The guys use a s3 manifold because there turbine houses are 10cm2, stock evo8’s minimum turbine housing is 9.8cm2. So you can see why they elected to use the s3 manifold, plus it’s a step up from the restrictive stock manifold.

I found 3 members on the srt-4 running Evo 8 Turbo:

Jesrturbo ( He is using a Evo 9 turbo with a 5 blade 20g wheel. Evo guys have been seeing mid 400 with these turbo, image what he can do with a 2.4)

If you get lost on all this mitsu turbo talk here is a nice turbo guide that taught me alot a while back:

Hybrid Q/A

Can I use my stock manifold with the upgrade:

No the evo 8 uses a TD05 turbine wheel, the minimum size housing it uses stock is 9.8 cm2. The Srt-4 Factory turbine house is 6 cm2, no porting can achieve that size or scroll that high.

Can I use the stock TD04 turbine wheel (exhaust) instead & have it balanced with the new compressor wheel:

Yes you can but why would you put a turbine wheel designed for a smaller compressor wheel, when you have the wheel design for it right there. You want the turbo to spin at its full potential and the stock manifold is restrictive enough. Plus sending off to get balance requires waiting LOL

Can I swap compressor wheels, balance it, and port my stock TD04 compressor to fit the new wheel:

Yes you can but why when you have a bigger compressor housing that came with the turbo. Plus the previous statement should answer your question since you will be using the TD04 turbine wheel.

What I have learned is DO it right the first time
