Panasonic is what I had stock in my Mazda 
Does a washer fluid reservoir really weight enough to justify relocation, especially since now you have to run the little hoses all the way to the front? weird.
me likes the divorced wastegate on the turbine outlet, wonder if the downpipe is divorced stock?

The trunk looks quite compact with the battery sitting up in it like that. .. but I reckon there's still room for the spare tire right in the center under the carpet.
The Chevy Cobalt / Pontiac G5 has the battery in the trunk but it's underneath the carpet next to the spare. I guess AWD drivetrain stuff must have gotten in the way of doing that for the Evo.

Panasonic batteries aren't too bad.
Although I'll be replacing mine with something smaller and lighter to cut weight.
I like that the downpipe has a divorced WG, however, that thing looks hella restrictive. I'll definitely be going with a downpipe on mine.

The turbo impeller doesn’t look good once again for rallies as the earlier Evo 9 kept breaking the moment it was fixed with the 32mm restrictor and ended up using the Evo 8 turbo which was very strong. Hope the Evo X turbo would hold the 32mm restrictor….![]()

Its about 20-25lbs lighter.
That is significant weight savings. What's the price?I'll be replacing mine later down the road with one of these....

I can think of another way to save weight, and it involves me getting on my tread mill...
