Very true, I can't refrain from boosting... A lot....

Well you never know if you don't ask... And being that these ARE Evo's that we are talking about I am sure for every person that tells him "120... miles that is right about what I get... it's normal for an Evo" Two will come back and tell him check his tune, maps, plugs, boost leaks etc. cause there is something wrong with his car. Jus sayin.

Do you know if the previous owner was running e85? If that is the case then I would retune immediately without even going into boost at all.

I saw your thread about your car purchase and the mods and you need a tune desperately.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-question.html

Based on the mods I see in the photo you're possibly running e85, go have it checked out before you do any damage to your car driving it in that state without having it tuned and tested.

My thoughts exactly... and with that amount of mods, the MPG doesnt seem too far off, especially with city driving and if its supposed to run E85

I wouldnt dyno it in this current state without knowing if it takes E85 or not...

I also doubt the teachers are "tuners" and will be able to look at that car and go "OH it has this this and this, must be E85 and needs this and this to make it run normal"

ESPECIALLY if you are going to the West Chester UTI. LOL!
