Of course its cheaper to modify a DSM; they're 20 years old! That doesn't mean a lot of the knowledge that was learned from DSM's, then transferred to the Evo 8/9, can't also be transferred to the Evo X. Parts for the X are no more expensive than they are for the VIII/IX; you may not have as big of a selection yet, but the prices aren't out of line at all. In fact, your stock-frame turbos are actually cheaper. If you also look at it, the parts for the X are pretty much just next generation parts that have evolved from whats already available for the VIII/IX; again, no reinventing the wheel here. It really seems like thus far the biggest hurdle has been getting ECUFlash to work properly, but even so the car has only been out since 2008 which is a pretty damn fast learning curve!
