2006 WW Evo IX....I'm just a meatball trying to be a steak!

Hello EvoM!

Just thought i'd share my journey so far with my evo! I purchased her completely stock from a Marine Vet who had her garaged with 45k virgin miles. 2 years later and just shy from hitting 47k miles, I managed to scrounge up all my loose pennies, nickles, and dimes to afford these mods:

Current Mods:
Engine:
Kelford 272s
Supertech Titanium Valve Springs/Retainers
ARP Headstuds
ETS Short Route piping
ETS 3.5 IC
ETS Battery Relocate
GrimmSpeed E Boost Control
K&N Intake
Megan Manifold and DP
Walbro 255
1600cc Deatswerks Injectors
HKS TBE
Volk TE37 (Custom Honda Cloud Silver)
Volks Lug Nuts
JDM Tails
JDM Rear
Some ARC Stuff (rad shroud, shifter, spark plug covers, oil cap, rad cap)
Cusco Stuff

Suspension...STOCK! I know i know....I'll get to it









But the best is yet to come! After arriving from the gym this afternoon, 2 large boxes were patiently waiting on my porch! i'd like to share the excitement as I opened up these boxes like a kid on Xmas Eve



















Full Race Evolution 8/9 T4 Divided Dual 38mm Turbo Manifold
MVS Wastegate 38mm Black w/ Full-Race logo
EFR 76/70 1.05A/... Borg Warner 76/70 Turbo
1.05 A/R T4 Twin Scroll
External Wastegate
Plus all the fittings


Thanks To Jeremy at Full Race, he managed to get me these minor upgrades before Monday, which is the install/dyno/tune date I will keep you guys posted on the numbers in a couple of days!

The Full Race Manifold is a great manifold I love it, I am also a 6466 T4 Divided 1.15 A/R. The parts are great looking and so is the car minus the 4x4 look lol.

Looks good. Change out that intake though. K&N's dont flow well per some of the air filter tests (plus it's small). Since you are in Cali (like myself) I always prefer the AEM which flows pretty darn well and is CARB Legal

Looks nice!

Just a note about the full race manifold...I dont have that one, but I do have the pro-stock and it came with mild head and turbo flanges. I thought they used pure stainless and I wish I would have gotten mine coated before installation.
