We are also speaking of a 6sp that takes 5 gears to get down the 1320 which drops trap speed. I am the fastest MR on stock turbo in the country, I know.

To be completely honest....these cars can take a beating.....thats what they were made to do.
Even if the guy was aggressive with the car it isn't gonna make a bit of difference to you except that now you have a new clutch to beat on.
I beat the crap out of my 2G eclispe for 138k miles......and the only thing I replaced was a clutch and a two timing belts. The EVO is 4X the car and made to take abuse. Odds are you will get the car beat the crap out of it and sell it before you have any problems.
If the car drives great and doesn't have any problems now you are good to go. Just make sure you check with mitsu to verify there is an existing warranty.
When I bought my EVO (used) I told the guy I dont care how he drove it because no one is worse on cars than I am. At 19K miles I am on my fourth set of tires.
If the car is strong.....work out a great deal and get it.

That's the way I see it.

What dyno is this on. Aerocomp or CFT. Because if it is Aerocomp that explains it. That dyno reads really high. About the stock blah blah blah. I tihnk you have the fatest stock turbo on this board, not in the country

Check out the link with the Bogus 469 whp on stock turbo on the HIGH READING DYNO, no wonder you claim 400whp. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=144371
P.S. Why don't you add to the sig that it was ont he Aercomp dyno

^Damn...I'm not getting involved in that. 
I will say this. The Evo is a strong car, but the clutch has been known to be a weak link. Perhaps it's an effort by the brilliant men at Mitsu to protect the rest of the car or simply a design flaw. Either way, I've driven the Evo like an Evo (not a Buick, which may be percieved by some as abuse) and my clutch is still working great after 16.5k. Check the rest of the car and don't make a determination based solely on the clutch alone.

Show me the dynosheet you speak of on 93 octane at 390whp. I showed you mine so this should be a simple request.
You have to dyno in the correct gear for that dyno. It is not a "cheap" (relative to dyno costs) dyno, it is a complex $125k+ precision unit. The settings are calibrated for measurement in a certain speed range and more recently have been calibrated to meet dynojet readings =even. You put it in 4th or 5th and the numbers get a little bent. Some found this out the hard way as the dyno day came right after the calibration and this issue was unknown. 3rd gear pulls on a 5sp are rock solid accurate, 4th gear gets a little bent due to additional load and hence boost and partially it runs out of it's accuracy range. BoostedJoe has since rerun at 3rd gear runs at 408whp, a few mods later 432. It is accurate.
Those others you spoke of came the weekend after Mustang came down and calibrated the unit as this is like one of 5 dyno's of it's kind in the country.

If the car feel good to you, doesn't show any machanical symtons and you get a good deal (good price) then get it. The car is on a stock clutch which is good since it implies the tranmission cannot take any more abuse than it should have.
The evo is damm easy to fix for a pretty low price compare to other high performance cars so keep that in mind. 15k on stock clutch is consider normal if the guy was driving it did some clutch slippings at the light for the launch.
Get it if you feel good about it. :-)
