Question This noob is about to either learn or break a car

After years of browsing here and there I finally decided to register. Why would I choose now? Well im at 99,800 miles and I want to do all the stuff I said I wanted to do on my 2011 ralliart. It took me this long because I have no experience with this any of this im scared to break it... I can work on helicopters but cars i dont know anything at all. Im not sure what to ask but right now im just adding stuff on amazon and once i have what i need ill order it:
  • Chilton Repair Manual does not exist? This would help not ruin the car.
  • ECU tunning (can I do this? i saw in a few places that you can just download it online).

Here is my current shoplist:
  • Ramps
Amazon Amazon
  • Torque Wrench
Amazon Amazon
  • Bleed Kit
Amazon Amazon
  • Exhaust
Amazon Amazon
  • Fuel Pump
Amazon Amazon
  • Break Pads
Amazon Amazon
Amazon Amazon
  • Break Fluid
Amazon Amazon
  • Intake
Amazon Amazon
  • BOV
Amazon Amazon
  • Cabin Filter
Amazon Amazon
  • Harbour Freight:
Trim Clip Puller
Mallet
Allen Keyes

I have sockets, im trying my best to inform my self but man there are so many out of date pages.

UPDATE
  • SST oil change

Excellent post! Thanks for joining us

Many of us w/EvO's were able to download the service manual here: https://evoscan.com/vehicle-manuals

But, it does not look like they have the RA manual. Check w/the other RA owners & find out if they have access to the manual

Welcome & cheers / Joe

Thank you for the welcome. I went to the site and got the LATEST 2019 EDITION ECUFLASH v1.44.4799... dont know what to do with it yet but i have the file and saved the link for later it seems very handy. went down a rabbit hole and found out that info on the SST oil filter... i have never done that so thats on the list now, man that oil is expensive.

That's actually not a cobb turbo. It's a MHI turbo from FP Performance.

Great choice. You will need Evo X manifold, Downpipe, upper IC pipes, induction tube/intake and FMIC to run it properly.

No need for the downpipe, at all. Save yourself a large amount of cash on the part and labor. Catback should take less than an hour labor. I highly recommend the Magnaflow over the Borla.

Air filter takes 5 minutes to install. You could do it yourself, even with no mechanical knowledge.

I would HIGHLY recommend not using a Cobb Accessport for a SST equipped Mitsubishi. Find a good tuner that knows the SST and tunes with Ecuflash.

You could spend less than $1k and get a good tune and boost solenoid and get the same power gains as what that quote is giving you for almost $3k.
