and I want to take it to the red line so bad...well I don't know how to use boost controller it may solve that, taking it to my buddies shop for inspection and see if he can help me out with that and audio. Defiantly getting a PSI gauge and I might get high flow cat, did get any negative comments on the loud exhaust yet.

By the way can some1 tell me the name of the turbo I'm using?

That's the best thing you can do, do not f*ck around with the boost controller if your unsure of what the problem, more boost may not be the answer and will lead to destruction. You have a very powerful car there, but with such power, there can often be more problems. You really have to take of this car, and researching a little more about it, won't hurt. Take it to Turbo Trix or any other EVO specialist as soon as possible.

The car not going above 5k....a problem. You're not even making your peak hp there. You REALLY needa get that think checked out before it breaks completely. But its a sick car none-the-less.

But its exactly at 5K doesn't matter what gear, so I'm sure something is restricting it from going over. its like the red line is set right at 5K... yeah its like I'm hitting a red line. In 2-3hrs taking it to buddy's shop, I'll tell you what comes out

and I have the same problem, and It looks like the same intake, car is in a shop right now, after my friend took a look at it, and drove it around, I was told that the timing belt was off, so after that I'm getting a retune, should I change that intake?

Car got retuned, audio + air conditioning fixed.
Did 480+hp @ 22psi on dynojet (I'll post a dynosheet as soon as I get it from the shop, didn't see it myself yet). Car runs great, hate that triple clutch (loud and grabby as ****) lots of practicing before I drive that babe on the streets, pulls so hard after 3.5-4K rpm I can feel the seat wrap around me. It's hard to believe all that power is coming out of 4 bangers...
