Well i got my Evolution and have some issues...

Taking the car in for service on the trans (noticed a weak grind on the entry from 2-3 and from 4-5) I found the TSBs for it on the forum (thanks) and hopefully they will be replacing the syncros and speed gears under warrenty.

A Question i had was of a transfur case noise(or so i think) its a gear whine as i decelerate into turns (not a turbo whine), i was curious if this is normal on the evolution.

Keeping in mind that i will be doing my best to keep my warrenty, here is a list of mods id like to take and id like to hear any re-placement, recomendations anyone has.


Boost Gauge....Defi & gauge pod from lancer shop
Works Axle Back Exhaust.....not expecting huge gains, just alittle throatier car
Works Filter....better alternative to K&N?
Works Diverter Valve.....dont want a ricy BOV but would like to replace the plastic stock piece.

 

First off, mitsu has to replace your synchros under warranty because its a TSB, they did mine. Just a tip, if you're plannaing on getting an aftermarket clutch installed at any time, the synchro replacement is a good time to do it, because most of the labor to do a clutch will be on Mitsu.

I think your mod list looks good, the only thing i'd suggest is to get at least a catback exhaust on the car, you'll probably be wanting more in a couple of months.

 

the reason i went with works was that i could buy the intermediate pipe should i want in the future...

THanks for the tip about mitsu....do i need to wave the TSB in their face or is it an easy sell as far as getting them to do the work?

 

The mods should be fine, but I wouldn't do the Works BOV. YOu don't need to replace the stocker until you start pushing more than stock boost with an MBC, EBC, or boost-controlling flash. Until then, getting a BOV would be for pure aesthetic reasons, which doesn't really fit in with the other mods on your list.

 

Duely noted and scratched off the list...thanks....any suggestions for other mods along the same scheme
