As some of you may know. I've had a MY96 turbo for a while and I have just upgraded to a nice x reg classic MY00.

It feels completely different in terms of handling, the engine feels and responds differently, the turbo seems to boost quicker and feels more powerful.

So, my question is, what exactly are the differences in terms of engine / suspension / turbo between the two models

 

Try having a look here

I'm fairly sure the suspension is a bit stiffer, bigger brakes, more BHP plus countless other improvements were made....

 

Quite a lot....
Turbo (TD04 instead of TD05) hence boosts quicker, but not quite so aggressive.
Runs higher boost then an MY96 (just under 14psi Vs 11.47psi)
Different shocks/sping rates
Different Gearbox
Different Heads/Cams
Bigger Brakes
Different Ignition System
More advanced ECU
Not sure about the block.......
