Impressive!
My new Evo (2013) looks just like yours, same options, only white.
I of course had an upgrade path in my head well before purchasing...you're making me reconsider.
Any concerns about running E85 long-term?
Also, I though an intake was more or less a cosmetic/aural upgrade, and no real gains are be had unless doubling stock hp (or thereabouts) was the goal. You obviously think otherwise...thoughts?
I'm thinking MHI turbo, associated piping, port/polish manifold, fuel accessories, and I should be set.

Not here in California, I've been running my Evo 8 on purely E85 for 4+ years with no issues and ran it on my RA Sportback for two years. See my thread on that here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/e8...years-e85.html
Yea I tend to agree but I want to test it out and see what happens. Plus, there is always a chance of upgrading the turbo in my future. 
I might end up back with a CBRD BBX Lite. That thing is just awesome on E85 for a street car. I *loved* it on my RA sportback.

Power looks great. Must admit that I'm very impressed with the gains from only a test pipe (and E85 and a tune). I'd love to see the pre- and post-turbine pressures for stock and the current setup.
I'm kinda drooling over the new HKS 8262 turbo for the 10. Wish they would make one for the 8/9.

One thing to note however is I'm keeping the boost down with all the stock flow parts. At no point am I using 100% WGDC yet.If I upgrade the turbo, it will probably be the CBRD BBX Lite like I had on my RA Sportback. It's a great street turbo on E85.

Great to see your threads popping up again. I'm a big fan. 
Sidenote-- You'll pick up more with a full downpipe than with an intake. Looking forward to your steps.

Could you measure the ID of the AEM and OEM MAF pipe? I'm just curious. I've read the stock MAF housing in 68.39mm (about 2.692") ID.
