[QUOTE="Golfer, post: 786798, member: 15668"] S9 - Wow, quite surprising that the scooby has so much turbo lag. Are you sure it is using a standard turbo. At 4400 rev, the standard turbo should have kicked in. There are cetain things i like abt the scooby, esp the sound of the boxer engine. The growl is quite intimadating to the uninitiated. Is yours an STi model? I would have thought the E9, using the VIII MR Bilstein suspension would be pretty similar to the STis. If yours is the WRX version, then it should be normal. I thought the standard Sti has a whp of approx 280, which is similar to the IX. IX has slightly more (2 or 3) but should not be much more. So, quite surprising. Now we know. Sorry, what is FC ? (ignorant) Running in performance brake pads are quite normal. So, don't be too concerned. A friend of mine installed a set of front 4-pot APs on his Euro R and during run-in period, the car almost always feels like being halted when you step on the brakes. Now, its fine. Even with new cars, the brake pads needs some time to run-in. I felt the same with the standard IX brake pads. Notiguy - same question from S9 - Does the wheels touch the fender using 18s? As the Evos have very small turning circle, i don't think this should be a problem right? Could be an issue if the car is lowered too much though.??? [/QUOTE]
