Great gains -- But I love how they claim "TOTALLY SAFE STOCK UNTUNED ECU" but are running a boost controller.

Boost controllers are much "SAFER" if you tune the engine timing/fuel/etc to work with more boost.

As comparisona 2.0tfsi on a VW or Audi pick up about 50whp with a tune and downpipe or turbo back exhaust. At that point they are about maxed out because of the small turbo.

weird how the IC pipe goes over the top of the core support. that's not how the older EVO's were, right?

This isnt the 4G63, so a lot of things are different.

Turbo upgrades are going to be difficult. This thing isnt going to be the Evo IX in terms of gains, but Im excited to sit in one. Apparently the interior has grown up.

nice numbers...it looks like the interior and exterior have grown up, and with those potential performance gains, the evo x is now on my welcome home car radar

I was tossing around the idea of trading in the TL for this Evo, but I can't get over how awkward it looks. I'm still thinking about an Evo9MR though...
