Just picked up a IX turbo for my 05VIII. I searched but couldnt find any data on how much more hp a IX turbo makes over an VIII with the 10.5 hotside at the same boost level. Is this just a small increase, or something significant?

If anyone has a graph or just plain hp differences with no other changes than the turbo that would be great!

At least now i can eventually send the IX turbo in for the RED upgrade when they arent so back logged with work.
Now i just have to find someone to buy my 10.5 hotside, let me know if there is interest there.

Thanks!

 

i'll buy your 10.5 hotside! as long as its in really good condition and no broken bolts or anything

 

Also, where is the best place to get the install kit for the VIII? Is it just oil lines i need or water too? Anything else?

 

A solid 10whp, maybe more if you're running alky or E85. When I did this, I had already ported my 10.5 hotside and had the buschur SS o2 housing installed, so I just unbolted the center cartridge and swapped out turbos, leaving all exhaust components in place. It took about an hour or so, and was well worth it!

there ya go man

 

Turbo has 63,000 miles on it. Has shaft play side to side, but no in and out play. No broken bolts or studs, came apart perfect!

Pm me your offer

 

Thanks! I might order the epm dump cause they sound so sexy! might as well while i have it apart...

 

i'm sure the EPM dump housing and the QTP housing do the same but i like the looks of the QTP housing alot more!!!

10whp??? thats it???
i wanted to get a 9 turbo but never mind...im pretty sure i can get more power from something else...imo its not worth the money

 

except for the fact you can send the 9 in for the red upgrade from fp. Then you can expect about 150whp gain on pump!

 

it depends on what year your evo 8 is....2005 evo 8 with a 9 turbo will see a little gain but an 2003-2004 evo 8 will see a better gain bc the evo 8's have 9.8 turbine housing and the 05s and 9's have 10.5 turbine housings....so it would be a really good gain on an 03-04

 

well i have an 2005 so their wouldnt b much difference

 

start savin for a buschur 35r kit

 

Any other choices to source the lines? $170 is kinda pricey. Can i just bend my 8 lines to fit?

 

if i was to go big turbo i would get the green....i hate lag
