Well instead of 45 lets say cruising it 4th right at 3000 rpm and then nailing it.....

 

I don't know, how is $45 shipped.
I am still waiting on the RMR to get here but it should be here within the next week, if you can wait. I have Fedex at work so I will ship it like 2nd day once I get the other one.

 

$45 sounds good, how old was it anyway? What comes with it too?

 

I've had it about a month but I don't drive much. 1500 miles and I've had the car for about 2 months. Only thing it you get when you buy it is the filter. Bolts right up to the MAF.

 

Cool, since youre still waiting for your RMR, I'll wait then. Still shopping around. Thanks bro.

 

Your right there at the start of the optimum boost level, I don't get how it doesn't get up and go. I was on the highway in 5th at like sixty and the thing jumps to 70 like it's nothing. I know my rpm was lower than that. Do you have a boost gauge on your car?

 

I'll PM you when I am ready to sell to see if you want it.

 

no but im gonna install my blitz dc2 turbo timer which has a digital boost gauge....it reads in hkpa (wtf is hkpa....isnt it just kpa?)...i'll be able to convert using my chemistry skills learned last year lol

 

aight

 

hehe... Want to see me get flamed by someone...
"Maybe you DV is leaking boost and delaying the onset of real boost pressure"

Seroiusly, Do you have any other mods on your car besides the filter?

 

maaaaaaain....no other mods...just the ****in filter.....maybe i should race my friend with the stock evo from a roll and see what happens.....any suggestions on what gear to do it from?

 

Doesn't matter. IF you match speeds in the same gear and go from there you should get some indication. Problem is the inconsistency in the Evo itself for performance from one car to another.

 

well me and my friend's evos were equal when mine was "stock"...so i dont think that inconsistency should matter

 

People need to keep in mind that tuners are not looking at one part they are looking at combinations.

Take the air filter example. If you talk with Buchur they will probably tell that the filter does not do much on it's own but when you combine it with the 3" turbo back, boost controller, and S-AFC it works within the system.

 

yes...if you free up one side of the engine (ie. intake) then you have to free up the other side (exhaust) also to get the full effect. or else gains will be either non-existant or very minimal. in fact...you might actually loose power if you just have an intake without an exhaust...i remember hearing that happen to some people.
