No. While the turbo was changed, it's had the same engine since its introduction as a 2004.

I was reading his post with my jaw hanging open. Thanks for doing the work to respond to him, took the words right out of my mouth.

If you get a EJ, hope you enjoy those ringland failures. And being slower than a X5 with a JB4, even if your STI is tuned.
