Turn down your boost and get a tune.

Of course a base flash would fix your problem.

I would say do the supporting mods first before turning up the boost. A Walbro 255 is cheap insurance IMO. At less than a $100 and about two hours to install it is just a good idea.

2 hours? Are you stopping every 5 minutes to bake a cake? Takes half an hour tops.

Check your spark plugs... even without a tune you shouldn't be hitting fuel cut at such a low boost pressure.

Two hours Josh? It took me 40 minutes. But I agree with you it is extremely cheaper than running lean.

I agree with this! Especially since it is an Evo VIII. They have fairly weak stock FPs. It should take no time if you know what you're doing. Check HOW TO section.

Well atleast you'll admit you're new to the whole Evo game. Welcome to the club.
