evo9 turbo on evo8
To the OP:
Start off slow and easy. Most people that are fresh to these machines tend to try and go as big and fast as possible as quickly as they can, and usually regret a lot of choices down the road. Don't pay any attention to the magazine articles about huge power dyno queens, they're fine for a 1/4 mile track but will suck horribly as a daily driver. Unless of course that's what you want lol. Research as much as possible before you buy every part, and ask yourself whether or not that part will be beneficial to your long term goal. That way you can avoid re-buying parts down the road when you're unsatisfied with the result. Tuning options are pretty much a no-brainer these days...flashing the stock ecu is the best option out there. AFC's are absolute garbage for anything, so disregard any info that people might tell you along the way that they're a great tuning device...because they're not. Flashing and being tuned properly is usually cheaper in the long run too, and results in a better running car.
It's the same compressor wheel and the same exhaust wheel. The compressor housing itself is larger on the IX and allows a hair more flow with a slightly different compressor map, and it also tends to have a lot less surge than the smaller housing Evo VIII turbo's do.

best advice given. TAKE YOUR TIME!!!! SEARCH, SEARCH, and do some more SEARCHING.
It all depends on what kind of supporting modifications your going to be doing? If I know if you get the Evo 8 w/ ACD you'll have the upgrade already. But that year would be late 2005 Model. Also if you want to do the basics you can do.
Intake, TBE, Fuel Pump, Intercooler + Piping, MBC, BOV, & Tune you should be good to go and be around 300 HP without doing alot of major upgrades
