Put on HKS Suction intake -- big problems w/ car. HELP!
It's easier to install all your modifications now so you can tune it afterwards.
At least you can still install your catback for now.
You can also tune incrementally as you add your modifications.

how does the mail flash work? i need to take out ecu and send it to someone to get it flashed? or do i actually need to get a TUNE just for the intake, lol ... or will the flash work
One thing great about the Evo is that there is so many choices.
Yes you will have to remove your ECU for mail-in flashes.
If you get the tatrix cable, you can get an email flash and upload
it via your OBDII port.
Depending on who you ask will depend on which vendor is prefered.
This would pertain to both the mail-in and email flashes.

Sometimes it's better to get a fresh perspective later on.
I have to wonder if your problem is BOV or boost hose related.

And you're absolutely sure that all the IC pipes are connected properly? The symptoms sound like a d/c'd IC pipe somewhere. Check the elbow at the throttlebody, the connection at the turbo and diverter valve area.

i never touched any of the intercooler pipes ... but i will check and see if anything came loose somehow, but i 100% doubt it.

You must have hooked something up wrong. Try throwing the stock air box back on and see if it still does it. You can drive around all you want with an intake on without a tune but you'll lose power and it would be a good idea not to get on it at all.
