It was fine at first, but as I started driving the car as more of a daily driver when my nissan went down for the count, it wore on me fast.

How is the exhaust note for a turboback on the EVOs?

Also, I'll definately throw a boost gauge, EGT gauge and most likely an oil pressure guage in shortly. The positioning of the stock gauges aren't functional at all. Theres no way you can look away from the road and keep track of any of them while driving.

The main thing is that I'm really looking forward to working on the car again. I did all my work on the last car, I plan on doing the same for this. I'll be doing a lot of research to get intimate with the car, as i'm only vaguely familiar with the 4g63, as it's been a staple for a long time.
Fuel pump is fairly easy to install. There is a nice how to if you search you can find it.

The exhaust note it all depends on the exhaust you go with. With the EVOs, they have nice quiet tone at idle but when you go at WOT it screams but it isn't too bad, it is actually quite a nice roar.

TurboXS makes a decent exhaust that was rated only 2db over stock. Not sure if that was with or without a hfc.

While a hfc is a restriction, it does help with the noise. You can accomplish the same thing with silencers, but at least with the cat it your car won't stink out the guys behind you or attack the cops.

Welcome and enjoy the car! Like some of the others said, a boost guage, TBE, MBC, fuel pump, and tune is a great start.

You don't need an intercooler until you go bigger turbo.

How much did you get the MR for if you don't mind me asking?
I got the MR for 36 flat. I can't wait to start ordering parts in the next week or so. Need to make sure I do enough research first in order to decide on what I want to go with and where to start.

You might want to check the oil level. It seems as if it is short on oil.

I suggest these mods:
fuel pump
turbo back exhaust
manual boost controller
boost gauge
air filter

and when you're done, let me tune it to extract the power, the stock tune is horrible. I have a link in my sig that explains the process, tools required and a I even made a video tutorial to explain the software
