I have a evo 9 and i am about to modify it with an upgraded turbo.
i am trying to stay conservative with a GT30 package. by now i narrowed down my options to vishnu and ams, but i am not sure which one to choose ?
btw do i need any extra mods when getting those packages?

thanks

 

list mods you have and what come with the package.

 

honestly i have a evo8 MR with 22k on it with 264/272 cams, adjustable vishnu cam gears vishnu flash, greddy ebc,and full 3 inch exhuast system.

and just bought a stock evo 9 MR with 33k on it for 21k, so i am trying to sell the 8 and mod the 9. but feel like the 8 pulls way better right now. what do you think about that?

I called AMS and they said it was 500 to install a turbo kit. Then you have to add the other stuff like a tune.

 

but i live in SoCal and have no access to their shop, anywhere in California that installs it for the same price and is capable of tunning it to its full extend?

do i need a AMS EMS? for the AMS package? i already have the xede for evo8 if i get the Vishnu package

 

12 Hours to install a turbo sounds like a rediculously long time to me.

 

call XS engineering. They are good.

 

Buschur 3065r kit.

 

Is it one of Buschur's stages?
do you have it installed?
any dynos?

 

Isn't the BR GT30 the same price as the GT35?

Might as well go with the GT35.

 

I have the V550 is you have questions... I am very happy with it. Get a 3071 for the street.

 

tuning technolies has a good 30r kit. check em out tuningtechnologies.com

 

Since you live in SoCal you might want to look into RRE 'stealth' 30R kit.
They have a custom GT30R kit they sell, install, and tune.
Turn-key turbo kit installed for about $4k last time I heard.

Man, I kinda wish I lived closer to RRE and I would have a 30R by now.

 

You would probably be happier with the 50TRIM. They always seem to make better numbers and times then the 30R which is more efficient at high boost which then you may as well run a 35R.

I like the AMS 50 Trim kit and one day, I will own one.

 

how much did it cost you to install? for the package?
I wan to do it on a IX i would not be getting the cams right?
do you know if XEDE supports 880cc injectors?
