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!

Currently:
06 Evo MR 6spd with a catback

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!

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

dsmchiz

Thanks all! Can't wait to drive it again

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

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

dsmchiz

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.
