I've had a few evo's and I had a relatively std evo 6 (exhaust and filter) that made 315bhp on the rollers and was a quick car. Had one with a few more mods and power FC that made circa 350bhp mapped by abbey m'sport and it was a very fast road car.

On the flip side I bought a 5 the other day and it was slow as fook! Put a boost gauge on it though and it was making fook all boost. Found a few problems (dv leaking off, plugs shafted, split hose etc) and sorted them.. she's now up to std power and goes better. I'm gathering the parts for 350bhp min and then I know it'll be a nice quick road car.
tbh tho a 315bhp 4x4 aint quick when your used to a 450bhp 2wd, it was a significant lack of power or general excitement.
