Talking Evo vs. STi Shootout Article (Import Tuner)
Here is a teaser from the Evo vs. STi article in this months Import Tuner magazine, it's available now....so pick it up to read the rest!

You'll notice that it says "broke" under my Time Attack lap, that morning I was having issues with the BOV (aftermarket) sticking open and throwing codes, so the car kept going into limp mode unfortunately...perfect timing haha! After babying it thru the 5-Lap event (still got 3rd ) we figured out the problem and went back to the OEM BOV and that solved the problem, although it fluttered a bit under full load. Thanks to AMS for the trackside help!!

Here is the video from the relay race portion...go Evos!!!!

Onto the teasers...enjoy:





And a pic during the relay race (GoPro video to come soon on the web)

Damn I wanted to see what you ran without issues. Do you have any hot lap times there without engine trouble?
