2. exhaust
3. BOV
4. headers
5. camshafts
6. any other suggestions you may have

please help me. i'm a noob at tuning evo's and want the best bang for my buck!

Much Thanks,
Race Evolved

1. Most are the same but i would go with HKS if this is what you want.
2. Just make sure you get something that is good quality and a true 3"
3. Personally i use HKS and Greddy on my cars
4. Wait till you do a turbo kit
5. HKS
6. Get rid of that Typhoon intake and get an HKS, AMS, Buschur etc.

I have a DC Sports catback and RSR cat eliminator downpipe for sale. PM me if interested.

Good luck.

You should start by returning that Typhoon intake.
It is known to be bad for Evo's. SEARCH and you'll find out.

www.buschurracing.com products are usually the BB4 the buck.
Cams every body seems to be happy with HKS or GSC.
Blow off valve. JDM mr, forge , you won't go wrong with them.

Mostly just the quality and how well it is put together. Price also depends on if you get a universal one or one that is car specific.

1. grounding kit-NO
2. exhaust-YES. Full 3" TBE w/ cat delete.
3. BOV-Get the JDM MR valve unless you go 26lbs+, then go get something better
4. headers-like^^said, not unless you go big turbo
5. camshafts-if you can live with lope, HKS 272/272. If you rebuild heads, JUN's
6. any other suggestions you may have-XEDE or flash with dyno tune

please help me. i'm a noob at tuning evo's and want the best bang for my buck!

Much Thanks,

Look seriously at the Buschur and Vishnu staged setups. Both are proven and reliable.
