looking for help
hey everyone my name is steve im a newbie, yay haha hey ive got a lancer with a full front cut evo 6 engine, gear box , shafts the lot.
iv done all the basic things like
* microtech ltx-10 computer
* intercooler
* walbro 500hp fuel pump
* forged pistons but not rods
it got a very basic tune on 11psi for 205hp (he said i needed to learn how it handeld fair enough)
but i didnt buy this engine for small mods and ive talked to my mechanic and he said the next step would be to get
*sard 800-1000cc fuel injectors
* fuel regulator
* surge tank
he believes if i do this ill be able to then run 20psi
but i want to know what you guys think since this is a forum for evos and the mechnic does all performace imports i think u guys would know more. so my question is is this the best way to go? is there anything i should do first? should i strengthen anything
wat do i do?. please help guys

First Mods:
The following is a good mod-path to follow. Where "tune" is in bold, indicates the times which you should get your car tuned for better performance and safety. The mods are spread out to allow more bang for your tuning-dollar, rather than getting a tune after every part.
1.)TurboBack Exhaust System (3'' all the way through)
2.)Drop-in Air Filter (or air intake system) steel pipes as well
3.)Boost Gauge (if you dont already have one)
4.)Wideband O2 i dont have
5.)Manual Boost Controller
6.)Tune
---Anyone else care to add more to the list???

The tuner didnt set it for 11psi cuz thats all the motor would handle, he set it there so the driver could get a feel for the increase in power. However, if the motor came with the stock injectors, it should be able to run stock boost (not sure if diff model evos came with diff boost levels.) Your wideband will let you know when you are running out of fuel. Ive never heard of anyone running a surge tank at 300hp ish level.
I did a search for you and another evom member by the name of racetek1 posted that an TME (tommi makinen edition) boosts @ 1.29 bar or 19 PSI and an EVO 6 boosts @ 1.08 bar or 16 PSI
