EVO X needs advices for more power

Hi,

I've just received my EVO X GSR GG 2 weeks ago and here are the parts i've bought so far:

- AEM intake
- 4" ETS Intercooler with piping

I'm still hesitating on the exhaust system i'll go with because i'd rather have O2 housing to muffler from the same company. For the moment the options are Ultimate Racing, T1R (But not out yet) and AMS (But not out either).
If any of you have some advices i'll be very happy.

After the full TBE exhaust i would like to know what to go next.
I would think about the following:

-Forge Actuator
-Forge Unos Boost controller
-TTP Zchip as soon as they have them available.

My goal is to have about 350whp, with those parts do you think that i would be able to achieve those numbers?

PS: I don't live in the US so i have no way to tune my car, that's the reason i was thinking about TTP.

Definitely. It won't take much for the X to reach those numbers.

Also, take a look into getting the car road tuned once that sort of thing is available. You can do it all via e-mail, and you can get some pretty awesome results.

ETS is great !!!!!!!

Hi all and Hi Michael,

First of all i want to tell you that i've been in cars and bikes for a long time (I mean i had some heavy tuned cars and bikes before but i'm only 24 Anyway here is a short list:
-2004 E46 M3 supercharged by Active Autowerke Stage 4 with W/A injection putting down around 550 rwhp
-2004 STI tuned for rally races with as exemple some RS&SP coilovers (around 10000 USD)
-2004 CBR1000RR ohlins all over with Erion build engine
-2006 ZX10R very well tuned
-2007 ZX14 Turboed

And finally here is my EVO X. Since i don't live in the US my needs were to deal with the best companies that will provide me very good customer service because it's easier for me to think that i won't have to return a product that only the shipping cost will cost me both legs, i'm not even talking about the crazy taxes we have here.
For the m3 Active Autowerke was the best company. After a 2 year business with them and around 20.000 USD spent i'm still one of their best fan. One day i went through Vivid Racing for a Full exhaust which was around 5000 USD and the only thing i can say that i should have stick with AA.

For the EVO X it's the same story i've been contacting many companies to be able to choose with the i'll be dealing with for all my EVO "life" and ETS are the one. 1st Email has been answered 10 minutes later very good package prices, very nice peoples (Michael is great) and even if i'm some kind of picky guy they really how to do their job.

Wow i'm writing a lot sorry for the long post, to make the story short if you want good parts from a good shop go with ETS you won't regret it.

Here are the parts i'm waiting for:

-ETS intake
-ETS 4" intercooler black anodized
-ETS Piping Kit
-ETS custom made O2 housing/Downpipe
-ETS resonated Test Pipe
-ETS Resonated Dual exit catback

And i promise you a lot more to come from ETS.
