It also depends on your plans for the car and your budget. If you have the money on hand, wouldn't take long to reach your goals. However, for someone just planning on doing a few minor mods, it can take a couple weeks and be satisfied. But like my friends say, boost is very addictive and once you start, you can't stop.

i believe that everyone will always mod their cars. even after a few years or so you'll get tired to various setups and appearance and change that as well. we usally don't get to a "stop modding" level. it's more of like a "damn i've spent way too much" or "honey we need to save up for a house" then ur modding tapers for a bit before you resume the modding again!

I bought my evo with a ton of mods (don't recommend). It had TurboXS everything and HKS cams. I am still in the process of de-modding it to where I'm happy with it. I like a few mods, but not any that make my car sound like a viper with no exhaust.

My car was "done" last spring, aka about $9k in mods ago. I still have more planned now that time goes on.

Like 95% of everyone has said, it is a never ending story. And if it isnt the EVO it is something else. I also have a 91 MINI that has almost 120WHP. (which is almost double what it came with stock!) It really is an addiction that is an uncureable disease! Even my wife and son ask me what is going to be next!

I drew my line in the sand before I bought my car. I told myself nothing over 26psi. I love the car! It's fun, fast and turns heads. Could I use more? Sure, but at this point I'd be spending thousands more, losing life out of my engine, getting random rattles... it just gets unreasonable. I'll stick with where i'm at ...

But with that being said it looks like i'm selling my car and may be getting an Evo X shortly.
