Overbuilt evo 8 question

What would happen if you have an overbuilt evo and just slap on a evo 9 turbo for reliable daily driving ?
im talking 2.3 stroker , s2 cams , Walbro 450 , 2150cc injectors , & etc ?

Don't beat on the car if your worried about it. The size of the turbo has nothing to do with reliability. Turn the boost down or if you really want to go smaller you should only need a retune.

ineedboostman is correct but in reference to the specifics you posted, that evo 9 turbo will choke out that 2.3 stroker. You're going to want a bigger hotside just to keep it happy.
