They run 14.5 psi stock...how do you think they make 300 hp? That's how all these new turbo cars (evo, sti, srt-4) are making bigger power. They're all coming from the factory at high boost. I want to see how many will be blown up in a few years.

 

don't HATE EMO.... I can have it boosting safely at 17 psi. compression is pretty low. it's a vf39 which is not that small.... but down the road i'll upgrade

 

I'm not hating. All the new turbo cars are pretty nice. I just wish the car companies could come up with new techonolgy and new desgins to get it to that mark. Not just tricking out a previous model and selling as a new one. It's cool to get a tricked out car from the factory that was made to be modified, but how much room does that leave for tuners?

 

I didn't mean to come across as dissing your car. In all honesty, I'm a little jealous. haha. An STI is a nice nice car. Overall nice. I REALLLY like how the evo's look! That front mount is just hot. An STI is quick too. I got to race one that barely lost to a stock TT the week before. i mean, to my STG III, it was just fun to see how it did. It did well, very quick car. The car seemed to have gotten to 40 realllly quick!
