    I like the Evo's driveline but the '04-'05 STI body style. If I was to choos between the two, (all things equal mod-wise) I'd probably go with the STI. That's just more appealing to me (personally). But, that's marginally at best.

        why does everyone think fmic's = lag?

        them fuckers need to go back to their calculators and physics books. we live in the real world

          I like it myself. Kinda has that "Alpha Romeo/Pugeot cross" look about it. I'm actually liking the newest concept renderings of the upcomming cars.

            Ok, wouldn't a bigger IC and more piping equal more space to pressurize. Like on an air compressor with the same size pump, it well take less time to pressurize a 1 gallon tank then a 2 gallon tank. the same concept well apply to a intake system after the turbo.

              yeah. get out your stop watch and start doing tests.

              let me know how it goes

                    I'd pick a sti but i like both,

                    things i like about the sti, nice seats, adjustable headlights, i/c sprayer.

                    evo i dont really like any of the interior at all, except for the new recaro seats in the evo9.

                    other than that, sti's cost alot more to make fast, and just changing the plugs is a hassle.

                      Pretty sure I would sacrifice a 1/10th of a milisecond for much cooler denser air... and I dont know how you can say it only helps going in a straightline, Heat rises, so with a TMIC, you are heatingsoaking all the time..

                      no race car? becuz homeowner...

                              The TMIC on sti's see very little heat soak because of the way exhaust is removed, and the positioning of the actual IC, TMIC on say MS6 would definitely see difference

                                FMIC doesn't = lag, all the piping required = lag. as you've had to tell yourself many times, every inch counts.

                                  on a subaru (from experience) going to a FMIC from a TMIC did induce a fair amount of lag because of the stupid long pipes needed to get from the turbo to the front mount back to the throttle body.

                                  All things considered if we are talking USDM, the Evo is the best off the show room floor platform, has a ton of research already done in the US market for its motor and therefore is cheaper to mod.

                                  If we are talking overall STi vs Evo in the JDM world, I'll take a Spec-C S202/S203 over just about any other car on the road in a bang for the buck performance platform.
