Detailed review, wallpaper pics for 09 JCW

Check out this link for a very detailed description of the JCW engine mods: it seems more was changed than previously reported. It also includes a few hi-res wallpaper pics.

I like the wallpapers.. And it's an interesting article.
IMHO, it seems pretty uninformed, in that, the JCW does not come with any different sound system, or suspension, etc. Of course these are AVAILABLE..
But, otherwise, it gives a few brief snips of the engine internals, and a fancy way to say twin-scroll turbo... :silly:

Anybody read that comparison of JCW vs. the mitsu and subies, cobalt ss, etc.? I think that was a pretty good article!!

More info than I've seen, but I don't get out much

Heretofore, the only specs I've seen mentioned a different turbo and pistons in addition to the intake, exaust, ECU mods. I didn't know the heads were different, the valves, catalyst, air mass meter, ducting, turbo blades, etc...
