New to the Evo Scene

Whats up guys, my name is harvey and im new to the evo scene...Used to own a 330HP 93 civic with a stock gsr motor and a turbo kit. just did minor bolt-ons on my 06 evo 9 like a tanabe turbo-back system, hks intake, sard bov, invidia o2 housing, greddy profec B spec 2 boost controller, walboro 255 hp fuel pump, greddy upper charge pipe. planning to bump up the boost to 22psi and get the car tuned. also i don't know if having a carbonetic twin plate carbon clutch would be an over kill for the car. i have heard the the evo have alot of problems with the clutch....if you guys have any other suggestions on what i should buy before i get the car dynoed, let me know.....thanks for helping me out....

That clutch is a def overkill. Get a Exedy Hyper twin HD its good for alot of power and torque but it is not an overkill and dont cost as much!

the upper intercooler pipe wasent needed really, but you defifintly need a lower pipe!!!! and make sure you get it tuned before you dyno or you will be disapointed.....
