Not me I just found out the other day my autometer boost gauge doesn't work past 24psi, and I'm running 29psi.

I have a wideband but not the display gauge. I'm not a fan of gauges anyway.

When I'm flooring the car it's not like I will be looking down at them so whats the point of having them?

Got some nice pictures taken of the car today. Intake, wideband, and pro-sport boost gauge are now installed

Credit goes to my buddy John O'Neill who took these awesome photos.






This ones were a joke, wanted to get something kinda funny before I lower it:

car looks a lot better...but boy is that the worse place to put your wideband...and whoever said they do not like to look at the gauges when they are flooring it....then how the f**K you monitor your car? gauges are for functionality not show...When i go WOT i always take a peak at the wideband and make sure the a/f ratio is where i want it to be, if something goes out of whack, your wideband will be the first gauge to let you know...saved my motor twice on my previous car, thanks to the wideband.

I agree, the wide band is an important aspect to the car. I tucked it away intentionally, but still kept it visible.

Actually, driving it around today, I realized that it is actually pretty visible while I'm driving. I am very happy with the placement, and I kept the clutter off my dash.

Really? I heard good things about Injen. I definitely wanted to stay away from the K&N Typhoon. I thought Injen was decent quality? Anybody else have any experience with Injen piping on the Evo?

I thought about wingless, and I may buy a wingless CF trunk lid and paint it Apex Silver, just so I can swap it out any time I feel like. I like the wing because it's a stripped/re-cleared wing that gives it a unique look.

Hmmm I had injen and it was fantastic. The stock kept popping off under wot! I think he might be just getting a word in for his sponsors. Not saying that they aren't the best in the business, cause they are.

Introducing the new look. A fresh proper drop thanks to my JIC suspension. (And the BMW one the side for added sex appeal. haha)

I love this suspension. Went on perfect, feels great, and looks amazing dropped!

Coming soon; re-painted wheels, re-pained brembos, FP Red maybe?

Sorry for the crappy pics:
