Dave sorry did you say this was the TME you ran? I suppose that would be the full meal deal with the lightened rotating assembly. Also in terms of the mass of your 20G comp wheel is it closer to the weight of the standard turbo or lighter like the TME? IYO would one turbo have an advantage against a shaft wobble over the other? Great results by the way that boost thing has to be a leak- if so think about the power it could be losing already.

The same parts you guys listed are the minimum I'd recommend having before upgrading.
It will get tested like that eventually on someone's car, that I am sure of.

I'm hoping that my appt for the 9th happens for install and tune the AEM EMS and other products. If I get this appt you can use my car for the test. I'll just let the wife know to get the CC ready

No boost leaks. BUT the wastegate actuator was not tight on the pin. Going to leave for home shortly and will see where the boost is on the way home.
I don't need any '03 cores right now. I may in the future. I sent out 3 today and one TME.
The 20G on my car is a standard 2003 EVO turbo with the 20G wheel and the 10.5 MR housing on it. It was NOT a TME ti/al turbine wheel.
I did send out cores today in speculation that the boost is going to go up on the car. Once I see the boost raise I will officially say, "Please call or place your order online"
I am looking forward to some dyno testing. Going to be tough comparing numbers though with the change from 2wd to AWD and from Dynojet to Mustang Dyno.
What is the saying? "Great things come to those who wait"?

How much boost response are we losing by having the standard iconnel wheel?

i think you defeat the purpose of getting the 10.5 without the ti/al wheel at least on the stock turbo. you will actually see laggy boost with the stock turbo on a 10.5. the ti/al spins faster because of the lighter weight so will flow more air ofcourse over all. that is why we see better no# with the 05 evo's then the 03-04, even though the 03-04 might have swapped to the 10.5 hotside.

I have a 10.5 hot side on my 04 and I do not think I lost spool up at all. My car from 2800 rpm on is way stronger with the hot side than before. I think the Ti wheel would provide even faster spool than stock and therefore will be able to move more air before it maxes out(giving some better top end too).

Only problem with your theory is that 05's dont have Ti/Al like the TME. The difference is 05's have the hotside, and a more aggresive mapped ECU.
