    My experience with driving an STi and EVO is this: The STi is a lot torquier (is that a word???) than the EVO. It's a little more liveable for every day driving and every day tasks. However, I've been VERY impressed with what you can get out of an EVO with bolt ons. Honestly, for a stay stock or very lightly modded, I would probably go with the STi. With modest mods, no doubt EVO. All out? Pick one. Of course, I'm a Mitsu guy so I've have a natural bias towards the EVO.

    BTW If you like drag racing, you might be better off with the EVO 5 speed. EVO 6 speeds and STi have an extra shift required.

    Just my two cents worth.

    Evo's can definately be modded easily. Mainly because the motor has been around for so long. Bolts ons already existed. The Sti motor was pretty much an unknown and it took 1 year for the ECU just to be cracked. Some EM companies are still working on versions for it. So it's has been behind the learning curve alot. That said, people are really starting to see the potential of it now with adding new turbos and such.
    My dyno numbers are bigger than your dyno numbers

Maybee its time for you to MAN-UP and tell the truth.



    But you are not a casual observer so it doesnt count. If you were one of our customers you would know that we go above and beyond the call of duty on each and every car we work on. We stay late, get here early, give information to every customer who wants to talk to us and on top of that we do great work and stand behind everything we do. Did i mention we dont charge customers for un-needed work.

    REMEMBER: JUST BECAUSE WE DONT TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE DOES NOT MEAN WE DONT TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS WELL. EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS WE DO OUTSTANDING WORK. ITS REALLY FUNNY, ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS SOMEHOW BECOME OUR FRIENDS............WE MUST TREAT THEM LIKE SHIT AND THEY MUST LOVE IT.
    its a known fact that BG does great work. i know that other shops know that. its undeniable and shows in the cars you put out and the numbers you lay down...i only wish i had the money to do some of the projects you guys have been doing. but reading some of the comments from previous threads that are now long gone) that have been thrown back and forth from some of your custy's and sometimes yourselves leaves me wondering that since you guys are so good and your business is so strong, then why do you even insist on adding fuel to the fire or not asking some of your more devoted clients not do the same?
    i have no beef with either of the shops, i have never been to either of the shops, and have also never met anyone from either of the shops. so i have no basis to be biased to one or the other (aka not condemning 1 shop and praising the other)

    Ok so what do I have to observe or look to sprar the intercooler??
    As far as modding it, since the car cost more than 30 grand, I don't think I'll be modding it much at all.

    All I need right now is a fast car,daily driver and reliable(doesn't need mantainance all the time)
