Welcome me and my new EVO :)
love9sick - I believe manufacturers recommended breakin was 600 miles, but IMHO this is a myth, as many will tell you, and that beating it hard right from the get-go or waiting 600-1000 miles there is really no difference. As for the hesitation or "dying" after about 6k, I have the same problem... and most are saying that it is the pig rich condition coupled with the boost taper that creates this feeling, your just going to HAVE to mod it 
I can't wait to mod, thats one thing I missed so much about my VIII, the modding!

I have a question, I have around 800 miles on the car thus far. The car really runs weird past 5-5.5k RPM. Like it starts to vibrate and lose power or something. I thought break in was 500. Is it because it needs to break into 1000 miles like I have been hearing? lets freaking hopes so. I am pulling my hair out. It seems like the car is slower after 5k RPM. HELP PLEASE 
. It isn't even worth revving it past that.
Also it has a rough idle, is that normal. It isn't huge but you can notice the RPM needle fidget a little. The engine is suppsed to make that ticking sound too right? My friend said it is the timing belts and it is normal.
Sorry guys, new car paranoia.

I was just making a funny but still you should get all those parts (~85-100hp not even tuned!!!). Stock turbo cars seem to fall flat after 5k or so especially towards redline since they are generally rich. Also, the stock boost solenoid ( even though apparently better than any previous Evo) can still taper off boost. I have also read that the car is a different beast after break in. I would say give her until 1000k. If you need helping breaking it in, let me know
welcome to the club, Nice X, i like the stock kit, but im waiting to see what else comes out, I also have to say nice crib!!! and yeah i totally noticed the loss of power after 5 also, i have almost 1700 mls now and it feels like it revs more smoothly and the loss of power does not feel as significant but no matter what you will feel that a little because the boost pressure does decrease when you get closer to the redline, enjoy ur X, i know i am
