Evo 9 Turbo with Evo 8 9.8 Hotside
So here is my situation. I have 4 seized bolts in my evo 8 turbine housing, and they are not coming out without having to drill and retap. My fabricator said he has a buddy that would give him a evo 9 turbo for really cheap, although it has no hotside. He offered to drill out the seized bolts, re tap them, and put the turbine housing on the evo 9 turbo.
How would this effect the overall performance of the turbo? Would it be worth it? Or would it be better to just have him retap the threads and use the stock evo 8?
This turbo is going into my Honda…
Picture of my set up for those interested...
