Now theres a man with intel and experience speaking the truth. Thanks warr, Ive read a lot of your helpful posts.
Sorry Ryan, I do remember a slight pull with a passenger in my car.
And it is you I blame for buying one of these. If your car wasnt so nice, I wouldnt be paying $600 a month right now for my IX. Keep her clean and beautiful as you have. Never thought white could look so good. Wanna cruz 2 night? 
Ryan, I also agree with you about the posts, but its pretty irratating when you try to read about things people have tried with thier IX and all you see is pages of jibber of EVO VIII owners. Theres way more pages of EVO VIII stuff, go there, stay out of the EVO IX posts.
And the MIVEC does produce a broader torque and hp curve. Thats why the MIVEC was used. Spool up time is assited, but not much sooner than an VIII because of its size difference.
And those of you who think its just the turbo, install a EVO IX turbo on your car, you will NOT make the same power curve and ultimately be slower at the end of the 1/4.
Japanese tuners were forced to use older heads before because of the parts available, and they already know what works with the older head. The 4g63 has been around 16 years. Recently cam development has just surfaced for the IX.
But if the start of all of this is due to posts that are not helpful with no or wrong information. At least back up your statments with facts or what makes you think the way you do, other than what retyping what youve read.

See evil evo, shows what you know.
If you keep posting the same wrong information over and over, it doesnt make it true. No offense, I just believe you've been mislead.

I've owned, modified and rebuilt Mitsubishis for 10 years. Knowing their track record, in terms of reliability, I'd rather not have MIVEC. Just more **** to fail. For the slight gain in hp that you get, I'd rather just keep it simple with fewer parts. When it comes down to it, more parts = greater probability for a failure. But that’s just an opinion, and you know what they say about those.

I've never owned a Mitsu that wasn't TCed.
Remove the TC from your car and tell me if you feel a SLIGHT decrease in hp.
The TC adds a lot more than 10hp/3lb.ft.
Notice I stated... "For the slight gain in hp that you get". Until you spend countless hrs working on these cars you would never understand.

so it seems like 9 owners are more proud that they bought a car that's faster from the factory and did minimum mods to be fast and the 8 owners are proud they took another car that's probally not as responsive and put more time and money into it to make it fast. Now they're both good cars... but i'd rather side with the 8 owners (even though it's stupid to take sides here about this anyways... this is worse than Evo Vs. STI arguments). I'd rather have a not as good car and make it fast and brag than just buy a fast car and not to **** to it and have it fast... ie: I'd rather own a 240sx and make it fast as hell rather than just buy a ferrari.. More pride i guess... 
This thread is dumb and it totally went off topic from the origional post.

Just get a IX turbo solved!!!
So whats so different about the turbo? Both cars use the 16g. The difference is in the tuning buddy.
