> [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/16502/43): > > awesome! congrats. > > how do you like it so far? The drive from NJ was wet and uneventful. I like the extra ‘stuff’ it has. The radio in the STI was about as good as what you could put together for $4.99 on eBay. The Evo X w/ the SSS pkg. has the RF system which (to my surprise) is VERY good. Plus it has a lot of other realllllly cool stuff I like. Oh yeah…the 4B11 is probably the best 4 cyl turbo powerplant on the road right nwo too. So that makes me 🙂 ---

In the end the old addage ‘money can’t buy happiness’ won out. I’ve always been an Evo guy. I thought I’d like the STI for a lot of reasons. Really those reasons never turned to a reality unfortunately.

Yeah the motor is VERY well engineered-I’m glad they didn’t put it in the IX like they originally planned and took the time to sort everything out. The new hybrid turbocharger and amazingly effecient factory o2 housing and downpipe make a world of difference also. Only car I know of that doesn’t really ‘gain’ power by going to a full turboback (catted) vs the factory setup. Only ‘major’ restriction seems to be the stock muffler (and cats of course).
