What todo? (06 Evo MR)

Short story on car 'v had a 06 Evo MR (Dark Charcoal Color) for 2 years (32k Miles) sitting in storage from a car lot me and my father used to own..

when i got it, was a repo... turbo, intake, intercooler wasn't there and transfer case was trashed...

Here's where its at (+ is parts I added - was parts that it came with)

- Short Shifter
- Megan Racing 3 or 4" Full Exhaust w/ resonator
- Has a Yellow Clutch...that I can see not sure on brand
+ GODSPEED Intercooler Kit
+ ETS Intake
+ Stock Turbo (Ported)
+ Unknown Name O2 Dump Housing...
+ Carbon Fiber Stock Spoiler
+ Blacked out side markers
+ Debadged
+ Blacked out 17" Stock Wheels w/ New Tires
+ Repainted Brembo Calipers
+ Paintless dent repair (slight hail) and I buffed it

Here's what im planning on atm to finish it up
OEM 35k Mile Transfer Case
Megan Racing O2 Housing (dont want loudness of dump)
Tune..


what does a car with these mods usually do? I might entertain a header if its sub $200 and the walbro 255 + 880's for $500 if they add a good amount more

Im going to be ordering parts over the next month so would like to see what i should do I would like it to be a low 11 second street car

Thanks!


heres pics from a year ago before i started cleaning it up and yes the windshield says ***JDM.. was going to leave that on lol

Yellow clutch sounds like it might be an ACT. I'd worry about gettign the car running, and doing all the fluid changes and whatnot before you go you go buying show-n-shine parts...LOL. If you need an ACD transfer case, shoot me a pm.

Stock turbo car on pump gas should do low 12's, high 11's with a good driver.

Fuel pump + injectors don't add any power, they're supporting mods for a bigger turbo, or other mods that increase airflow, which in turn require more fuel.

so low 12's is a stock tuned car? no bolt ons?... and would a header still be worth it? that would be the whole exhaust system replaced

I bet some kid owned this. Probably street raced it and beat the ever loving **** out of it and never made payments. Transfer case is trash, trans is probably trash too. Probably sold off or kept the most valuable parts before the repo man showed up and took it.

Or I could be completely wrong

Stock car does low 13's/high 12's. Bolt-ons w/ pump gas on stock snail is low 12's/high 11's.

A remote tune from one of the reputable tuners on here, like tscompusa, Boosted Tuning, Mellon, etc is your best bet.

The exhaust manifold (what you're calling the header) isn't all that necessary on a stock turbo car. You could get it ported for better flow, but beyond that you likely won't see many gains.

yellow clutch is usually ACT.
Keep stock exhaust manifold. If anything, get it ported.
