Your 325 doesn't have either, so good luck and have a nice day!
Wrong, the turbo is too small to make 400whp unless you upgrade. Cams are less aggressive, mivec only on intake side, and internals are weaker. Just because it uses the same block as evo X doesn't mean it'll make 400whp just as easy as evo X.

But when these things are built, watch out!
