Basically, im trying to decide whether I should keep the TME or not.
I did some searches and am still doing more searching, but i gotta read through threads that have over like a thousand posts lol.. so j/wondering if anyone knows, or what you guys's opinions are.
Thanks in advance!

you could swap the tme internals into the evo and get the uber hybrid TMEIX turbo.. This would be close to the MR and RS evo IX turbo in japan that is superior to our IX turbo.

Whoa... This makes it sound like the EvoIX's turbo is many times better than the Evo VIII's... This might be a stupid question, but why does the 9's turbo only make about 10 more horses than the 8's then?

EVO 9 dyno 27xwhp on DynoJet!!!Lightly Mod(TBE,Intake,MBC,ECU) EVO 9 would produce 330whp easily!!
