Turbo Suggestions for EVO IX
Turbo Suggestions for EVO IX
everyone's going to tell you to search...there's plenty of threads on this. But it depends what you want from your car and what you'll be doing with it. A good step up from the stocker and a great turbo would be the FP Green, won't get you crazy hp but won't be too laggy.
I have the Green but will be moving up to the Red as soon as the piggy bank is full or I get a bigger allowance. Did you have the stock IX turbo or the JDM magnesium RS turbo? Go Red, if spool is an issue get the Red with a 9.8 turbine housing. The Red is one nasty turbo.

The BBK's compressor flows less air than the Green's compressor(47 lbs. vs. 49 lbs.) doesn't it? We should wait on the BBK's track results before forming any definitive conclusions.

our turbo is 47-48 lbs min.....
you have a couple of good options now for stock housing turbos.... if your goal is to run over 30psi... use the red.... pump gas... 20-29psi range is where ours works best....
We designed this turbo with the street/road racer in mind... we arent a drag racing company.... our turbo was built for power delivery, response.....

If you are talking about turbos that are for sale and being produced, you have a few different options.
First there is the +1 level, the FP EVOWhite, this has a 47lb/min HTA compressor wheel in it coupled to that stock TD05H turbine wheel, best spoolup out of all with the advantage of 5lb/min over the stock turbo.
Second is the +2 level with the FP EVOGreen, this is a 49lb/min compressor with a larger turbine wheel, good spool but 420whp+ capable andf tons of cars running around on it in the 10's, proven product without equal in the market.
Third and probably the most significant of all three is the FP EVORed, 60lb/min with an even larger and improved efficiency turbine wheel. Runs 9's on at least 3 cars and the turbo has only been available for a few months.
There are other vaporware products shown in online catalogs, blogs etc, none commercially available to my knowledge. And more importantly none running any impressive times anywhere. If anyone has seen other stock appearing turbos run fast anywhere please correct me.
