How does an evo feel?
Well I rode in my friends 06 sti with cobb stage 1 flash.. well let me tell you it pulled. I have a 04.5 VW Jetta GLI that I am getting rid of for a 2003 Evo VIII... Just wondering when does boost kick in"RPM wise" how many pounds.. and can you feel the kick to it?

going from the 1.8t world to the evo...night and day. You just have to drive it, cannot be explained properly.
|
well,i went from a MKIV gti with bolt ons,to an evo....and its a whole different world.At first i thought the evos turbo lagged compared to the lil K03,but when that boost kicks in....just WOW
and IMO it feels waaaay better than the STi.test drive both cars if u can |
yeah that k03 is a little weak lol.. thanks can't wait for it!! how many pounds does a evo spike and hold?..... edit: what kind of mods would I be looking at to add to the evo to keep up to the cobb stage 1 sti?
|
Only one way to describe it.. ride in or drive one
Find someone in the Charlotte / Rock Hill area and ask for a ride. Or come down here to MB. Even though I have a highly modded IX, a modded VIII is "close-ish".. When boost kicks in, hold on.. lol |

ohh thats on the stock turbo BTW:mitsu: {thumbup} stock evos i think spike 19.5psi and taper to 14.7 or something.but all you would need to beat a Cobb stg1 is and exhaust and a MBC/tune...evos have Open Ecu which means we dont need to buy a tuning''CHip'' like APR or REVO on the VWs do a lil reading,evos are amazing |

seriously though... you have to drive one. EVO is in a completely different league compared to VW's |

Just wondering when does boost kick in"RPM wise" (3000-3200) how many pounds (19 spike, settles 15-17).. and can you feel the kick to it? YES
Main con: It lacks ANY torque without boost. Aside from that it's a beast. |

boost is more fun 1-60mph, especially with alot of turns.
if you try it, you will buy it |
