i just got my car and i ordered hks legamax exhaust and an hks blow off valve. i like how they sound are they any good for my cars performance? i also got greddy turbo timer. right now im lookin into finding a great jdm intake for a good price. any suggestions? and sometime next month im thinkin of sending vishnu my ecu so they can reflash it. what do u guys think? it says 380hp and torque so it sounds good to me. and anyone knows where i can get the tail lights that look like the one that come in the new ralliarts cuz i wanna change mine!
DAMN! so many choices. i need help!

IMO the BOV and the turbo timer both won't be worthwhile to get.
If you are looking for a good deal on JDM intakes, EAuto & Driveline Motoring has a special on ARC intakes right now.

The stock BOV is really well made so it is not necessary to replace it. The turbo timer is also not necessary for an Evo X, most people don't even have one at all.
The first JDM test pipe that comes to mind would be the MXP one.

hmmm...yea i see im kinda just feelin the bov cuz of the sound lol it sounds nice. but the turbo timer yea i guess it kinda get annoying. ill probably think about it again if i get a aftermarket turbo way down the road.

Sounds like somebody broke the piggie bank, LOL! Why JDM? There are quite a few American Tuners making great parts for the Evo X that are showing excellent numbers. Support OUR economy and buy American!
No on the BOV - not needed, and may actually hurt performance/driveability
No on the turbo timer - not necessary on newer Evo's
Vishnu is a good company. They should take care of you. Just tell them your mods before you send in for a flash. It is better to go there and have them tune it there.
Tail lights you can get from a few vendors on here. Just look in the For Sale section. I got mine from RussellM @ mitsubishiparts.net

i dnt really know about the all jdm thing. haha ill look more into the other stuff but i wont really be doin much more til later down the year. im so young so ill wait.
for now i just put the hks exhaust and the bov. i just like the sound of the bov thats why i put it.
probably in a month ill get the tune that vishnu offers that sounds good. right?
probably before the year ends ill just put an intake and exhaust pipes. thats pretty much it. its my DD
what u guys think? . hks bov, hks exhaust. soon the intake and exhaust pipes and vishnu tune. im only 19 so i dont really make much to do stuff. i just want a car that sounds good, fun to drive and a bit better performance that the stock.
You really need to do some research on these forums before you commit to anything. You will learn which parts are suitable for your own needs.
Vishnu aren't the only ones that offer a tune.
Just simply reading the Evo X Tuning Forum will give you loads of different options, some better than others and some being equally good.
AMS Performance offers alot of very well made pieces for the Evo X for a decent price. Exhausts to intakes to intercoolers to anything.

Any other parts, you'll find reviews and plenty of information on different brands in their own respective forums.
Good luck.

try a drop in air filter....it's cheap and it gets you a little better performance and a little bit of the 'whisssh' (the bov sound that you so dearly desire)
