Okay I'm in the market for a couple of things here is my list couple I have some opinions:

Boost Control: Perrin or Hallman Pro Kit

Boost Gauge: VDO Boost Gauge or Autometer Boost Gauge

Fuel Pump: Walboro Pump Kit

BOV: JDM MR BOV

WHAT DO YOU FOLKS THINK?

 

uuummm, you dont need a pump...

 

Looks good with the exception of the gauges. I haven't been very happy with Autometer in the past (they weren't very accurate as compared to other gauges for me). Check out an electric gauge by Defi/Blitz/Apexi/Greddy.

 

Boost Control: Perrin or Hallman Pro Kit

Boost Gauge: VDO Boost Gauge or Autometer Boost Gauge - NEITHER

Fuel Pump: Walboro Pump Kit - Yes, walbro, but you don't need this yet

BOV: JDM MR BOV - Hell yes!

I will need the pump before the dyno flash so it does not hurt to install it now, correct? At least that is what I have been told...

 

No, you don't need it for the flash. You need it when you have all the bolt-ons and cams. On the other hand, it does not hurt as long as it gets accounted for in the tune (flash).

 

correct

i have heard some people say, with just a pump install, that it has help their top end. they felt a difference.

 

I don't know what people have against VDO gauges. They are German and are OEM in a lot of cases. Autometer blows ***, I don't care if it is the super fancy electric ones or the mechanical. They all are cheap and very poor quality. Also paying more then $50 for a guage is dumb. Do you really think you need the super duper accurate mil spec guage? OOO you can see the .25 psi change. Who cares.

I love the VDO since they look very similiar to stock guages. I have the standard -30-0-25, Vision series I think.

I would go with the Hallman controller or make your own from McMaster Carr parts.

 

my last vdo boost gauge hummed like a **** everytime i was on the boost
you can also buy vdo for cheap , which means made cheaply

 

eh... you should get the fuel pump.

don't listen to wharton. it's better to have the fuel pump as an insurance before you start adding your bolt ons.

Evo fuel pump isn't as reliable as you think.

Mitsu actually take into an account for the boost tapering and put that fuel pump in, and not accounting for mbc, flash, cams, intake, tbe, fmic, or other things that adds more air, and fuel and holds boost to the redline.

 

boost controller, i've had problems with my manual and so has my friend. so its all about the electric now.

boost gauge. i got greddy gauges and couldn't be happier, my friend has autometer in his evo and he loves them, so, personal preference.

 

i got autometer in my car. ultra lite, only autometer worth a damn. But still after 21psi, it seems a bit off by a psi or so.

but still, the lighting sucks on it. gonna get some defi soon.

hallman MBC, if you get one, get the PRO RX EVO that has the ****-pit control. It'll make your life so much easier than the engine mounted switch.

 

love my hallman mbc

 

i think u should get the fuel pump too.. its not expensive. a $100 insurance i think thats resonable..
