Evo X or 370Z???

$6000 for 400+whp? MAYBE for parts but definitely not with professional install and tune. My issue with the Evo other than the barren interior is that (like many 4cyl turbos) at high speeds they feel like they hit a wall. My buddy has the first year 2004 STi and it feels damn slow accelerating end of 3rd and above and he makes 275whp.

Using the boosted performance kit I'd say you can get the Z to 500whp for ~9000. Not too shabby, certainly not as cheap as getting an evo to those numbers but I think the Z's engine would be able to handle the power a bit better.

I've gotta be careful to not spend too much on engine bolt ons with this car, you can very quickly hit the price of a good turbo kit staying NA.
