Does anyone out there upgrade 9.8 Turbos?

Just wondering, I might have to get a new turbo soon and want to see all my options.

I am sure FP does not do the white rabbit anymore but maybe someone else out there still upgrades The old skool 8 turbos.

I think everyone with the 9.8 upgrades their turbo, haha. Find a used IX turbo in the classifieds and be done with it.

I have thought about this, but have always been worried about spending the cash on something that is on its breaking point or that is already broken.


You can get new 9 turbos from Mellon though

I would get a used IX ($400-450) and just upgrade to a HTA Green

If your 9.8 hotside is still good and your on a budget. you can get the fp hta71. 650 + 100 core charge. other parts need will be upgraded wg and evo 9 j-pipe. all you have to do is bolt the 9.8 hot side to it.
