evo 8 turbo upgrades

Hello to all,
this is my 2nd post on this forum.
We currently make products for the WRX and MP3.
We are just trying to gauge an interest in upgraded turbo kits.

What would you all like to see?
Garrett or Mitsu turbo upgrades....perhaps t3/t's or t04's
or 18-25g mitsu upgrades?

Would you guys like tubular manifolds kinda like HKS?
Something like a manifold, turbo, wastegate, downpipe and oil line kit?

And other mods such as fuel ect. And standalone engine managment systems

All replies are fully appreciated. We look foward on becoming part of the family.

i dunno about everyone else, but id like:
1000+ cfm turbo(t4 ehaust/t60 compressor), ball bearing, tubular manifold, external wastegate, 2 stage fuel rails, forged engine enternals (maybe even fully built balanced/blueprinted engines). as far as stand-alones... id rather have more of a veinpressure type controller like the hks (VPC). large capacity fuel pumps and a boost a pump type kit. im thinkin alcohol or propaine injection for those of us running over 25 psi.

Personally, i'm going to be interested in taking the car to about 350 HP (crank).

Hopefully we can get there without cracking the engine, replacing the turbo, and on the stock clutch.

Specifics:

full turbo-back exhaust system.
engine management system with the ability to dial-up the HP on demand (preferably with external control options)
fuel delivery if necessary...

So you have access to larger reverse spinning compressor wheels and turbine wheels?

Sorry, we do have access to these turbo's in many configurations. I am sorry to inform you guys that it looks like we will not be developing anything for the evo as of yet. We were just feeling out the market. Thanks for your responses guys.

I'd like to see someone work with Ralliart to develop bolt-on's that would make some differences. I am pretty sure those guys would have some ideas on what needs to be done to the EVO to make it better.

Me personally, I'd like to see a better FLOWING exhaust. One that's not necessarily louder and one without those stupid looking fart cans. Please no 4 or 5 inch tips. This isn't a Honda Civic. Something sedate looking would be nice. In addition a reworked ECU to keep the boost up as well as richen it up accordingly. Lastly, but most important to me would be better balance. Let's try to get some of that 60% off the front and shift it to the rear. Lighter parts maybe....Titanium bolt kits etc... Suspension...Something a little more adjustable. Some of us live in areas where the roads are as good and need a compromise of stiffness with suppleness.

With regard to the engine...Let's let it alone. How about we LEARN to drive first before we start making so much power we plaster the thing into a wall or your nearest pole trying to drift the car. Ha!

I'd love to see a t3/t4 or pure t4 kit that allows you to mount standard rotation turbo's. Seems to me a tubular manifold w/ a WG mount, intake pipe, and exhaust would be all that's required, but I haven't wrenched on one yet so I don't know the space constraints.
