By request of the shop, since so many locals ask for one and since the packages were really designed for Evos in the DC area. The TT can be removed while retaining the package pricing minus the cost of the TT+harness.

I would get a turbo back exhaust and MBC refer Hallman and Dynoflash. I can also say the AMS LICP is a great buy as well.UICP I have yet to see any big gains, I took my stock and did a little wheel polish and it shines up just like chrome. Best of luck with spending $ on your Evo and get ready once you spend 1$ you dont stop it seems like with me anyway.

No, I told Greg@GSC to wait until I got to CO, since we leave tomorrow. I won't be installing them until Al comes to Denver on March 4th/5th...

Thanks for the help so far guys!

I have decided to get TBE, prolly going to stick to RnR's. I have read alot of good things about it and seems to offer a pretty good gain. Also going to get a MBC, not sure what kind/brand. What brands offer easy use and instalation?

Already have bought 3 gauges, now got to get the pod and get them hooked up

On a reflash how does this work? Do I remove my ECU and send it in? Whats the turn around time one these and can the dealer know it has been reflashed?

Did you miss my response with the link I provided? It maps out each mod with each brand name while providing the most gains for the least money without sacrificing quality.

With a mail-in flash, yes, you take your ECU out and Fedex it overnight to Dynoflash who then overnights it back to you after flashing it. Dealers technically can detect it on 05/06s, but only if they know how to look for it. I haven't seen a reported case yet where a dealer detected one electronically and subsequently denied warranty coverage. It doesn't matter anyway if you get those other mods, because those are directly visible and will cause warranty problems anyway.

OK man save that money and get a AEM you will not be disapointed have a tuner get you a soild tune then start to mod you evo. People are going to disagree with this but when you can get over 40-70 whp and you will never have to worry about cel and all that bull crap. If i where to do it all over again i would get this with every it has to offer wideband all the wires to make it run at full power. Why be happy running 12's with a few mods when just with this and alot of behind the wheel time you can run 11's pretty much stock with very lil mods ive seen it done first hand and the other 12 people that where there that day that could back it up. If i give any advice to any newbe this would be it.

If I head up there I will shoot ya a PM.

Right now I don't want to get to deep into things Just your small bolt on extra HP is all im going for right now. I would like to see 300/300 without having to tune it I don't know if thats a crazy amount to go for or not. I drive my car everyday and it still needs to be feasable not just a drag car. I dont wanna get alot of crazy mods cause then when **** goes bad it sucks.

What all have you done to your car?

That is the three things I am going to get. Is it that hard to remove my ECU?
