You can send your turbo into Forced Perormance and have them build it into an EvoGreen turbo. Your GSC S1 cams will be fine to use with that turbo. Just get the standard Green turbo with the standard wastegate actuator. The porting of the turbine housing is not really necessary IMO.

If you have an VIII, then you'll need an installation kit, which consists of an Evo IX compressor discharge tube and a couple of metal oil and coolant lines(also from the IX) for the new turbo. Look at Fuel Injector Clinic(FIC), for good deals on injectors. You'll want 750-780 c.c. nozzles.

First, please take a look at other threads because this has been discussed several times. Secondly, you need a IX turbo to have one built from your stock turbo.

What year is your Evo? Yes, Forced Performance will convert your existing turbo into a Green turbo. They can use most of your, stock VIII turbo as a starting point to build a Green.

Evo green is a IX turbo with a bigger wheel!

So if you had a IX turbo it can be converted to a green, the essentially the same turbo just that the green has a bigger turbine wheel


but ye if you just searched you would of found plenty info it also the same turbo Buschur sells whic he call the 20g LT

but a simple search will find all you looking for

An VIII turbo can't be upgraded to a IX. The IX turbo has a much larger compressor housing, which makes the green possible.

You will have to spend ~$1700 on a new turbo. You will also need an install kit, since the turbos have different outlet pipes and oil lines. That's another $150 ( https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...6a761716e7e82d )

Forced Perormance can use the center housing as well as the turbine housing from your VIII turbo in building an EvoGreen. They would, however, need to supply you with a IX compressor housing, milled out for the Green's larger compressor wheel.

As far as the turbine housing goes, either of the two USDM spec VIII turbine housings can be used in building your Green. So yes, they can build you a Green turbo, using your existing stock VIII turbo as a starting point. Call them.

The IX turbo is not essentially the same turbo as an EvoGreen turbo. Externally the two turbos may, however, appear the same because the Green shares the same compressor, center, and turbine housings as a 16G IX turbo.

But, on closer inspection, if you were to peer into the Green's compressor housing inlet and turbine housing outlet you would see an inducer that is different and a turbine exducer that differs as well from its IX 16G counterparts.

Externally the housings are the same. That is the Green starts off with a IX compressor housing and a 10.5 single-flapper turbine housing. Then the Elves at FP internally machine the two housings to accept respectively, the larger FP 5-blade 20G "White Rabbit", aluminum billet, compressor wheel and the larger "LT" turbine wheel.

Although, at first glance, the Green appears identical to the IX turbo, if you look more closely, you will see the 5-bladed 20G inducer lurking inside the compressor housing inlet. Likewise, if your eyes were to linger on the Green's turbine housing outlet, you would most surely notice the much larger diameter turbine exducer hiding in there.

An VIII turbo most certainly can be upgraded to IX specs. You would oly need to swap on the IX comp. housing.

Furthermore, in upgrading an VIII turbo to Green specs, he would only need to discard the VIII's compressor housing as the rest of the VIII turbo's carcass can be employed in an FP EvoGreen turbo build.

Where are you guys getting all this misinformation regarding the inability to build an EvoGreen from the VIII 16G turbo. Perhaps you would be well advised to reread the pertinent archived material, before posting.

FP will NOT rebuild your evo 8 turbo into a Green. I've contacted them first hand via email and they only convert evo 9 turbo's into greens. You can use an evo 8 hotside (which is identical as a 9) but the compressor housing if way different.

You either have to buy a evo 9 compressor housing and use your evo 8 hotside OR buy a whole evo 9 turbo and send it in.

Then buy a install kit. You can piece the install kit together from Mitsubishi for cheaper. Just takes time to find the part #'s. Anyone have part #'s?

The only difference between a IX 16G and an VIII 16G are the compressor housings. Perhaps the IX compressor housings are in short supply.

But, if you were to remove the compressor housing from the IX turbo, the CHRA(center housing rotating assembly) as well as the 10.5 turbine housing are identical to an VIII turbo. So, the only diff. is the compressor housing.

So, if FP has a goodly supply of IX compressor housings in existence, they should, at least as a practical matter, be able to build a Green turbo from a customer supplied VIII turbo. In fact, they used to do this. Perhaps they no longer provide this service.

They must not have any 9 compressor housing because they told me they don't upgrade 8 turbo's.
