It really depends on what you have on your car and the condition of your car. But I would say 15whp-20whp easy.

Do you guys think I need to add a cone filter and fuel pump for my target power goals? Also do I need a manual boost controller or can boost be controlled by the ECU tune?Thanks

for $90 the fuel pump is great insurance against running lean; as i began adding more fuel-it just wasn't there
it was the second mod i made

maybe not the best bang-for-the-buck, i'd do cam gears way before cams, if at all in your power/price goals
Have you considered a cheaper E-Bay exhaust?

before you start upgrading first get used to the power and handling of the evo. then read around the forums.

here is a good starting point.

but very good point...

I'm always trying to get owners to play/learn the capabilities of their cars BEFORE they mod..
I've spent thousands and if i could do it all over again
I would have very few mods on my car...
compared to the days and days of track time or what ever turns you on
for owning it in the first place
