I wanna Build a reliable evo x

ok..im pretty new to the evo game but have done some research on certain parts i would like to get and tune..i have friends with older evos and i will be the only one with a x....heres the parts listed below..any feedback is greatly noted on the psi i should run with these parts...what should i do next...and awhp/awtq #s i should get...i will be using Evolution dynamics in carrolton,tx for tuning on stock ecu. they are REALLY good!!

Ams short ram
Ams upper/lower intercooler pipe
Ams intercooler
Ams widemouth DP
Ams header
Tomei ti test pipe
tomei ti catback- LOVE that system"""
DW 1300cc injectors- i know i dont need that big ...for when i really build the car"""
walbro 255
turbosmart recirc valve
hks 272 s1 cams
...............................................
now what im not so sure what i need to do for those supporting mods...i would like to stay stock turbo for as long as possiable.....daily drivability is a MUST..i do not rag on my cars nor do i go launch crazy...more/less i play on the highway/backroads..so fourth. i just want a good awhp/awtq # with REALIABILITY !!! Fuel press reg? Wastegate? anything else i would need to get?

You can make use of those 1300cc injectors by switching to E85 if it is available in your area. You will get a lot of horsepower from tuning with E85.

I have FIC 1450cc injectors though. You might need to go a tad bigger?

I replaced my OEM intercooler with AMS due to hitting a raccoon and I like it alot.
However, without a larger turbo, I do not think you need it? I have heard that you can loose horse power when it is not necessary.

I think the HKS 272s are a bit mild, but sounds like that might be what you want (seems to be alot of people reselling theirs on evom).

I posted a cam thread with a poll and I have decided I am going with GSC S2 274s for my 60k timing belt service.

This is what I have found from my research, I hope this helps?

If you are running pump then you could skip the fuel pump and go with 800cc injectors. If E85 then DW1000 or FIC1100 would be enough with stock turbo. Getting too big of an injector can cause the car to not run as smoothly. If you aren't getting a big turbo then get a properly sized injector.

I'd have Evo Dynamics install one of their 3-ports before the tune.

Never heard of HKS cams for a X. I really wouldn't bother with cams on a stock turbo...you'd max it out just by going to E85.

if you wanna stay stock turbo, look into the ets open dump dp. its sick

are you going to be racing the car, launching it? most likely your going to wanna get a new clutch even if you arent launching it.

You cannot buy the manifold by itself and wouldn't work with stock framed turbos

well then the ets manifold it is...replaces stock k=..and btw what is the twin scroll feature? says it maintains twin scroll feature of stock turbo..all my friends have evo 9s so the x is like a alien to them....and the ams dp is a widemouth..thats why i choose that one. but ill look into the ets dp...and so i need a boost controller for Evoluiton dynamics to tune my car prop? im not going to jack up the boost...keepin it conservitive but to have fun on the highway on the way to work..lol...and for the girls=) but i dont plan on launching nor abusing my car like kids that live in my area..parents buy them a evo/sti and they blow it up before 60k i would like my car to last a lonnnnngggggg time. like 2 or 3x's 60k. i would like to be 400whp+ and maybe ill get a fp red or something.."stock frame turbo" right?? and if i was going to change the turbo to say a fp red/black/green IDK would i be able to keep the crower stage 1 cams or would i need like a stage 2 cam? im going to cam it but will keep the stock turbo as long as possiable or until i want more power.
