I meant the road tune was paid for by the previous owner

 

I would recommend that you have someone who is experienced with the Evo check it over, do a boost leak test and then get a good tune. Yes, installing the tubular manifold and larger FMIC can cause what feels like lag until you get a good tune. You did the LICP also correct?

e-85 tune ftw

 

ya the whole injen set lower and upper with the intake

 

This, I would take it to a reliable tuner ASAP.

 

get it tuned, and adjust your shifting to accommodate the power band. i used to think the EVO had terrible turbo lag because it was my first turbo car and i was used to NA cars that made power at 1000 rpm. didn't take long to realize I needed to keep it above 2500 rpm for it to feel normal.

 

From what I understand the tune you're running is for the old set up before you had these mods installed? If that's the case, I would get to a tuner immediately or get some logging done and do an email tune. Also, what PSI and boost controller are you running? You could have the boost controller set too low and the wastegate may just be getting pushed open at higher RPM. Making it feel like it's taking forever to spool.

 

I've never been in a car with a green but I can't imagine it spools that late... 35r's spool @ 5k, not Fp Green's.

Get your car to a reputable tuner in your area and get it looked over, its far from where it should be.

 

running no tune is not a good idea...I did that...I had to buy another engine for my mustang.

Deff get a tune ASAP.. Your motor is prob struggling.. Tune is prob the best thing ever for your car.. good luck.

 

Yeah when I bought mine the guy converted it back to stock with no tune. It was running so rich it would buck at WOT.

 

why is it that everyone thinks that if someone self tunes their car that its a crappy tune? ive seen some crappy tunes from reputable tuners from this board and wouldnt trust any of them to touch any of my maps again.

it does sound like you need a better tune though since you said it doesnt feel right

 

so tune asap, got it =] thanks for your suggestions and ill have the results up on forums as soon as i get it on a dyno

 

I am going to suggest a boost leak test before going to the dyno, this could be part of the problem...does boost drop off quickly after it reaches full boost? I just had this problem.

 

the car doesnt drop boost at all, its just that the turbo hits full boost a lot later than what i was expecting and what the reviews say about the fp greens....
but just for safety reasons ill run a boost leak test when i go to get the tune.
