IX is nice

The MR's come with a lot of good extra bits if you can stretch to it, but modding an FQ300 (warranty permitting) to same power and handling is not too difficult.

PS - dont sit in gear with the clutch in - shortens the life.

Marc, I would like 400 bhp but the next step is an expensive one. Its easy getting that first chunk of power but its the law of diminishing returns after that

Is 1.5 bar high for an evo. I remember my classic scoob had fuel cut at 1.2 bar, good old dawes paired with an afr and a blitz gauge to keep it there . How far can you go with the evo before you need bigger turbo I/C etc.

Its on the high side of the stock turbo, but no probs.

You can go around 400 with the turbo, and the I/C isnt really a limit as its a front mount rather than the old scoob top mount!

I think SSEL may be able to answer better than me on this

It does need more poke though, still doesnt feel as scary as my STi V5!
