On the first episode of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES......

OHHHHH...why does the EVO IX have more power now.....is it because it comes with the JDM MR BOV? It holds more boost and when Mitsu tested the motor they used a BOV that leaked and said forget it?

UHHHH.....UHHHH...no. The IX has more power because the turbine, turbine housing and inlet have been redesigned for the IX. How did the evo community miss this? We will solve this mystery on our next episode titled......Why evo owners cant read.

The reason why prior years made more power is obvoius....because the stock valves start leaking around 19 psi on average and people are boosting the engine much higher thus it leaks.......

I saw a comparission somewhere of the turbos and the IX gets a larger looking one for sure.

Yes, that is in the Best Motoring Dvd with the EVO IX mega test which I own. And yes, they do come with em as now TWO of my friends have Evo IX's. One of which is Late Apex on here, and one who picked one up like 2 days ago. He isn't a member on here though, as least to the best of my knowledge.
