Message: <blockquote data-quote="JBQ" data-source="post: 3157117" data-attributes="member: 55457">Hi,I got the statement below from somewhere sometime ago:-Garrett ball bearing turbochargers require less oil than journal bearing turbos. Therefore an oil inlet restrictor is recommended if you have oil pressure over about 60 psig. The oil outlet should be plumbed to the oil pan above the oil level (for wet sump systems). Since the oil drain is gravity fed, it is important that the oil outlet points downward, and that the drain tube does not become horizontal or go “uphill” at any point.Following a hot shutdown of a turbocharger, heat soak begins. This means that the heat in the head, exhaust manifold, and turbine housing finds it way to the turbo’s center housing, raising its temperature. These extreme temperatures in the center housing can result in oil coking. To minimize the effects of heat soak-back, water-cooled center housings were introduced. These use coolant from the engine to act as a heat sink after engine shutdown, preventing the oil from coking. The water lines utilize a thermal siphon effect to reduce the peak heat soak-back temperature after key-off. The layout of the pipes should minimize peaks and troughs with the (cool) water inlet on the low side. To help this along, it is advantageous to tilt the turbocharger about 25° about the axis of shaft rotation.Many Garrett turbos are water-cooled for enhanced durability.[Note: Some ball-bearing turbo' seals being pushed out of the housing is due to the fact that a restrictor is not used at an oil inlet].</blockquote>

What's the main difference between Evo 9 and X?

Besides the price obviously and as a lot of people are telling, the weight disadvantage for the X.

Can anybody eloborate on that? What is Mitsu officially telling us (their customers)?

Should I go for Evo X or Evo...
