Talking Installed some part on a friends Evo

Yesterday i installed a 10.5 hotside and a megan manifold on an 04 Evo.. Car pulls so hard to redline its crazy!! The turbo spool on this car is amazing. I drove it b4 the installs and after and the difference is huge!!!!!!!! Who ever says theres no gains from a 10.5 hotside, is bs. Its worth it, pulls harder than my car but this car has 272 cams.The only problem i noticed was that the boost dropped too quickly, theres a bolt missing from the top of the mani that was lost so im assuming its leaking from there bc the gakset is lifted in the corner. Just wanted to post some info for you guys.

The car feels crazy fast!!!!!! specially in 4th gear since it holds boost a bit longer than 1 thru 3rd gear, I can't imagine this car holding boost and a fine tune ....Hey Miguel I'm going to install the final bolt missing to see if fixes boost problem...

Thanks for the install I owe you!!!!
