At this point, I would rather invest into a GreeN, especially when your running Q16 at that amount of boost. Thats why I ask if you daily drive your car on pump gas. With that boost, the GreeN would shine.
Still good numbers

Second is spoolup, I was hoping the throttle response would be really good with this turbo, and it is amazing! You would honestly have to drive a car with the White on it to experience it for yourself, I don't think the dyno can show us that.
Also, 427hp and 448ftlbs, sure some evo9 equipped cars have made that, but most have more mods than I do, a bunch of ported parts, some type of intake, alot are 9's with Mivec to help with cam timing, etc. etc.
I disagree with those of you who think this turbo has no place, this is a bigger turbo than what I had, that makes more power all over the powerband, and actually spools better and has much much quicker throttle response, usually someone is buying a turbo that does either/or... but now there's one that does BOTH For autox, I don't think there's a better turbo out there right now!

For the price difference between this White and a Red, you could almost go from the HTA35 to a 42R, does that mean the HTA35 is junk because the HP/Dollar is lower?

I will be running an FP white soon also. You cannot compare it to the green for many reasons man. This turbo will shine in Autox and can still run at the drag strip if your feeling up to it. Lots of good and similar reviews on the White and thats what im looking for

Well there's a few reasons, first of all, I wanted a NEW turbo, not used...and the White is only a couple hundred bucks more than the 9 turbo new.

Is the White really only $750...$300 more than a used IX? If so, then that's not so bad, since it's new.

Again I think people are looking at just the gain or peak numbers. He has a VERY mild mod list.....throw in a good manifold, ported im/tb, a good air intake and various other parts, we might see even higher numbers! I would still love to see a car like the English evo try this turbo! Toms post was great, but the only thing lacking was a run with a stock 9 turbo on the same set up. Lucas cracked 500whp on a stock 9, this would be another good test of to-the-max results. I want one

I'm not sure I call 280 cams, cam gears, and a race FMIC to be VERY mild or even just...mild. Notice how late the spool is even on the stock turbo compared to most. Hell, that's as late as us up at sea level. I don't know how the cam gears are set, but 280s are definitely built more for top-end. IM/TB is not a big power mod, and you know I don't have those mods. When I went from 05 VIII to IX, my gains were very similar without raising boost or retuning.
I think the gains are great, but I think it can be confusing to some who don't realize that IX turbos react similarly.
