Wal 255 fuel pump and E85 >>>>> Cams or IC
i believe the stock IC is good up to 500hp, but you can get ~10 out of a better flowing one

You will probably get a few more hp from running an IC. Probably about 10, maybe 15hp if you are lucky.

The stock IC is fairly good for the stock turbo.

You want the IC, not just for power but to avoid heat soak. When the air is hotter outside the stock IC is not as efficient and you'll lose HP faster than with a better and bigger IC, even with a stock turbo.

Do injectors and fuel pump too, as noted.

a newfuel pump isnt really all that necessary apparently on evo x's as the stock is already pretty efficient unless you plan on upgrading to a bigger turbo and puttng down serious power

gonna need to see a dyno chart to believe that. That's 480hp at the crank. From intake, TBE and piping? On pump gas? No you aren't. Not a chance.

I would say intercooler. Not only will you get a little more power out of the car but you should also notice your boost staying a bit more consistent. At least I noticed that it held boost better in my IX MR with a TBE,ETS I/C with all the piping, and a HKS intake. BTW I am making 340WHP/366WTQ@25 PSI on a Dyna Pack Dyno which I think is about 320-325 WHP/335-340WTQ on other dynos. I am making this power with a ARC FMIC,HKS I/C piping,AEM intake,Invidia Catted DP,Invidia N1.
