saff - is your evo laggy as well? or is that just for the FQ models? I thought the newer turbo models are less laggy in general.

The 400 has a different turbo, am inclined to agree with Matt if he says the others are stock (not 100% sure myself). I have a friend with a 340 in the UK so will ask her when she comes online in a bit.

Mine isnt laggy at all and was something I noticed with the WRX of Evan's that I drove, it feels heavier and a bit more laggy than my Evo.

Im really up in the air about what Evo I want to get. I am keeping my cefiro as well.

I like the Look and the rawness of the Evo 6.5. But I loathe the interior, cheap plastic shit.

Evo 8s are all round better but also carry a slightly higher price tag.

What I want to know from you guys is , Is the 8 THAT much better handling/Grip wise or does its extra weight over the 6 make the cars similar.

Never forget 5 years ago when I went in my First Evo, was a white Tommi Mak 6.5 and its brutality was something outta this world!!

A blue EVO 9, with Bride Low Max seats, CE28s, aftermarket turbo with Yoko semis and empty 3am streets of Singapore. This car will hold a special place in my heart and i ever so badly wanted to get one.Almost enough to continue working in Singas so i could afford one... :laugh:

They do need more grunt...but a HKS GT-RS would get it going nicely :rofl:

Hmmm. Maybe i wont be so depressed when my car is the one colour :P

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
