just purchased my 05 evo bout 3 months ago. as of right now i cant decide what to do next. some of my options are piggyback system, front mount, meth inj. or a bigger turbo. my current mods are gsc 272i/264e cams, fuel pump, injen intake/ uicp, hallman manual boost controller, apexi cat back, dc dp w/ cat delete, pro1 header & o2 housing, aps bov, and dynoflash tune. any help would be great!

 

What do you want us to say? You listed the next mods already (FMIC, alky, turbo upgrade). What do you want to do with the car? You've already bumped your car from ~240whp to ~340whp in 3 months. Is that not enough? Have you seen how fast it is at the track? Have you raced it in any autocross or road races to see how well your current setup works? What are you going to do after your next set of mods?

 

dont have the money for all of the upgrades unfortunetly, trying to choose one. Leaning towards alky or turbo any sugestions? Turbo wise im looking for somethin like stock spool up but wont tapper as much towards redline.

 

Well, there's no comparison in cost between an alky kit ($400) and an upgraded turbo ($1500). Again, what do you want to do? Alky will allow you to run 24-25psi daily and make 370-380whp with your mods, which is awesome on the stock turbo, since it gives almost instantaneous spool, but just won't hold the boost as high in the rpms as some other turbos. You could try a Forge wastegate actuator with the 19-24psi spring to help eliminate some taper for now, too.

 

what options are there for bolt on turbos? ive looked into the 20g a bit. whats the pos/neg of the diff turbos?

 

You'll have to get acquainted with the "search" button if you want that answer. Doesn't sound like you should be getting one, but whatever. People do what they wanna do.

There have been numerous comparisons between the 20g, WR, and TME 6.5 (all stock-like turbos that bolt-on), including dyno numbers and track results. You will have tons to read when you search those turbos. One thing I can say about the Buschur 20g is that you can send in your turbo to have it converted into a 20g for $800 or so to save some money.

 

Alky
Forge or WR Acurator
