You are a POS. All you do is post a stupid smartass replies, then when somebody answers you back and sets you straight, all you do is ask.. why_would_you ask that? what made you say that?
STFU and get the @#$% off our forums. Nobody likes you or your useless responses.
Lastly before this comment is removed I would just like to point out to all that "your" "package" is completely stupid. You dont contribute a thing to it except for the stupidass name. Its buschur's parts + Al's tune (a real tuner).
Why on earth they would share their profits with you is beyond me when you dont contribute a thing.
Goodbye ppl. Im done.

ANYWAY, i also find it hard to believe that there is someone out there flashing Evo IX's for $200 other then Al, and they aren't advertising it on here. I call bluff...

People always point to the tune instead of pointing to how the car is put together. Many people have or had the same mods I did when I ran 12.000, but 99% of them were way slower, yet I had a mail-in flash. Is it because Al somehow managed to magically give me 30-40whp more than everyone with his incredible tuning? No, my car was just put together very well with no boost leaks, a great combo of mods, and good driving.

I just wanted to share the great amount of laughter that this thread has provided me... I have had nothing to do with this thread, but I will say this...
I have been in some other car forums (namely cobaltss.com and cobaltss.net) because my car before my evo was a cobalt ss supercharged, regardless, THIS forum does have a tendancy to have some individuals in it that are not very helpful at times, and that are very.... confrontational, when not needed. Yes I do understand that when people post the same questions 500 times and ask things that they need to search for it can get annoying, but then dont respond, nobody is forcing you. Flaming on everyone and being a jerk isn't needed, it is hurting the forum.
95% of the people here want to learn, offer support and assist people, and talk about there cars that they love, get input and what not. THAT'S WHAT FORUMS ARE FOR. Not for a few people to rampage around like they're god and walk on other people... I know this isn't necesarilly the place for this speal, but since this thread has beed a demonstration of my complaints, I felt the need to post it.... Am I the only one who feels this way, cuz I'm pretty sure I'm not...
People should not have to feel "afriad" to post a question or what not that is a legit question because they're going to get flamed on and get nothing beneficial and only crap... Just my 2 cents

Arbi, my advice...forget the intake...do some other basic mods first such as exhuast (as some other members have mentioned) and boost controller and then take your car to Tuning Tech or Scott Gray and get the car flashed (if that is your preferred tuning method).

Thank's for your help. This thread turned into a fcken mess.
A-typical Warlton post...
Anyone with an $89.00 ECUFlash cable can get a power increase from there EVO. Its not rocket science. I never tuned a car before in my life yet I was able to increase my power by almost 50WHP on the dyno in only 8 passes.
There is so much information and resources available now, why anyone would pay for a crappy dynoflash map (let alone a custom tune) is beyond me.

for 1 how much did you pay for your 8 passes ? 50 for an eflash i bet ya is a hell of a lot cheaper, and for those who dont know what they are doing while tuning , its safer.

As far as the "$200" flash....you get what you buy.
OT: If anyone is that interested in getting the best for the buck and a system that is robust....look into something like ECUplus or the ubiquitous SAFC. For those who say the AFC is crude....look at some of Scott Grays cars and dare to call them slow. There is a limit to the AFC but it would take a while for the street racer to reach it.
Personally, I run a drop in filter. I might consider a hard (aluminum) intake pipe. IMO Cons to that is heat soak...Pros, no bellows.

I'd suggest searching, reading endlessly, and shooting a PM to a poster if necessary. I'd also recommend having a look at a given poster's prior contributions to the forum, and gauging his POV relative to one's needs.
