Currently I've got a TBE and MBC. I've got Kelford 272, springs/retainers sitting, EPM O2 dump in the garage. Taking it next week to get BR ported/coated exhaust mani, BR ported intake mani, and BR 65 mm TB. Ordering the BR Race intercooler and LICP this month, and hopefully, hopefully FR Red. We've only got 90 octane up here so not sure what HP I'll be putting down, I hope to at least get into the mid-high 11's.

Update for me.
Fix:
- Get JDM rear resprayed because someone scraped it pretty badly while I was parked
- Get new hood because of dent, also while parked
Mods:
- ETS o2 dump
- Amsoil cone filter
- ETS intercooler piping (+ maybe core)
- Swift Spec-R springs
- Reflash
The only problem with mods is I'm not entirely sure my car is where it's supposed to be power-wise. I don't want to dump more money into it until I know everything is okay as it is.

Current mods in sig!
I am saving JMF FMIC, fuel injectors, and exhaust manifold( port and polish stock, or JMF). But first I need new tires. That will put me close to maximg out the stock turbo. After all that I will be saving for JDM rear bumper, coilovers or springs, wheels, carbon fiber hood.

Getting the thing to run right! LOL! I just bought my 05 Evo at an auction and it is loaded with aftermarket parts and the car runs awful. I now understand that unless you buy these things knowing the history and the previous owner these are difficult to purchase.
Is this common for these cars?

Can't really decide yet.......was thinking of going with Burscher Racing stage one but can't have my car down while I send my ecu to get reflashed. It's my daily driver. Another option I was thinking about is Cobb Tuning or Megan Racing TBE and Cobb AccessPORT.

I installed a new Cobb dp, Cobb tp, Apexi intake, and Apexi induciton box a few weeks ago.
I have my AEM wideband and AEM tru-boost to install next.
After those are done, I will have my car tuned and start saving up for something else. Probably a 02 housing, lower ic pipe, and then go for some cams.

I picked up a new ported 02 from a lacal for cheap and possibly buying a pair of new S1's from another local tomorrow. Just need the licp, time, and some money to get some of the other stuff installed that I won't attempt or can't do myself.
