It's making the exit flow of the exhaust more free. Like getting a 3" turbo back. The more flow it has on the exhaust side, the more air and fuel you can shove into the motor = more power.

Heh, yeah, most evo 8s upgrade to the 10.5 Hotside to get a better flow and more power like stated. The evo 9's came with the upgraded larger 10.5 hotside.

You will get better exhaust gas efficiency and less turbo lag.

BUT there can be some benafits from a smaller hotside.... Not much and not really enough to justify keeping a small hotside on a smaller turbo. but when you go up to a larger turbo its worth looking into.

Leave it how it is?

You're on a 3037Â* so thats already an upgraded turbo.


Are you looking for more power or somthing?


Make sure you build around how you intend to use the car, and what you want it to do.

all 05 and up came with the 10.5 hotside like stated. however, with that turbo, is it possible the previous owner also upgraded the hotside at the same time? maybe gst or se can look and tell you what your running on.

did you mean compression housing?

the 05 VIII and the IX's came with a 10.5 hotside,but the compression hhousing on a IX turbo is larger.
