I'll be upgrading to a evo9 turbo very soon, and of course I want the most out of it. before going in for a re-flash, got any ideas what else I should get to maximize the output of the turbo? I'm running straight 92oct gas only. (but I'm not interested in water injection or any standalones.) Thanks

I got..........
hks 264/272
255lph
LIC pipe
injen intake/ic pipe
arp headstuds
hks dli2
catless turbo back

yea, but that sounds like alot of work with minimal gains. i would do all that if i was getting the motor built since it will be all apart.
also, im now reading about the evo9 turbo vs hotside/o2 housing, sounds like the latter is a better buy. seems like most of the gain is coming from the larger turbine and o2 housings. any thoughts?

thanks for the suggestions. im really looking for low end trq/hp, that is why i chose the smaller lobe cams and is also why im choosing between oem turbos. Does larger injectors help in that department?

****, i'm making all these gay excuses, maybe i should start buying race gas.

at one time it was claimed the 280's lost no low end or mid-range however gained top end.
