wierd smell...help please
so ive owned my evo for just over a month now and when a do few pulls i get this weird smell in the cabin. it doesnt smell like a clutch or tires. only happens when im boosting it seems like...any ideas??? and only mods are intake, 3in down pipe and 3in catback
Does this smell, in a way, smell like coolant/oil? I had the same exact issue you had, i assumed it was headgasket(no) then blowby(no) make losing coolant(no) turned out after cleaning my engine bay with simple green smell was gone. Guess i had some oil that was never cleaned up when i was workingin there. Start small.

alright ill try going through the motor with some cleaner and clean what i can reach and see if that helps but it only happens when i put my foot in it, doesnt smell when i drive normal
hence my suggestion, what does it smell like though? does it smell like exhaust gasses, gas?, burning of something?

This is likely your issue. Check your exhaust manifold studs, turbo bolts and o2 housing bolts.
Please explain how a video will help identify a smell.
