New Mods, Street Racing & Opening Day @ the Track.
I just got my Trust Exhaust on, sounds soo good. Just need to break it in a little more. Its from an evo 7, it fits perfest i will have pics up later. Also got Greddy Turbo timer and boost guage, but i have not put them in. I also put on my Apexi Intake, sounds awesome and really opens up the air flow. and last but not least. i got my Turbo XS blow off valve. I have 6 washers in it right now and i have it dumping into the atmosphere, the car runs great and the BOV is right under the hood opening and you can hear it so loud. looks really good to.. i didnt need any custom hoses or anything. I will be at the track opening day Wednesday April 2nd at New England Dragway, should be low 13's or 12's http://www.newenglanddragway.com
also plan on going to some street races saturday night in mass. lots of wrx's should be on tap to get beat.

I just installed a Greddy Type S on a fellow member's evo this last friday night. You need to buy the 95-99 eclipse type s kit. It includes the flange that makes it installable on the stock upper intercooler pipe. If you already have a type S without the flange, some guy is selling them on eBay for 15 bucks each. Do a seatch for greddy type s adapter. The valve isnt as lound as the one in my eclipse mainly because there is an airbox and the dump tube is farther down the turbo inlet pipe. Once you get an aftermarket intake, the valve should be louder. You can still hear it though.

I had the turbo xs bov on my evo... I also has six washers in it. The car ran like ****... It would always stall at low rpm. It was running very rich, i used a half tank of gas driving 6miles. Turbo xs will even tell you that it must vent back into the intake...
a main thing that helps the turbo stay spooled is the air released by the BOV...if your just venting it off into the air your not only making it run rich...but also slowing down the RPM's of the turbo since there is no air anymore to keep it spinning. sure it makes a nice sound..but kills performance.
