if your gonna up the boost your gonna need to change out that plastic dv/bov!

 

It's an AEM intake. pipe and filter. Not sure if that helps, but it's not an injen. Not sure this shop has worked on more than a few evo's but at my location I am a bit limited on tuners. I had to drive out to New Orleans because nobody around Baton Rouge would touch my evo.

 

The drive is worth it one I have my full final setup, Im driving to either AWD in fl or MAP in MN, I in MA. But it will be worth it.
Thats clearly not any aftermarket turbo, I could have a upgraded comp wheel but I wouldnt hope for anything over 300 on a md

 

At this point, I would follow the lead of the elder members here and never go back to that same shop again as I am sure they (The more senior members here) would agree.

Stevie Wonder could see that isn't a black.

 

well , looks you guys were right. The stamping on the compressor reads as follows:
49378-01560
TD05HR-16g6-10.5T
060113075

These are some pics I took tonight after taking the intake off. A quick search and it looks like a stock turbo

The only thing I find confusing, and I guess I wouldnt know unless I drove another stock evo or a big turbo evo, is why it spools so early and is it normal for the stock turbo to be so damn loud? I'm currently running 24psi on stock injectors and it starts to spool right at 2800-3200. Is that normal?

 

As soon as I find something to compress that damn c-clip, I have an HKS SSQV i'll be installing asap. Recirc of course

 

Def. not a 20g...it's just a stock 8 turbo w/ 10.5 hotside...

 

stock turbo is loud on your setup because of your intake. 2800-3200 is about right, seems about where my stock 8 turbo spools more or less.
I would find another shop. Mellon, AMS,Bushur are worth the drive from your area. Get rid of that plastic DV and get a IX DV.

 

yeah, being lied to is awesome at least now I know what the hell I'm running so I know where to start

 

After this, I would say get a tuner who actually knows what they are looking at that specialize in Evo's.

 

I know this thread has kind of gone off the deepend as far as topic is concerned. But anyone know of an EVO tuner within 300-400 miles of Baton Rouge? And this also may sound funny, but what does the DV stand for? I'm new to the forced induction world

 

Mellon Tuning.

DV= Diverter Valve aka recirculated bov.

 

thats what i figured lol just wasnt going to throw myself out there and look stupid I have an HKS ssqv that I plan to install this weekend if I can get my hands on something to compress that damn c-clip. I have the recirculation kit for it as well. and thanks for the tip, Ill have to check them out.

 

I second for mellon, man. Me and another evo are taking a trip up there soon. You should tag along ;-)

 

When are yall going? I would def. make a trip up there with yall.
