Hi Warrtalon! We are Autoplus from the Philippines and the premier tuning shop in this little country. We had been tuning Evos since 1996 since the Evo IV had been incepted to pur showrooms and just to give u a little bit of our history and experiences with Evos, the choice of parts of Evasive are the same choice of parts we use too, and they all perfectly work well on evos, especially on the CP9A models. The GT3037 was used on some of our Evo 5 customers and they got an average of 550awhp. Not bad?! Our Tanto Racing Evo 5 used HKS all the way up to the F-Con Pro and hit a 10.76@134mph! Now I do not really know if the HKS 3037 is not well liked in this community but if it aint, i am respecting everyones opinion, but based on our experience, they are perfect. it depends really on what the owner wants. To be honest, the only US Turbokit for Evos we recommend to our customers are the AMS turbokits, in fact, we are now thinking if we should sponsor a trip for Martin Musial to come here.
And just for your added information, I had seen Nissan Skylines run 9seconds lower on HKS twin GT3037 turbokits. Our GTR made a whopping 857whp on only 2 bar and we are going for another dynorun in 2006. the turbos with use are twin HKS 3240s.
Im not bashing you here, but I am just providing you additional information. If you want to check out our cars, go to https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=165956

There would be FAR MORE to gain by putting all HKS parts on a IX with stock turbo and stock ECU than going with a turbo that isn't well-liked in the Evo community and a tuning device that no one knows how to use. If the goal is just to prove something to yourself, SPE, or HKS, then I understand. If the point is to ultimately show the Evo community how well HKS products work and make money, then I think it's a big waste of time and someone is missing the boat, since most owners won't be touching the turbo or the ECU.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what happens, since it will be a different combo that no one else will probably be using.

I'm curious to know how the V-Pro is going to be wired up considering there's no harness available from HKS yet... no one seems to have any idea on how to do that (there's even a current thread about harness pin-outs for the IX)... also, how will the V-Pro deal with Mivec? The latest V-Pro release is 3.2, for which there's no mention of dealing with Mitsu's variable cam system. From what I do remember reading in the HKS master catalog, there is something available from HKS for the RB's cam system but not even a peep about VTEC, let alone MIVEC. Some thoughts from Evasive would be appreciated.
