What are forged injectors? I'm also impressed that it has an evo X turbo. Maybe it's sitting in the trunk? 450 whp most likely a grose exaggeration.

An evo 10 turbo would never bolt up to an 8/9. They're very different turbos. The size isn't the issue, they're similar sized. Just look at a picture of a stock 10 turbo vs a picture of a stock 8/9 turbo and you'll see why that would not work.

probably meant an IX turbo, which is pretty common. I wonder what about it he couldn't afford if it doesn't need work.

That orange plastic by the hose clamp (for the BOV) will get burned up the first time the manifold get hot.

Evo ix turbo would
Make more sense, but with all those upgraded internals (and the what they cost) I am surprise the turbo is not bigger. My stock ix is getting an fp green installed right now.

I've been buying and selling all sorts of things for years now. My two cents is if anything about it sounds sketchy, it's best to just avoid it.
