read somewhere that the IXs loose more boost up top than the VIII due to the MIVEC turning off at high rpms.. This is why ppl are wanting a MIVEC controller

Hmmm yeah I was wondering when they were going to come out with soemhtig like that. However, me personally dont notice that much of a drop in boost after 7grand. Its more of a gradual taper well at least that what my gauge says.

Yes, I have been trying to secure a used stock IX turbo for a while now. I have a guy sending me pics of his, since he just upgraded to a 37R. We will see if the deal works out - just waiting on him.

Skilmatic, on IXs, the MIVEC seems to cause the boost to taper more than on VIIIs, but they still make more power with less boost - sucks for us VIIIs!!

Hey warr we wer discussing the turbo as well. Does the 9 turbo also have a larger fan than the 05 8 turbo?

Let me know if the deal doesnt work out I will most likely have an extra one for sale with less than 6000miles on it

The IX turbo has a larger compressor HOUSING. There is no change to the blades that I know of...
