I can't figure out what else is on that thing, I was concerned about the exhaust, how he said it was running rich. Dunno if that was an easy fix, and also he did sound like a tard, because I definitely was under the assumption that your really not spose to crank up the boost on stock internals without a tune and at least the where with all too what you are doing. Also he said it was a stock turbo? With black intercooler piping, idk may just be an idiot and I might have to move on to a different MR. thanks guys, any more info you need?
keep looking...there are evo's out there that are near mint, i would know.

the seller didn't even cold start the car for you or go over the entire car. but the black soot from the exhaust isn't a big deal. those winter donuts would keep me away.

Lol At the guy showing how dirty the exhaust tip is. Every Evo is like that so I wouldn't worry about that. The thing about having a car like this down here in the south, is that no one that knows how to work on them. There aren't many good tuner shops close by. That being said, I wouldn't buy an Evo from someone down here that cant even explain what mods are on the car. That means the maintenance probably wasn't kept really good.
