Considering stock this motor made 271hp on the motor or 230whp .. this 145whp gain was enough!

My mods are in the my sig.

Cant argue with that. very nice increase. what 02 housing are you using? my biggest gains in trq were from switching from a ported megan to a MAP open dump.

Hey Turbojunkie,

I don't know. Sadly I bought this Evo with all of its mods already done except the new 1200cc's PTE's.

I imagine it's another ebay piece like the tube header.

I just listened to what doing the 02 house dump setup sounds like..

no thanks!

I'm going to go with this ..

^ just be ready to extend your o2 wiring (or move to driver side), and keeping the donut/downpipe connection sealed takes a minute of thought on the Invidia. On the stock turbo just go with a Megan or Titek.

legit on the stock 2005 turbo not a 9. Billy is going to be our Works driver this year in the white car. I dont hire liars and I try to keep the exaggerators to a minimum

aaron

Specifically-

Nearly stock head (if anything minor bowl work)
9.5:1 Custom coated JE's that were meant for the 1G drag car
Comp 280s
SD
Magnus
MA Dump downpipe
1000s
E85
Me

We have another one that did 465whp with the FP flow enhancement cover on a bad clutch. I am curious to see what it does with a triple in it.
