does anyone know off hand who makes a good direct bolt on turbo upgrade for our evo's with no modification or very little, and if so, can you send me a link... TIA, jason

 

These are about the only ones:

The links are much appreciated. I will be needing a new turbo soon (destroyed stock one at the SO Sunday).

Forced Performance also makes a bolt-on turbo. It is identical to the stock turbo, but it uses a bigger exhaust housing (10.5 vs. 9.8). The TME turbo would be another choice. It uses a titanium turbine compressor wheel and a bigger exhaust housing.

 

Wow, that is it for bolt on turbo's? I am surprised that forcedperformance hasn't found a larger compressor wheel to shove into the one they sell! Now THAT would be a bolt on I would go for

I think they're working on one with Buschur, but it hasn't come out yet. If only our stock turbo wasn't reverse rotation, we would have tons of bolt-on turbos available by now.

 

thanks a lot for your input guys, here's my problem, went to the track, on the way there i was having boost problems, i normally run about 22 to 24 at the track, well i turned it up to 24 on the way there but half way there i was only spiking at about 15 and thats it, so i thought ok, maybe my controller needs to be adjusted, well first run, same thing 15, so i looked at it again, didnt want to mess anymore, ran again and it was fine, spiked to 25 to 27 so i turned it down some thinkin maybe i adjusted too high when i was playing with the adjustment when my boost was off, so ran again it was fine, then my last run i launched and you could hear it kinda fizzle out and i could no longer keep my boost about 15 again. after lookin at the hose coming from my turbo to my boost controller, it looks a little chewed up and heated so i am thinking that that hose is the problem, so i am going to replace that... do you guys by the way this sounds think it could be anything else ? i figure if its not the hose, then maybe i messed up my controller, anyone heard of a manual controller breaking seals at running to much boost ? it said when i bought it (turboxs hp) that it could handle up to 30 lbs of boost or so... after that i guess i will have to either buy a replacement stock or close turbo... (yeah right) or use it as an excuse for an upgrade... if so, i read a lot about the turbo they have on the link up above from garret, sounds good, anyone heard anything ? sorry for the length of this one... thanks guys

 

If you are using a Turboxs HP MBC, Use the "boost source " from the Intake (slice into BOV line).
The only line to the turbo should be going to the wastegate. The pressure out from the turbo should be capped.
If you use cheap lines (alot of cheap silicone lines out there), a whole could melt into it, then you'd be running off only wastegate, (about 10psi).
P.S. I'm coming to Fayettenam next Sunday (22nd). I'll be working at the Wind Tunnel on Bragg. I would mind checking out a few fellow EVO guys while I'm there.
Only one other Evo in my town and he's a TURD!
