What is the major diff in the turbo on a 03 to a 05 besides the 10.5 hotside?

You are correct it's only the hot side. Now the IX turbo has a different compressor cover as well as the 10.5 hotside and a single flapper wastegate design instead of the double one in theolder models.

to elaborate, isnt it a 10.5cm3 sizing difference over the 9.8?

And also the 05 turbo has a single flapper wastegate opposed to the dual flapper of the 03, which means the port cover for the wastegate is operated by one valve covering a split port instead of a dual flapper covering the split.

What is the hp diff? cause I was thinking of just getting a 05 turbo and putting it on my car but if it is not going to make a diff. then I will just get the 10.5 hotside and do that.
