The FQ360 is a representation of maximum safe tuning on a stock evo X turbo/engine. Eye candy aside, the only differences performance wise between a normal GSR and the FQ360 would be:
1) HKS exhaust
2) HKS airfilter + HKS intake
3) ECU remap (boost modified)
It was also remarked in a recent episode of TOPGEAR (29/6/08) that the FQ360 isnt as fuel friendly as its FQ300 variant which makes sense to deduce that HKS did alter the boost range in the 360's ECU.
There's no difference between the FQ360 and the stock X GSR in that you can choose to make your GSR a 360 too. Just dump in a good exhaust, air filter and induction mods, boost controller and an ECUtek tune and u'll be running rwhp 360 easy.
They do get the sick carbon vortex generator.. damn.... i want that bad.

Yes thats a vortex generator. I think the key differences between stock American GSR and an UK GSR FQ360; Carbon lip spoiler, Vortex generator, Hks upper/lower i/c hard pipes, Hks Super Hybrid filter, Hks Exhaust system, ECU Re-map, Bilstein/Eibach suspension set up, Leather and Suede interior, Xenons, Rockford Fosgate screen/sat nav system and the steering is on the other side!
Might have missed something but thats about all I can think of

Creating the FQ-360 has been a two-stage project. The first step has been to improve the engine breathing. A racing-specification intake duct delivers more air to the revised intercooler, improving charge density, while a low-restriction catalyst and exhaust system improves things at the other end. These modifications are sufficient to add 30 hp to the stock 295-hp turbo engine (10 percent is what you generally expect with improved engine breathing), creating the FQ-330 engine.
Liberating an extra 30 horses means going to work on the fuel mixture. "We lean the mixture ahead of the spark," explains Brigden. "The turbo boost pressure has actually been reduced from 11.8 psi in the standard car to 10.3 psi in the 360." This has a negative impact on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, but a positive effect on the power output. In combination with a software reflash, these changes create the FQ-360 engine.
The official output for the FQ-360 engine is 354 hp at 6,500 rpm, and the torque production is an even more impressive 363 pound-feet at 3,500 rpm. "An output of 360 hp is about the most that's feasible from this engine," says Brigden. "If you start targeting 380-390 hp, you need to introduce new con rods and pistons, which adds dramatically to the cost."
$85 for boost controller
?$ piggy back w/tune
337AWHP 321AWTQ
so, a stock evo with just a tune can put out 330whp for around 100 - 200 bucks on 93oct.

I think its too early to put such a low number on the 4B11

^^^it's not about the HP. it's about what they do with it. I've seen all these american tuners getting all this HP out of the Evo but still not being able to touch the 0-62mph time that they have of 4.1 sec. vishnu only gets 4.7 and buschur with the ecotek and a couple bolt on are maybe doing 4.5. So..... HP - speed = 
(atleast for me)

(atleast for me)For sure it'd be neat to own one just because we don't see 'em here, but from a performance standpoint, it's too easy to match and even beat them for far less money.
