Old School FP Green Mellon Tuned 93 octane 426/406
So i have been having Chris tune my car since 08 as i have changed parts etc. I know he is very busy now so figured i would post this up
dip up top is not a big deal for me because i spend 99% of the time under 6500k (a lot of commuting and dont drag etc and i am old ) but like most you out there (hp addicts ,lol) i am looking at more aggressive cams and a non stock wga to see what i can do up top hp and torque wise, stay tuned.. i am very please with the result considering the pretty mild cams i have and minimal mods
EDIT 6/8/2010Here is the DLL version

Put an 18psi WG actuator in the car. It will completely become a new beast. I had to re-rune when I added mine. You will see that boost will come on sooner and hold more toward red line. As you will see, my mods are similar to yours. My power levels are close to yours as well.
What cone filter are you using? I ask because I found that some filters flow better than others.

buschur cone filter. it is looking a little tired but it is a dry filter so not sure of the best way to clean it. i am looking at the upgraded wga and cams then will re-tune i do not think a ported exhaust mani will give me much. are you making similar power on the vdr?

The Buschur cone is nice. I've seen small K&N filters cause issues up top with not flowing enough.
You will think you have a whole new car by upgrading the WGA. I couldn't believe the difference when I did mine. I boost 27-28 ish psi at peak and it only tapers to 25 by redline. This is a vast improvement over the stocker.
Porting the exhaust mani will help, albeit it slight. You may as well port match the head too while you are at it. It takes no time at all to do the port match on the head. Since you will be porting away, port the turbo too, if it isn't already done so. Every little bit helps.

thanks for the info. yeah the hks cams are not the most aggressive out there. i see about 21ps at redline. i will probably leave the exhaust manifold as if as it does not seem to make that much of a difference. i am curious on your vdr with the similar dynojet settings. you can me if you do not want to post up. its cool to see a car with nearly identical mods because there are so many choices

Base was 25-26psi on stock WGA. Comparison was 27-28psi peak on the 18psi WGA.
I won't be pushing it any more than this as I am still on the stock bottom end. Oh and for the record my Green is the old school one too.
I, like you, am an "old guy" by import standards. I don't think there is much more of a need for more as I don't use most of it anyhow. The car is great for AutoX though let me tell you. The power is so responsive.

Yeah, I plan on keeping the Evo and making it the "toy". My next vehicle will be some kind of double cab truck. I too have a little one and teen agers that I have to transport around.
So as you can see, there is still plenty in your car. The WGA will certainly give you some great bang for the buck. I recommend turning the boost down when you first install it. The added pressure it has will cause you to over boost pretty easily. I speak from experience. I put mine on and didn't turn the boost down. The car hit 33psi....WTF....scared the hell out of me. Luckily it held together.
