My Evo X Is Finally Done Plus Dyno Sheet And Pics
Hey whats going on. Well I finally got my car back and its all done for now. I was actually with out my car for almost 3 months it was crazy. I took it to a shop down in el paso and they totally messed up my car and continued to lie to me.
So finally I took my car out of the shop and drove all the to vivid racing (about 7 hours) to get it fixed. They basically had to take the whole aquamist system out and re do the whole thing. Then they looked at the way the hooked up the greddy EBC, and they hooked it up to the stock solenoids and the EBC solenoids
. So they fixed that. So now we took a look at the exhaust. The shop in el paso said the bolts for the o2 housing to the down pipe were to short. Remember the bolts that mitsu put on the car, they said they were wrong
So vivid took the exhaust apart and there was no GASKET
. So they fixed that and looked at the downpipe and test pipe connection and it was missing a bolt. So vivid hooked me up and fixed everything for me. Here is a pic of the wires they had to pull out to get the aquamist system to work.

Well here is my mod list up to date:
DTM FMIC
DTM DOMINATOR 2 TURBO FROM BLOUCH
DTM LICP
AQUAMIST METH KIT HFS-1 PLUS GAUGE
U-R DOWN PIPE
U-R TEST PIPE
U-R CAT BACK EXHAUST
U-R UICP
AMS INTAKE
AMS SHIFTER BUSHINGS
GREDDY PROFEC B SPEC II EBC
GREDDY TURBO TIMER
EIBACH PRO KIT LOWERING SPRINGS
ACT CLUTCH
AEM WIDEBAND GAUGE
5% WINDOW TINT
So finally i was able to get it on a Dyno and here is the sheet:

Our best run we got was 390/330 on a mustang dyno spraying 50/50 meth mix. And i have to say this turbo is amazing. They car could of broke over 400 but my bov was maxed out. As soon as we bumped the boost pass 24 psi the bov just started going crazy so we had to keep it about 23 to 24 psi. If you are thinking about a turbo up grade I would highly recommend this turbo. If i had a better bov i could of easly gotten over 400awhp on the stock fuel set up.
Here is some pic my aquamist set up:

First I have to thank Nick at DTM. Awesome turbo and fmic, and awesome customer service. I would have to say you helped me out the most and always gave me advise when I needed it, especially with that shop in el paso. They would of messed up my car even more if it wasnt for nick. Cant wait for your next parts you come out with.
Have to give big thanks to Mitch, one of the greatest tuners for evo period. Its amazing what a car can do with a good tune. I think our base run started at 304 awhp I was sad lol. And by the time we were done he got it to 390awhp/330torque now i am happy lol. We actually could of gotten more but the BOV was maxed out, so I am going to get it re-tuned my mitch with a better fuel set up, bov, and o2 housing. But if you ever get a change to get your car tuned my mitch go for it.
Last I have to thank every one at vivid racing. They fixed my car in a day and gave me an awesome price as well. By the way after seeing you shop X in person, that car is beautiful keep up the good work.

Wow, looks like they pulled out a rats nest of wiring there and they did a real hackjob installing your HKS EVC. That's one reason I try and to as much as I can on my own, even if it takes longer. I'm glad Vivid Racing was able to sort it out after the fact and get you running so strong!
When you say maxed out did you get a jumpy boost neeedle on your gauge if it was tapped on the same line as the BOV signal line? Or could you actually hear it leaking air at higher pressures? I crushed mine slightly and it still seems to be fluttering the needle so I moved the gauge away from that pressure source so I can actually read it. I should likely still replace it or crush it some more, but I want good drivability without compressor surge at low RPM's. I'm thinking the Works BOV would be the best bet for stock like operation but able to hold more boost.
Without the signal line hooked up to my stock BOV I couldn't boost over 18 PSI it was leaking so bad, apparently it really needs that in place to keep it sealed to around ~24-25 psi.

Well as soon as we passed 24 psi, the BOV just started Fluttering like crazy. So we left it at 23-24psi and it worked fine. But i am in the market for a new bov just dont know which one to get yet. Need one that can handle 500+ awhp. And ideas.

Just want to say thanks every one for all the good words, i am glad my car is finally running and running strong. I am going to try and take her to the 1/4 mile track this firday and see if i can get her in the11's.
congrats, you prolly could go with the hks bov. how are the springs i was thinking about about getting eibach springs but i didnt want the car to sit too low. can you tell a big difference in handling with them on compared to stock.

Man for the price the springs are awesome, and as you can see in the pic they dont sit to low at all. Easy enough to install, if you have the right tools and know what you are doing. And yes it helped out a lot for handling trust me you will like them. I am going to keep them until i save some more money for some coilovers.
