Evo 8 Mr Vs Evo 9 Turbo?????
Okay so I have an 8 MR. 16g w/10.5 hotside... I also just bought a setup that has a 9 turbo on it. 16g w/10.5 hotside.
My question is... with the 9 turbo having a bigger compressor housing.. does this achieve more HP??
I just need to know if putting on the evo 9 turbo is going to give me better numbers than my 8 w/10.5 hotside??
Is the Ix's power based off of the turbo or is it just the MIVEC?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Id honestly have to say mostly MIVEC, but after riding in an 05 VIII with the 10.5 and a friends Evo IX (all with the same mods. The VIII actually has an upgraded FMIC and the IX doesnt) the IX was smoother and faster hands down and the turbo on the IX just felt better. Cant really explain it, but the IX turbo should make more power over the VIII turbo.

remember with the FP to add injectors (min 750cc, right?) and a good tune + 9 installation kit (revised lines since the compressor housing is bigger). . .I'm holding out on adding the FP green. . .and hoping it'll add 40awtq at 24psi!!

Where have you been buddy. This is common knowledge. Just look at the picture. While you have the 9 turbo unbolted, I would send it in for the FP evo Green turbo.
