At the risk of starting a war Evil or Very Mad i tell you my lil story.
I was seriously keen on buying an SW20 turbo about 5 years ago and had a couple of test drives in 2 available cars at the time.They were lovely to drive no doubt and very fast but they just did not feel as fast or nimble as the AW11 SC i had driven previously even though it is undisputable that a standard SW20 Turbo is slightly faster than a standard AW11 SC at least in a straight line.
The SW20 just felt bigger and heavier and more Camry like to drive than the amazingly nimble and sharp steering AW11 SC.The low down torque and power of the AW11 also made it feel faster than the SW20 which made huge power but all above 4000rpm.
That's probably why your 4agze powered car felt faster.
Regards Superaw11.

Ok,the AW11 is polished up,I have my snake skin boots and skin tight stretch jeans on.
All to do now is wait for my mullett to grow and find my Duran Duran t-shirt and I'm back baby.

get your hands on a ST205 or ST185RC air to water cooler. that setup properly will provide you more cooling capacity and shorter charge piping to boot. and you can keep your aircon.
