I would say no need to unless you want to do internals. I'm at about 9psi with twin GT-28 turbos.

It's not too exciting. The car looks pretty sleeper on the outside and the motor looks like it's sportin' some injen intakes. The only give away is the FMIC.

Back to the OP's question ...

The biggest concern you should keep in mind is your power train warranty is history. If you break something, it'll come out of your pocket.

I don't think the two cars are comparable. My guess is a boosted G37 with suspension and brake mods will do pretty good on the track.

But the valet guys will NEVER put an EVO in front of the restaurant!

Ferris Bueller knows.

I've let the valet at respectable restaurants park my car, but not since boosting though. I'm sure they would much rather "play" with the high end euro cars. They also look to busy to mess around.

It would be nice to have a cripple mode on my ECU though for just such occasions.

well i have been to these respectable places with valet parkers and well they just tell me to park it right up front and they never touch my car... im telling ya dog when you pull up to a nice place with a G37 that looks good, sounds good. mouths drop and the questions start.. suburu wrx well i messed around with one that was supposely boosted. and well from a roll he jumped the 3 thrid beep and got about 2 cars ahead so i down shifted and by the time i was about 3/4 the way through 4th at about 100 i was passing him..
camaros to i missed third and had my pup in my lap and still beat him.. what can i say at 140 with springs its alittle shakey.. cant wait until my coilovers show up.
