Funny. I guess it all depends what car you're swiching from. I had modded Acura RSX Type S before EVO and now I actually think that I have more power down low then before.

another hmmm...
Hey, if you want F/I without lag... get a supercharger...
but life in S/C, i think sucks... get used to the power... no more suprise or rush of boost, u'll get used to it like anything else... after a month u'r going to think the car came like that
The Evo has almost nooooooo lag, making it a stunner on the rally/circuit scenes... very drivable car but potent power on tap, just over 3k... sweeeet
once again just my 2c

There is a stroker kit for the evo.. check with jun.. But it is gonna cost you.. Try exhaust and some tuning 1st.

sounds like somebody needs a programmable ecu with anti-lag. question is can you live with the noise and the flames?
Anti-lag??? Can you also live with replacing the turbo every day?

you won't have to replace your turbo everyday, maybe once every year!!!
seriously though, anti-lag can be turned on and off with a switch. so you can drive with it off most of the time and turn it on when you need it.
don't have it on mine, but know a couple of guys who do, and it is something

I find it very hard to believe that Mitsubishi would install a "restrictor gasket" for US emissions. The JDM version of our car has only 5hp more that we do (276HP). You said you have actually done this MOD? Pictures please! If this is true...
