Lightbulb Stock Turbo Comparison Pictures: 2006 Evo IX Turbo vs 2006 STi Turbo
Hey all...

I thought I would take the opportunity to do a direct side-by-side comparison of a stock 2006 Evolution 9 turbo and a stock 2006 STi turbo.

There is a BIG difference between the two. I guess this is why the stock Evo turbo can impressively outflow the stock STi turbo and put down a lot more power too...

The pictures speak for themselves

Pleasures mine.

Maybe this will help people in their infamous Evo or STi car buying confusion...

Yah, for the size of the turbo, it puts down good numbers.

A 18g would be nice though..stock

You would figure that subie would choose to go with a bigger turbo considering the 2500cc displacement.

The size difference is pretty crazy. The wheels look to be the same size but the housings are MUCH larger on the evo.
