Is there a button in either the evo 8 or 9 that you can press to change it from AWD to 2wd????????????

IIRC there is a switch that you can activaly change the lsd in the tcase but I think the max is 90/10 or vice versa. I know that you cant make it strictly fwd or rwd though

the 05 has ACD that you can change the power ratio to the wheels for varying road conditions. There are 3 settings that shift power depending on road slickness that there is button for to the left of the stearing wheel.

The % power shift is available for lookup on the net.. I dont remember it.

the only way to make an evo 2wd is to take the rear driveshaft out. The Active center differential (ACD) in the later 8s and all 9s doesn't actually change the power bias.

here's a great writup on the ACD and how it works:
