New to tuning and need advice. Please help

I bought my evo x about a year ago and i love the car but it came modded and i didnt do anything more to it so i was doing fine. Untill....

I found out my turbo, manifold, and downpipe are all shot. Fine. I fix it. All good. I put the same downpipe on and an aftermarket manifold (downpipe was already aftermarket)

Come to today i have bought a Cobb tuner and need advice on what tune to run in the car with all the mods in it and with consideration to the fact that i drive it everyday to work.

Mods I know of:
Injen hard line top air tubes
K&N air filter
Synapse Bov
MAPerformance polished and ported manifold
MAPerformance Downpipe
catless testpipe (no brand on it i saw)
full 3’’ cat back exhaust

Can i get suggestions on what OTS to run on 91?

Your gambling with trying to pick an OTS tune that may or may not work under XXX conditions. Just get an e-tune if you don't have a tuner that can do an actual dyno tune for you. Chet Rickerman Tuning comes to mind, as others have mentioned him.

this. I wouldn’t trust the Cobb maps, the tune you have now is for what you’ve got on there. If you wanted a better tune or there is something wrong with yours I would find a shop with experience with the evo x or get an e-tune from someone reputable like what Jaraxle suggested. Chet Rickerman is great form what I hear. I had Brian Staley e-tune mine with flex fuel and the car has been perfect. If you want his contact info I would be happy to provide it. You will need ecuflash and a tactrix 2.0 cable at the least and evoscan setup to monitor and log data.

p.s. Nice manifold, give that engine bay a cleaning 😁
