You will miss the low down torque, but with that turbo you will love the top end pull. The feeling once it spools is amazing, love driving my car more than the LS1's

Low down torque is for pre schoolers.

1999 vs ute series 3
I will miss the down low torque of the m90 but even in NA form the ecotec make a decent amount of it and with the .82 rear housing I don't see it being very laggy at all. Cant say ive ever been a turbo man but they have definitely grown on me over the past few months.

VY SS 6spd Ute / VS 5spd L67 Ute III
i've got a WRX as my daily, and i love the ute more :p just that feeling of instant power haha the last time i took the ute for a spin it had stockies on it and i didnt think about what car i was in and i just put my foot down only to find myself sliding down the road :/ haha but the turbo flutter does get me everytime lol
just wish i had money to throw at the ute and get it intercooled >_<

What you won't miss with a L67 is dropping a house deposit to make 250rwkw
