Oh, and '05 RS got an accesory package that included the aluminum sport pedals, shift knob, and gauge kit.
Here are the '06 changes:
MIVECKHHHH POWAH!
improved turbo
new front fascia
dark head and tailight housings
new enkei's for GSR and RS
MR gets new badge
new alcantra seats and high back rear seat in non SSL cars
different Momo wheel color
Aluminium pedals standard in GSR and MR
CF dash garnish
MR gets zero lift kit
also Rally Red changes hue (and code) for '05/'06

Wrong sir. The IX motor has revised coolant passages, which allow for the mivec and the extreme knock resistance of the IX's motor. I've seen a few dynos of 24+ psi (spike not held) on 91 octane **** water - not knocking.

Yes, the 03s are much slower than the 06s. I don't think you should worry just about making power by removing boost taper. There's no exact answer to that question, but it will be part of your basic mod path. Please don't ask how to make the turbo spool before you even have the car. That's taking the path to destruction here on EvoM...

surprised the first 5 thousand posts to the OP's initial post weren't just "search".
but in all honesty, search mate, u will find LOTS of information here. i've found answers to every single questions/problems i've had about the Evo on this board...it's VERY INFORMATIVE.
