She drives her SUV to work. I drive my Evo to work. It doesn't work well if I don't have my Evo all the time.

just buy a used IX turbo, it should take care of it

Well I think hes already got the 10.5 housing. I think the lack of the mivec is the problem.

I know but the IX turbo is even bigger than the 05 turbos... Al tuned an 05 w/ a catback and a IX turbo and he said the gains from the turbo alone where very impressive!

Well again that might not be from the turbo its mostly likely due to the mivec.

bigger compressor housing, i believe the wheel is lighter also... Also, the MIVEC just helps with low end tq and spool

Actually boost falls faster close to redline with the MIVEC
