A quality standalone ecu with drive-by-wire capability + tuning would range from 3-6k alone (depending on brand and tuner). Add in a custom turbo manifold, the turbo, intercooler, labour etc. and 15k get's eaten through pretty damn quickly.

to be honest 15k i might aswell sell my car and add the 15k to it...lol. should be near enough for something lik an evo 8 or wrx......

i honestly probably wouldnt get rid of my euro for an evo or rex.....lol. the euro is luxury with style but i wouldnt mind abit more pofermance out of it. abit more power and the euro would be the perfect pakage for me....:angel: i would love to turbo my euro but cost to much.....LOL it doesnt take a genuis to know its not realli worth it if its lik 15k for the job:(

i agree with you... you cant show off the full potential of an STI or EVO on the streets.... and chicks will always go for black heated leather seats and a sunroof, over cloth bucket seats and windows down ruining their hair anyday ;) lol

lol when my euro dies, EVO X for me.
As a family car. >_<

else i will really suck it up and boost the euro. <-- & get killed by my other half at the same time.

WRX sedan is launched in November 2008. If it's as quiet and refined as the ugly hatch then it might be an option. But; big but, the crap suby interior is still too much of a negative and makes the Euro very much more positive despite the lack of real grunt. Same money as the WRX gets you a nice fancy Euro.

yeh stupid hatch ruined it, should do an anniversary for the 22B.

anyhow weight reduction tint your rear windows darkest and have your rear seats yanked out of your euro.
add roll cage and all hahah....

^^ don't forget to remove cigarette lighter, it adds an additional 10 grams on unecessary weight :-)

why bother take your whole center glovebox console out.

just have barebone handbrake and no trim.

the new WRX doesnt even look aggressive... it looks like a chicks car... id be ashamed to drive one... compared to the evo IX, damn that thing looks angry! :thumbsup:

new WRX STI is EJ25 isnt it? crazy!
