ok so my i have TBE and MBC. should i swap out my 9.8 HS turbo for a IX? or get a tune? im kinda leaning for a tune where should i go in CA? Works?

 

You should get a IX turbo and then tune it.

 

+1
yeah, get both. You would have to get a tune either way...

opition 1. Get a tune

opition 2. get a IX turbo, in which case, you'll need a tune.

SInce your in CA, I would say go to Shiv. (Vishnu)

 

i've got the nine turbo installed and i havent got a tune yet but since the turbo(stock 9.8) is the smallest of them all...i'd say upgrade anyways...if the ix turbo is laying around somewhere take like you stole it!

 

is there a noticable gain by just swaping out the turbo?

 

Where in CA are you located? In Northern CA go to Vishnu for your tune. In SoCal go to Tuning Technologies, located in Colton. Go ahead and get the IX turbo and then get it tuned.

 

If you don't have the $ for both, then you could get the 10.5 hotside and a "mail-in" flash for under $500.
