS numbers that don't result in corresponding trap speeds / track times.
Go look at the top 20 stock turbo powered cars in the drag forum. My nine with only TBE and TUNE fits in to that matrix. Where are all these 400whp cars?

How many of these "400whp IX turbo" Evos aren't IX's though? The MIVEC head does make a difference, especially when you are pushing a smaller turbo to its limits.
You didn't mention what fuel you plan to use. On pump, it's not going to happen, and is unlikely even on a Green. Race gas, E85, or meth, and you can get closer.

I plan on using 93 oct + Meth

Hmmm I may have to go fpgreen and still do the porting stuff. I'm all about maximizing the setup to the fullest potential.
I'm not going to argue with you, and I'm not going to hunt all the people down. I'm not saying it is a common thing, but you do see people out there that's putting the power down and their track times reflect. Member RYU is making some killer power/times.
It's possible, on a IX/MIVEC head, with an aggressive tune, on race gas, with a huge boost spike, on a Dynojet, in good weather, before the car got too hot. But if you want that kind of power, it makes sense to be able to do it solidly, consistently, and safely. The Green is the best way to achieve that.

Just make sure you have some good failsafes on that meth.
Man its possible. Im in the same boat your are. I was at 370whp on the stock 8 turbo. My times are in the sig. I now have stock 9 turbo, Ported Intake Mani, 65mm Throttle Body. Meth and Injectors are sitting here waiting to get put on when i go for my tune. I dont know how much im going to come back home with at the wheels, but i know all that **** is going to add more than 30!!!
the profec in particular does not work too well with internal gates and high boost. Most people here will recommend a manual boost controller, like the ones that Buschur sells.
I use a Hallman Pro RX MBC Its one of the single mods that I have on my car that I never had to mess with. I spike 35lbs and it holds 24lbs to redline and thats with the stock WG actuator. I know that people really have a good experience with the Greddy E-01 and the HKS EVC 6.
I can do that ever now and then at night with the profec, but with what I have now 35 PSI is easy.... and best of all the ECU is controlling my boost 
And it's also one I would recommend as well to anyone else asking for a MBC.
