Titanium turbo
Anyone knows how much the titanium turbo can be bought for?
I'm talking about those that come optional for JDM Evo GSRs.
Is anyone selling those in the US?

I wish I'd watched that more closely, that would have ruled.

I'm interested in this too. In addition to quicker spool up, the turbo should spool down faster too. I wonder if this could make the car behave smoother or reduce the bucking behavior with throttle off? Or maybe I just wonder too much. 
No idea on cfm - if everything is the same size and geometry it shouldn't change that, just kick it up sooner.

the life of the turbo isn't as good as the stock turbo... the titanium model was created for extreme temps and continuous compitition use... there is a picture floating around of a broken @$$ titanium turbo...

Evolution 8
Turbo = TD05HR-16G6-9.8T (GSR / USDM E8)
TD05HRA-16G6-9.8T (RS/RS2)
Nozzle Area (cm2) = 9.8
Turbine = USDM EVO 8 & JDM GSR =Inconel (steel alloy),
RS/Rs2=Titanium alloy.
Compressor = Aluminium, 68mm wide
Evolution 6
Turbo = TD05HR-16G6-10.5T (GSR)
TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T (RS/rs2)
Nozzle Area (cm2) = 10.5
Turbine = GSR - Inconel (steel alloy), Titanium alloy (RS/RS2)
Compressor = Aluminium, 68mm wide
I was aware of the thread as well as the size difference... I'm just wondering what it is worth power wise...

Evo 8 in Japan comes with the same exact turbo one of which is from Inconel and the other one from titanium. You have to pay a little extra for the titanium one.
Now what I'm interested is a price of the titanium one.
People in the thread above say that Ti one doesn't like high levels of boost which I'm not interested in.
The picture of Pero's blown TI turbo is either becuase he was either running very lean or our Croatian gas was crap (it could have been both). I know he later switched to Motec ECU and is still running TI turbo. His EVO 6 TME is pushing around 400whp as far as I'm aware of.
That is way more than I'm looking at. I just need the faster spool for the street.
