    Was the evo cheap? And did the guy say about problems you found?

    evo5 was $12000.. original. no mods. from the outside, it was mint.. he polished it and everything.. really put in the effort for bodywork.. but the mechanical side was soo bad...

    i told him id nevr buy it with that many problems, not for that price.. i offered him $2000 as it was... or get everything fixed ... he never rang me back..

    then i found the nz new vr4.. and jumped straight away!

    Yeah I would take vr4 over evo5 any day. I never been a fan of evo's till I got to drive a evo9 wagon and evo10 and to me the evo1 to evo6 always felt like just hotted up grandmama car with the trubo engine and body kit with bigger wheels.

    thats a pretty turbo for a 2.5. by 76/28 i assume he means gt2871
    about similar to a 18g td05 I think.

    but with the hard work done on manifolds etc it would be easy to bolt a bigger turbo on.
