My new parts list

Alright so I am getting all of these parts together because I finally decided to start modding my evo 8.

What I have on the car already : Buschur K&N filter, 3" TBE (ebay ), cobb Accessport (so I have to wait until the protune software comes out to get this all on)

What I am getting:
-Meghan o2 Housing (already bought)
-Evo8 turbo with 10.5 hotside (already bought)
-GSC 264/272 cams (already bought)
-forge WGA
-forge DV
-ETS Intercooler Hardpipe kit
-Walbro 342
-ported ex manifold


Is there anything i am missing from a supporting mod standpoint? Any suggestions on what I plan to buy or what might be better? I think this is fairly comprehensive but I always want more opinions. I'm trying for around 350 AWHP after a tune, although if I fall short I will jsut be glad I have all the supporting mods I need for a bigger turbo down the road.... Thanks for looking.

So far it all looks good.

My only question is why are you going with canned tunes.

You would benefit from some custom tuning.

The only canned tune I am going to use is the stage 2 map I have on there now. When I put all of this on the car I am getting it custom tuned. That's why I have to wait until the pro-tuner software is released shortly

You are missing dp, test pipe/HFC/ and injectors are a must if you are upgrade your cams

I already have the full 3" TBE (DP and test pipe included). I have a boost gauge and the boost will be controlled through my ECU with the tune. Do I really need to get injectors for adding cams and a hotside? I thought the stock 560's were good for any stock turbo application.

I'm already planning to get one, I was just unsure as to which version I should get. They have them for Evo 8 turbos and also for evo 9 turbos...I finally decided for the 8 versions seeing as it made more sense.

All the parts on that list will be purchased tomorrow very happy
