You're just spoiled. We don't use $10 bleeder valves. We use actual MBCs to control and change our boost whenever we want. We don't have chips either - we have ECU flashes, and this package includes the cheapest flash there is. $1270 is very, VERY little for gaining 60-70whp with REAL parts that are not from the hardware store or ghetto-rigged. I used to ghetto-rig my DSMs to go 12s overnight with almost no money spent, but I don't do that with my awesome, brand new IX. The package comes with the best parts you can get and is less than you'll spend anywhere else for the same power gains.

My question is should I listen to my friends and just sit back wait for that long to start working on my car? btw one more simple question, when should I do the first tire rotation for the new evo? because this is my first awd car ^^
Wait just a little while longer be for adding bolt ons. 3000-4000 miles.

And Wartalon, YES, your right, this is a $35,000 car, I'm NOT going to Getto Parts!
I'm goingto do it right, and your package DOES look like the right one!! And your support and Time spent on this board Helping everyone is GREAT!! Looking forward to a LOT of fun with this car, that is on July 31st when I finally make my deal!!

Mine did not even have 200 miles on it when I was swapping parts from the 03 to the 05. If you have the money for the parts get them now and don't look back. Life is short. You need to get new friends because friends don't let friends drive stock. Good choice of car and welcome.
