Hey, so I'm looking for some advice on what to do next. I've got a 2006 MR with some mild mods.

Here's what I have now. 1. Cobb Tuning TBE (sounds awesome by the way), 2. Injen Intake system with hard IC pipes, 3. GFB bov (I know, I know, but my OEM bov was giving me a lot of flutter), and 4. Cobb Tuning Stage 2 ECU reflash.

So, what should I do next? I'm thinking of changing out the cams for some 272's, installing the Walbro 255, and getting a custom tune. What do you think? Some say maybe a bigger turbo??? I want to keep it a daily driver. And my focus is getting off the line quick. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Walbro 255, Buschur SS o2 housing, ported exhaust manifold, Forced Performance 4R cams, 880cc injectors, FMIC, then tune.

Then, aquamist HFS-1 and re-tune

 

Fuel pump, Cams, Dyno tune. The list goes on. I'd start to focus on suspension as well.

 

I'd say enjoy what you have for now. Get used to it then go on with the advice above

 

I currently just have a AMS TBE and WORKS drop in.

Gettin AMS FMIC + LICP, Walbro 255, O2 housing, tune next.

Also a boost controller (mbc (if you don't care about 4 season changes) or ebc (if you do.))

Depending on your power goals, you don't need to change the fmic.

Just my 2 cent.

 

If your going to be going with cams, I would recommend FP 4R's. Although, I would recommend a fuel pump, injectors, upgraded IC, and finally a CUSTOM tune.

 

to better answer your question....what is the car going to be set up for

1. drag racing / DD
2. street car only / DD
3. Auto X / Road course
4. DD only

There are many different ways you can go....

I would say start looking into a better clutch. Cause if you plan on doing any major mods then the stocker WILL NOT hold up. They pretty much suck IMO. I'm getting ready to do a clutch/flywheel in my car and all I have done is a k&N drop in but I know I'm gonna be going to the drag strip with the car so I wanted to be ready for it before I did all my bolt ons.

 

Thanks for the feedback. MOstly #2, but I wouldn't mind putting down some quarter miles times now and then, so some drag too.

 

For a street strip car, I'd say a little squirt of meth will be the most fun and the best bang for the buck

 

I've seen factory IX turbos hit low 11s and DD'd so I don't think you need a bigger turbo.

 

Go Walbro 255, LICP, UICP, Boost Controller, then tune!

 

Getting an Evo off the line quick tends to put a lot of stress on the clutch. Therefore. I would suggest exploring an upgraded clutch. Might as well Remove the restrictor pill and upgrade the clutch line while you are at it.

Look into some basic weight saving such as a mini battery.
LICP should net a few extra HP.
A Dyno tune will make the most out of what you have.
Motor mounts and shifter bushings are low cost upgrades that would improve the driveability of a DD and allow for faster, more accurate shifts thus making you faster off the line.

 

Good advice. Thanks people! I think I'll go with the Walbro, cams and custom tune. I'll check into injectors and meth options. I don't know much about those. A new clutch is a must. I'll do that in the spring... might as well get the most of the stock one first. I also like the ideas of the motor mounts.
