Eh that sucks but makes sense since the engines between those years were the same. For future reference, the power difference was in the turbo with the 10.5 hotside being in the 05. Now if it had an IX engine swap that would be more believable but for the cost of a swap they have invested into power mods that would give the same gains for much less.

Keep in mind swapped engines are extremely common. Not everyone does a huge power over haul when they pop a head etc; most people get a salvage engine and call it a day. It's easy to forget in an environment like this where the majority of users are performance oriented and so forth..... for every one of us there are five evos out there that people just bought like buying a honda and when their belt breaks they will get a $2500 junkyard engine and move on with their life.
