RE: 850 turbo upgrade
1. What is your budget like?
2. What turbo comes on the EVO 8? Model etc...
3. An ECU upgrade would be a good idea to maximize the power and potential of the new turbo. Likefrom RICA or IPD.

4. You should really get a BOOST/VACCUM gauge if you don't have one already.

Also you should get a gauge pod.

5. Next you should really get turbo hoses from either SAMCO, which are sold by http://www.vivaperformance.com Or get them from Stylin Motors, http://www.stylinmotors.com
6. You should upgrade your vaccum lines with silicone ones from http://www.stylinmotors.com
7. If you want to maximize the performance from upgrading your turbo you should really have a 3" downpipe made and a 3" free flowing catback system made for you.

RE: 850 turbo upgrade
i did research b/c i couldn't think of the size off the top of my head, but i couldnt find it so i found the evo 9 size which is a little bigger than the 8 it's a tdo5hr-16g. From than i would assume its almost the same maybe a tdo5-16g. i guess ill have to do more research before i decide what to do. one other question does the euro sporttuning intercooler work better than a FMIC (front mount intercooler) or is the stock intercooler good enough?
