30 bucks for that and you have adjustable boost

As for performance.

The evo turbo is a TD05HR-16G6-9.8T which isn't very big. On the other hand the STi 2004 model has a T22 ( Think thats what they call them) which is a pretty good size turbo for a standard car.

So I don't think a evo8 would out muscle a STi. STi is heavier but has more power. As for adjustable boost from factory. Thats news to me and 18psi, that news to me again. I think you'll find its more like 12psi like the STi. 18psi and 271hp is pretty lame. Sr20det @ 10psi can put out 250hp.

You can have a small turbo running 18psi, yet a larger turbo running 12psi will make more power.

Both great cars

so what does everyone think about the Evo8? i believe that one day i will own the beautiful vehicle

[Machine]

I think it's more evidence that here in the States we're finally getting some of Japans better automotive technology, and that we're going to see US vehicle line-ups grow...It's about time...Personally, I like the STi better, but the EVO is no slouch...

[57ock]

seen a few evo7 getting around. Cool cars

[drgnfyre]

i really like the evo8, i think that mitsubishi couldn't have done much better with the design. the evo8 could out-muscle the sti anyday, especially because it runs about 18psi stock, which is adjustable, whereas the sti runs about 12psi, and it's not adjustable.

[mazda6man]

i love it, its really "stylin" especially with that spoiler

[Machine]

I'm not even speaking about which vehicle could beat the other...I think it'd be pretty even and a good battle...My only reason for saying I like the STi better is because if you parked 2 next to each other and told me to pick one I'd take the Subaru...I respect the EVO's capabilities, the STi is just more appealing to me...

[drgnfyre]

57ock raised a lot of good points, that until previously i was unaware of. but, in the end, both of them are very respectable imports. if i had to choose, i would still go with the evo.

id take the evo over sti, although i would get a front grill conversion to the evo 7 one, i think it looks dumb with the little bit in the middle, looks like a holden.

its a awsome car, 271 hp and 0-60 in 5.3 sec and can hadle better than the 350 z and the s2000, i want one so bad and its better than the sti by a little.

dude;
the evo 8 does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds!
it handles better and as simply faster than the sti
i'm sure it can even beat a corvette, the car you all adore and praise

I don't know, I don't like how the newest Impreza looks like.I think Subaru should've stayed with the round headlights instead of the new kind of blocky ones.Here's a pic of the one I like.

[SuperJew]

yeah vwmaniac my dad and I test drove an '03 WRX wagon and that was really cool....FAST. but i must admit I do like the newer design better.
