My Evo IX is a piece of sh_t

I had my evo for about 3 weeks, and to tell you the truth i was never impress with the power from the begining no torque whatsoever, im stock just a k&n drop in filter and a lower pipe, today i installed an autometer gauge and to my suprise this think is only boosting 15 psi, it only has 1200 miles. to tell you the truth i regret trading my stage 2 wrx, and speding all the money i did on getting this car(the evo), the wrx felt way more powerfull and i felt more torque, and i was boosting 16 psi on the wrx turbo that looked like a soda can, what a shame mitsubishi, this is not flaming anybody it just my experience with this car, i regret getting, but anyways i guess im ****_D. Thanks for reading.

Know what your talking about before putting down the car.15 psi isn't normal.

Quit crying, fix the boost, and get a reflash. The IX like that will DESTROY a Stage 2 WRX.

but you say the wrx was a torque machine, probably so, but how would you know if you havent beat the evo up?!

all im saying is, give it time, good things come to those that wait. The aftermarket industry has parts to cure all of lifes problems.
