The 1GGTE doesn't make as much power as either the 7MGTE or the 1JZGTE. It's kinda a novelty because not many people have them...but there is a reason for that. :D

Stick w/ the 7M or go 1JZ or 2JZ.

Hmmm....touche.

However, I'm sure if they had the option of a larger displacement engine (STi's 2.5 liter) they'd rather have that. Don't handicap yourself...

my feeling on the evo is this: if you're going to be pushing 18.5 psi out of the factory, you sure as hell better be making more then 300hp... not 285...at the crank.

Have you seen the size of a stock evo turbo?

i'm guessing it's pretty small...isn't it.. :nono:

hmmm...and i guess they couldn't have run a bigger turbo, needing less boost, as that would have probably yielded spool problems... am i getting somewhere with that? :icon_conf

I don't know what you're trying to say. Anyway, it's kinda hard to legitimately hate on a car that runs 13s stock and has great track potential.
