Evo 9 turbo....or.....TME?
Just trying to make up my mind on what turbo to get. I currently am running a 9.8 hotside and have the money to upgrade to a stock replacement. I am not reall too interested in the 20g-9. I haven't seen anyone with an Evo8 upgrade to just the factory 9 turbo yet. Looking for some opinions. Will the 9 turbo be that much different than the Evo 8 turbo in power?

For what it’s worth... I was in the same position looking at the IX turbo, the 20G-9-5, the TME.... I just ordered a single flap (not sure it matters) 10.5 hotside and decided to call it at that for ~$250. I am going to install it ported/polished (doing that myself) with my stock manifold and a nice ebay 02 housing I got for $60 shipped…
I would say the IX or the TME should be great, but not sure how much HP/TQ over just a hotside upgrade. I would guess it was a question of spool RPM versus cost…
