Parts Installed - Updated w/ pics

Well it took 16hrs of wrench time installing all these parts by myself. But at the end it paid off. On the turbo back install I used zip ties to hold up the exhaust so I can work lol. In the future ill call a buddy to help me out. But installation is not over I still have to install my gauges and of course get a tune from Tobz in Denver. Dont mind the dirty pics weather in Colorado hasnt been pleasant.

Parts Installed:
AMS FMIC
AMS UICP
AMS LICP
AMS CAI
AMS TURBO BACK EXHAUST (w/ wide mouth DP and High flow cat)






Thanks to DAN at AMS!!! for answering all my questions and getting me my parts quick!!!

well my goal is 400 but I doubt ill make that with just simple boltons. I spoke with tobz and he told me with the parts I have installed i should hit 375.

I spoke to another tuner and he told me I can easily make 401. But tobz has been tuning evos for 8 years now and the other guy Im not to sure about lol. Ill make sure I post pics up with the dyno results when i get them.

Lol thats quite funny because I called pappa johns, and had a **** load of monster, but I did not consume alcohol didnt want to mess things up.

16hrs was a pita Im in the Army stationed here at Fort Carson. I got home about 330ish and didnt finish untill 330 the next morning. Next day I had to go to the shop and use a lift to install the turbo back that took me about 4hrs.

The guy I wasnt to sure about going to get my tune done with was at Underpressure Performance in the springs next to 4 wheel auto on acadamey. I had bad experience with them before when I use to have an RSX type-s. Some how they messed up my drive shaft boot and all this grease just flew everywhere.

There is another shope called revolutions performance but another fellow troop told me they messed up his tune. So Tobz ftw!!

I sure feel alot more low end power. I did complain to myself about 1st gear though when the car was stock. 1st gear felt like **** there was no torque to much restriction when stock. with the parts installed 1st gear feels great now.
