May need a FMIC, and depending on how much boost you plan on running you might want to get a better bov. I'm not sure what the type s is rated at. Are you completely stuck on the SBR turbo kit? I have AMS 35r and i love it. Ontop of all that you need a good tune. As far as your MAF if you plan on keeping the stock ECU then you will just reuse it and put it where it belongs. If you're getting a standalone, then select that option on the order and they will take care of it and give you an intake suited for the Standalone.

Don't do it !!!!!

Trust me, Slowboy Racing and EVOs' don't mix AT ALL !!!

For your sake.....you'ld have to be crazy, too many guys have been dissapointed with the SlowBoy Kit its a joke.......

Save the extra money and buy a proven setup, SBR Kits are proven to be a big disspointment if thats what you want.

If there Kits were the best on the market you could happily deal with the **** customer service you get, but the fact that the results are very very poor makes the service stink even more...........(speaking from experience)

By the time you get all the parts, or fixed up the parts which don't line up etc......you could have saved up the extra to go with a Kit from AMS/Buschur etc.

I haven't heard anything good whatsoever about SBR, and a gt30 is IMO is the wrong decision but atleast take everyone's advice and do not go with the SBR turbo kit.

buschur has sick deals on there turbo kits right now, the gt35 is only 2995, shearerfab is also have a sick group buy, you can get yourself a really nice 50 trim for 3700 i believe or a gt35 which is what I am planning on buying sooner or later for $3900.

DONT DO IT!!! NOTHING FITS

I just finished installing my SBR 3076 and id never do it again. I had fitment issues everywhere. I wanted a recirc pipe but that wasnt even close to fiitting so i had to go with a dump tube. FMIC bolt hole dont line up. My IC piping was off. It tooke forever to get the kit (over 2 months) when they said it was in stock.

Oh and did i mention the "fantastic" welding jobs that left me with boost leaks

Please tell me you are kidding? I'm NO fan of SBR at all but you are off your rocker if you think Buschur is ghetto. Full-Race makes great products but in my eye's nothing holds a candle to Buschur or AMS. Look who is the fastest, has the best customer service, has the most proven products, takes the time engineering their products, has people giving them blank checks for builds because they are very trusted, etc... I could go on all day.
Being an Evo owner and having SO many different parts from different companies on my car and making many $$$$ mistakes doing so, my choice would only be Buschur or AMS. Buschur just turned a 9 sec. on their 35R set-up. Is that too ghetto for you?
Back to the thread, go with Buschur.
