Evoltuion VIII FQ-300
Is this true? Is there a new Evo coming out stock with better performance?

They change the exhaust, the ECU and the boost level (mechanically). I think they also have a few carbon parts in the interiour etc.
The FQ is basically a mild tuning with a warranty and works out more expensive and less good than you tuning it right with a better exhaust and ECU. The only plus point is that it has a warranty. But as stated above, this car is only available in the UK.

I have been e-mailing them to inquiry about purchasing ECU and other intake and exhaust pieces they employ in their kit but they never respond.
Good tuners? Probably. Good business practices? Not in my book.
They could easily respond with a "not for export sales" in about 5 seconds instead of blowing me off. If they are not going to respond to contacts through their website, they should remove the option.

That's a pretty bold statement to make. Especially for a moderator. I personally know the folks who recalibrated the ECU for the FQ and I'm tempted to give their work a lot more credit than what we usually see in the aftermarket.

FWIW, the ECU calibrator was subcontracted from outside the company specifally to tune the ECU.
