Hey all,
I have been lurking on here for quite some time and have been apart of the dsm community for much longer. I just wanted to post up and say how freaking excited I am!

I will be taking my Evo 9 from Denver to Chicago this weekend to have Boostin Performance build it up.

Right now the car is cat back only with around 90k and after doing a few compression tests and leak downs it seems as though the previous owners ran her a bit to hard so the numbers were considerably low. I was wanting to get the car ready to start a few local track days (mainly auto x and pdx events with maybe a couple drag days) and noticed the numbers. So knowing this I convinced my wife (not really convinced more like begged and pleaded) to go out and pull money and find money to rebuild it properly.

For years and years I have always wanted to do a proper build. I hate not having all of the cash in hand to do a build but, I figured this car is worth it so after researching and contacting several places I decided to go to Boostin.

Absolutely cannot wait to get it back!

I am sticking with the Evo 9 turbo for now because this list has tapped me out and my wife will not allow me to take out any more money or loans LOL! But it should be a very fun, reliable, and very good pulling car for a long time. And when the day comes to bolt up a bigger turbo the car will hold it and be even more fun!

So far Boostin has been the nicest people and I cannot wait to see what they do with my little 9!

Nice!

 

Nice. Keep us posted !

 

A little before picture. Looks wont change much outside. Its the internals that matter

 

Getting prepared for the drive





Good morning Nebraska. Been driving since 4 am but cannot complain about this view!

 

It was nice chatting with you yesterday. We'll keep you updated as much as possible. Thanks for the kind words, btw!

 

Great talking with you as well man! Very kind even in person.
Can't wait!

 

What's the turn around time on a build like this?

 

sweet stuff!

 

I hope its everything you imagined it would be. Always hear good things about boostin

 

It is going to be a whole new car when you get it back!
What rods are going in it?
You will have a solid platform for adding a bigger turbo later on

 

Thanks all! Can't wait to drive it again

The rods they are using are the Manley turbo tuff 156mm I beam rods.

 

tried and true

 

Are you going to test the acd pump for pressure and take care of the rear lsd?

 

I didn't think much about the acd pump since I was not having any issues with it prior to the build. And are you talking about re arranging the rear clutch plates? If so yes I will address that once I get the car back.

Also not touching the transfer case for now. I will probably do it next season.
