It's also noteworthy that although the haters of the TC.com 20G-9 ask for empirical data, they provide none of their own.

Well what I want to know is how hard is it to just get one of each turbo and test it back to back? For a shop I mean. Its a simple, low cost turbo and you would think that the shops would want to back up there claims.

Im not taking sides either way cause Ive had great success with Buschur but this whole thing is starting to sound like when they came out with the single flapper 10.5 hotside and people were saying it was superior. Come to find out the only reason for the change was because it was cheaper for Mitsu to produce. Lets just see some form of evidence either way so people can really make the best choice for there hard earned money.

All vendors all tuners and all Evo owner forgive me if I am wrong but I truly believe that the business disagreement between Buschur and TC has been at least very controversial and I can almost guaranty it compromised the real feedback on this turbo.

Mr Buschur picthed in a lot of money on doing his own testing but the business disagreement between TC and Buschur has brought the customer insecure and unestable options.

I rather see a individual testing done rather than any of the sellers/vendors testing, all the info regarding the 20G 5 and 6 blade has been deeply compromised

^^ Test bet. 2 turbo should be done by private individual...

I personally disregard any claim by both vendor at this time due to lack of

scientific data and controversy.

Haha that is funny stuff. I have heard of Buschur being like that by some old DSM guys from back in the day(like 4 or 5 yrs ago, but I never seen any proof til this post hahaah. A friend of mine told me that when AEM first came out, before Buschur was selling it, he called Buschur up to ask about his opinion on AEM and was told it was junk and to keep his HKS VPC, Now he sells it. The man still knows his **** with the 4g63 hands down, but I just thought that was Ironic.

you know since this thread got so many people's attention.

why hasn't anyone asked the brilliant question of: how does the 9 compare to the 20g?

rob at fp says that on pump gas there is no noticeable difference. when you take it to race gas it's nicer to ahve the 5blade.

so why are people paying for either?

hasn't anyone noticed that this whole crap was just made to try to improve mitsu's own stuff? adn when mitsu dropped it's new and improved version everyone was still chasing after something some guy with no engineering background made. why do i scratch my head at this?

i mean it USES the 9 housing for goodness sake... waht better indication could there be that the 9 turbo is good??? good enough.

It hasn't been asked because this thread was started to give credit where credit was due to turbochargers.com. If a customer desires, he/she can also purchase the Evo 9 turbo at turbochargers.com instead of the 20G.

And the opinion of rob at fp is not from an independent, unbiased perspective, is it?

You bring up a good point, but I think it is misplaced on this thread.

well Buschur has stated that there is no gain on pump gas vs. a 10.5 turbo...

I believe there is one out there, but the guy also did a O2 housing swap at the same time.
