Talking Returning Newb with Pix

ok, well i am back on the board now. My original plan to purchase an EVO IX GSR fell through due to a shady seller. I had been searching hi and low locally to find an EVO IX(i just love the body style of it over the others, just personal pref) So i return with pictures of my new(to me) 2006 Lancer Evo IX MR.

It is completely stock. I called AMS yesterday(Fri) and ordered(with next day air delivery) the TBE with resonator. I am going to throw it on today after i can get a clear lift at the shop. Also on the way is a black Greddy Turbo Timer(w/harness), Autometer single guage column pod), Defi Boost guage, and an Openport cable to tune the car with OpenEcu. This coming week i am looking at upgrading the stereo and speakers(with a sub). and also a Go Fast Bits Stealth BOV. Let me know what you think. Thanks ahead. -Rob-

Leave your BOV alone; the MR BOV is perfect and adequate for your current mods.

If you want to BOV sound, add an apex'i intake or Bushur-racing intake kit to your car w/ that TBE, and you'll hear that BOV scream!
