You can bolt the Evo X turbo on to the Ralliart, but it isn't as simple as just swapping the turbo, you need the complete Evo X turbo system to do the swap(turbo, exh manifold, o2 housing, inlet elbow, downpipe, oil/coolant lines, gaskets, Evo X intake).
Your best bet for boost control is to put an upgraded 3-port solenoid on it and get tuned. You don't want to just throw a manual boost controller on it and crank it up.
The Ralliart runs a different boost control setup than the Evo X, which isn't a bad thing, since the passive and reactive boost solenoid stuff that the X uses stock is kinda stupid.
The attached dyno sheet is a Ralliart on the stock turbo that I tuned on E85 cranking the hell out of the tiny turbo. The numbers are in shootout/dynojet mode though.

haha! What fueling mods were on that thing? You could almost do that on the stockers with an upgraded fuel pump behind it.... :P

Probably 1000cc, stockers wouldn't quite make it that far on E85.

That's a decent looking graph for sure, nice powerband.
For bang for the buck it looks like a toss up between going evo x parts and pump gas vs. stock ralliart stuff and e85. Prolly close in price, I'd go evo x parts first, that way you can go E85 after for the next upgrade.
Plenty of us local X guys have stock X parts laying around.

Yip, I have my stock X turbo/manifold/o2 housing in my garage if you're interested, minus the lines and such.
