Lol would love to get my hands on this one...

This is a good deal but you would still need the install kit
Install kit? If he has an e8 10.5, with an Evo 9 turbo like he says then he has the right j - pipe. I don't claim to understand that combination though
I have the 71, it's a good turbo for the money. I'm around 400 whp (dyno jet est from vd - 430) with this.
Skunk 2 ported by STM
Stock exhaust mani
Megan outlet
Cbrd jmf intercooler
BR dp custom one piece long (cat delete)
Hks sport cat back
S2 cams
Fp intake tube 84mm
Stm + injen ic pipes
Fb 70 tb
Pte 1000
That's on 93 octane too, this IMHO would be a very fun e85 turbo for street. 9.8 housing would be more entertaining . Too if stock cams were in play

I have an install kit
I also have an ported hotside
An Evo 9 turbo
An Evo 8 with 10.5 hot side turbo
So this would be a fairly cheap upgrade....

Ok so I have an Evo 8 turbo with a 10.5 hot side so if I got this would I need to change the oil and coolant lines to the turbo?

You'll need a IX J pipe unless you feel like heating and bending the VIII pipe to clear the starter.
I have used stock 8 lines on an old school green.
Ran with no problems and never had shaft play issues.

This is almost to good to pass up. So if you have a IX turbo you just swap this on and you're good to go? Do you need the install kit if you have a IX turbo already? Is the 84mm cover worth it? Even if you spend a little extra and get the 18 or 25 psi wga it's still a steal.

Just purchased this turbo, I'm excited to see the gains over my stock 8.5 turbo

I'm going to the shop tomorrow to get tuned, but I'm only going to run 18 pounds because I'm on stock clutch and injectors

I'm excited for you as well. Post up the results once you get tuned!
