We decided since we were bored today we would play with my bone stock 05' RS.. I grabbed all the used parts from around the shop.. We worked on the car from this afternoon to til night and put it on the dyno this evening.. To our surprise with this super budget setup we made a consistent 411-413whp with back to back runs.. I havent personally played around with stock turbos much since my 03' evo was on a 67p trim from day 1.. The car feels real good i must say.. here are the mods..
Megan manifold and 02 housing
Buschur Turbo Back
Hks 280 cams
stock evo IX Turbo
Injen Intercooler piping
Fuel Pump
ebay FMIC
DSM 1g BOV
Hallman MBC
Tuned by Cwill on Race Gas..
Here is the dyno sheet.. Peak Boost was 27lbs and where it made peak power was 24psi..
I figured the mods all used could be had for around 2k.. Im not sure if these are good numbers since i havent played with stock turbo cars much.. What do you guys think?? Thanks for the feedback!!

HKS 272
Very happy with the EVO with so little money invested.
Quick run down of the car.
-'04 SSL EVO IIIV Stock trubo and hot side
-HKS 272's
-ETS IC and piping with ETS intake pipe
-PTE 780's
-255hp
-E85 fuel
-spike 26psi hold 24psi to redline.
-Flash tuning done buy me
-no spare
-1/2 tank of fuel
-full interior
-mini bat
Mods since last time at the track. New SBC clutch and a cold air intake. The cold air intake really makes the car more consistant and runs 2psi more to redline. I took out my IC sprayer bottle and but the whole air meter ware the tank used to be.
Cant imagine there is more in the car but I am going to do the 10.5hot side and a O2 housing and see what she does.
On my last pass I took the sub out and took the wing off and I did go just a bit faster but my launch was better so I can say at my current time the wing does not take much MPH off.

Hey bro to be totally honest I went from an HKS 272 to a GSC S2 on a stock 9 turbo and on my pump gas tune my car feels just like my methanol tune acroos the powerband. I fee no loss in low end so im sure that it will wake your 58 trim up. Also note I do plan to upgrade my turbo soon too which is another reason I opted for S2's so GSC S2 gets my vote

currently I am running and getting good results with the HTA 35R + HKS 280 cams, however, I'm going to upgrade to the Buschur BF 272's soon
Brad@mellontuning and I also like his GSC S2's on his stock turbo EVO 8

i suggest s2's or even bf 272's...granted i havent tried either of those cams yet, but i do have cosi m2's & they are a little less agrressive than s2 or bf272's & the cosi m2's are decent in the street & the boost hits hard like the hks cams but pull great till you feel the need to shift.
The power numbers are calculated via aem log data. The numbers are fairly accurate, as when i recently was dyno'd, my aem nwhp numbers were +/- 1 whp from teh dj dyno used.
