Good Morning Everyone,

I thought I would say hi, I'm Andy, from Essex.

I have just signed up for the forum as I am currently in the process of buying myself an Evo VIII (Still looking for the right one). I have wanted one for quite some time and this year is the year! The thing is that I have been looking at all the different models (FQ-280, FQ-300, FQ-320 etc) and I am wondering what the fundamental differences are?

Basically I wouldn't mind getting myself an FQ-280 and modifying it for more power however I am concerned that if I did get the factory lower power Evo is it easily possible to have that running at the same power as the higher powered models? I have done a little bit of a google search but nothing has really explained what the differences are between the FQ-280, FQ-300, FQ-320 etc?

Any recommendations will be hugely appreciated! The car will be rebuilt as a show car over time regardless and will be garaged for the most part of the year

All input is appreciated,

Andy

Hello andy....iv got the gsr 260 and is easy capable of over 400bhp so yeah they can all be tuned. The 260 has a slightly smaller turbo and milder cams, dont know the difference between the fq280 300 320 probably just the map on the ecu
