i was hoping to do a poll, but I didn't see the option. I need to replace my turbo in my VIII.
I can get the the following:
Stocker Evo8 with 9.8TH for 690.00 shipped
Stocker Evo9 with 10.5TH 1017.00 shipped and 180.00 evo8 install kit
EVO 8 Turbo 10.5 Single Upgrade Turbocharger 655.00 (but 3-5 weeks wait)
EVO 6.5 RS TME Turbo 10.5 for 950.00 (does anyone know anyone running this one?)


of course the stock unit is the most prudent one financially, but 10.5 housing is cheaper but with a longer wait....and driving this rental isnt much fun...(it's a gay assed PT Cruiser).

opinions are welcome.

The TME turbo will spool the fastest, but you might run out of steam up top. Id say go with IX turbo. Why don't you look on EvoM for a used one? You can find them used for 600 (or less) with anywhere from 3000-10000 miles and than the install kit of course.
