Ralliart I suppose? They make their own correct?

shiv correct me if I'm wrong but the boost control function of the xede makes it pointless to modify the wastegate actuator, correct? I mean you remove the pill from the line but that's it no?

This looks great but could these numbers be right? 330bhp, 315ft-lbs?

That looks like a Vishnu Stage 1 (assuming both dynos are reading the same - a big assumption). The 0-60 times are close. But, Stage 1 needs a turboback and cam gears and the FQ330 doesn't.

What gives?

Damn, gotta get me an evo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure that the stage 1 puts down more than 330hp. they put down around 300WHP so that should be close to 360-370hp as measured by Mitsu, at the crank.

If this FQ 330 will be available to U.S. I'll trade in my 03 Evo. Those 330 sure is a lot better than 271.

If MSRP is around $31K for a loaded EVO a FQ would have to be around $35K. Can anyoune covert that price to american$$$. Ooops, I just thought of something. The reason are car has 271HP, emissions!!!!!!

dont forget they have almost 100 octane gas over there; that has to be the reason they get so much with so little upgrade

Isn't 98 RON, RON being the worldwide rating for fuel similar to our 93?
