Future plans for the STi
As there have been no updates since January at the Vishnu website, I was wondering if there have been any updates concerning progress on the STi? Has Vishnu abandoned the STi to focus more on the Evo?

We're testing prototype Stage 2s right now. One today, in fact. We're also in the process of testing a new suspension package. Nothing currently available though. Still more testing to do.

We are currently testing our Garrett based ball bearing turbo on the STi. I can't release any numbers yet, but I should have more info in a couple of weeks. We will also be testing a 3037 if the 2.5 proves robust enough.
The Sti hasn't taken back seat to the Evo, the Evo has just been easier to upgrade due to the availability of parts such as injectors and cams. The STi stages are just going to take a little longer.
Please be patient....good things will come!
Thanks,
