Sup,

I was just thinking about somehow aquiring the turbo from the MR Evo, which is suppposed to flow better and be larger than ours and putting on my EVO. Now if our turbo's MAX out around 380whp does anyone think these puppies can get over 400whp or even around 415?

If so this could be the best compromise between power and quick spooling ability.

Does anyone know where I can get one or have the specs on it?

Think your best bet for a nicely spooling, great output turbo would be a 50 trim. I have not heard much about the MR turbo, but i'm guessing it's still a 16g with some modifications to it?

i would just get a new turbo kit like the one AMS will offer, it's capable of 550-650whp all around $4K

Will the AMS have the quick spool up like the 16G?

part of making larger hp is gaining a little lag. the evo turbo at my current state in mods spools up too quick for my taste...its like every time i touch the gas...bam...full boost and pssssh from the bov....I'd like crazy power with a little lag

tehre are several incarnations of the 16G that will spool quicker than the stock turbo - we have them outlined here.

I have not been able to get my hands on the MR exact specs, but I would expect pricing through the roof, unless its a turbo that has been used before.

Hell, even teh more exotic 16G's used on the TM, etc are very pricey

From what I read, its a 16G w a larger inlet, which is probaly like the TME 16G-10.5 vs. the VII and VIIIs 9.8.

I was hoping maybe an 18G?

working on getting the turbo designation as we speak.....

Here you go side by side. VIII on the right ! Yes it is a 10.5

Why did Mitsu use the 9.8 on the VIII instead of the larger one?

i hope all the MR guys upgrade their turbos
cause i'll take their stocker off their hands...

it won't spool faster but is capable of +550whp

but say you are going for 400 hp, which is the better turbo, for all around street driving?

the hks 3037/s is good for 400whp on pump gas, it has near stock spool around 3500rpms but it's very pricey ($5500). it's a gt30R, the AMS kit is a garret gt35r
