So whats the point of this thread again? Im sorry were you asking a question?You shouldve just posted this in that thread where everyone was saying what their dream evo and its mods consisted of.I might not be the only one to tell you this, but this is a GhEy thread.There are plenty of threads and a ton of info on various setups,relative power,and what works with what.A paragraph later and I still cant figure out what youre trying to get out of this post.

Who doesn't have a wishlist for their evo? Kryptonitex, i would talk to some people at buschur racing and see what they would suggest with that turbo kit if that's the one you're set on. They might suggest the BR Race core FMIC for example. Also speak with a few experienced tuners and see if they've had good experience tuning with certain parts.

Defiantly add Buschur's Race FMIC to that list!!! For a your mini battery get the Buschurs one and also, wouldn't hurt to have their UICP, as I don't see a UICP listed on your list..

I suggest getting over the JDM fetish by skipping all these HKS parts:

- HKS head gasket
- HKS FMIC
- HKS coilovers

Not even sure how you came up with those unless you just thought HKS was the best and immediately looked to see what they have available for the Evo instead of looking to see what's best for the Evo. Amazingly, you chose the BR GT35R, which is the opposite of choosing HKS for those other parts, so it's a little confusing. Go with proven mods that work great on the Evo and that work great with the turbo kit you choose.

You'll need much bigger injectors than 780s. Should probably go with 1000s in conjunction with the AEM EMS.

The turbo kit will replace the poor o2 you chose (Invidia isn't very good), and it will replace your downpipe, so you'll need to get a test pipe in place of the DC one-piece. I'd also recommend selling the cat-back and getting a full 3" that makes the most possible power and use the leftover cash towards a BR double-pumper fuel kit.

These threads should be called...recommend whats in your own sig!

If you got the money get the HKS coilovers and FMIC. They are excellent pieces. Forget these USDM fanboys.

Skip the A-pillar gauge mount. I can't tell you how much visability they block. Instead try something like this
