Are you running a boost controller? You should be able to hold boost a little better than that with aftermarket boost control. Or is that taper what your tuner recommended to keep the turbo in its efficiency range?

Anyways, with all that low-end power and torque, that car must be a blast to drive around in!! I wanna do this.........but I can't afford it. And right now, I have to follow Mitsu's rules to preserve my warranty. Definitely don't want to pay a payment AND repairs. Oh well, some day, when it's all paid off....

I am running a manual boost controller. The curve shows how the stock turbo can barley keep up when running over 20PSI, the extra displacement is asking even more out of it.

It is a blast to drive, its my DD. Its low end power is getting me in trouble around town, it feels so good to pull through 2nd and 3rd gear. Problem is I'm doing well past 40mph by then Sat night I had the car loaded up with 4 bigger guys and its torque made hauling our heavy asses around no problem.

i kno that this is a little late, but after reading this, i have to give you props. thanks for taking the time to post all of this. excellent read, and even better post. it must be great to drive your evo now that you built it. makes you feel different/better knowing you built the engine. nice job!
