I'll probably go with some GSC S2's, just gotta keep an eye out for em in the FS section.

And gotta keep an eye out for an fp black/red/green evo 8 turbo kit haha
There are some major differences between those 3... I'd do some major research before throwing money at the wrong turbo.

It went from cant deciding on what to do to the exterior of my car to which turbo to pick lol.

Black or red... I'm like the black if I want to shoot for higher hp numbers but I like the quicker spool of the red.

I did have another question though. If I'm changing out the turbo, to a red or black, would it just be a bolt on replacement and new oil line?

You'll need the oil line kit, the Evo IX has those already so they can just bolt it right in, in the case of an VIII, you will need the kit. It sucks but thats how it works
Also, make sure you get the 84mm cover, it's an anti-surge cover for the turbo, used on the green, red and black turbos.

I've decided on the FP black. Just wondering which install kit I need to make the turbo fit my 8. I saw one on fp's website and one on mitsubishiparts.net, looks like differences are the two gaskets and two copper rings.
