just get a catback to finish off your exhaust system. this will actually yield postive noticeable results.

an intercooler is simply an anti-knock component and wont yield any higher horsepower gains than 3-5hp IF that. you might even notice a descrease in engine response. its really only necessary if you plan to get a bigger turbo(ie: gt3076 or 35r etc. etc.)

i have a DC sports downpipe w/ test pipe and an HKS catback and i also cut the resonator out and put a 3" staright pipe. sounds alot better IMO

Check Ebay. Or even a megan racing cat-back... both cheap compared to most. As long as it doenst have alot of bends and its 3", they all work pretty much the same. Check-out buschur exhausts, they sound good without sounding too ricey.

Do a turbo back now... don't mod it then have to do it again... Straight pipe with a magnaflow exhaust and throw a nice tip on it...

A complete exhaust system will net you more power in the long run. We can ship to Mexico for a very good price. We build our own 3.0" to 4.0" exhaust system for the evolution or if your interested in another brand let me know!

I would definitely upgrade the intercooler in the future though!

Thanks!

Michael

I would say do the intercooler , The AMS street is a great choice , your turbo will spool up much faster and you wont get a heat soaked intercooler on hot days . i live in las vegas so temps kill turbo performance out here
