Newbie Modder needs help with shopping list
Hey guys I have the "Injen crap." My car is pretty slow too... 
Looks like trash? Looks are subjective.
No t-bolts? Funny, I run at 27 psi all day and never have had any LICP or UICP blow off.
Not even an upgrade? I want to know where you get that claim from. I made 345/344 with just a TBE and tune. After the Injen kit + EPM dump, I gained 24 whp and 34 wtq. You mean to tell me that I gained THAT much power from the dump alone? Oooook.
Then again, you are toting DEFI gauges out of all things...gauges that have proved time and time again to be inaccurate eye candy.

+1 man...cant go wrong....if i had it to do over again, id go all out buschur
I agree. And what I said is obviously my opinion.
I can't even count the amount of times I blew my piping off with worm clamps. Never an issue with my t-bolts. I'd much rather have the extra insurance with t-bolts and not have to worry about my LICP laying in the middle of the freeway.
Compare the stock LICP to the Injen and tell me how much of an upgrade it is. Never said the intake doesn't make some power... I did specifically say the LICP.
You also conveniently left out the fact you upped the boost somewhere in there.
That's funny, since my logs seem to agree with what my Defi reads. The Defi also reads exactly like the Stewart Warner I had prior to it. You want to talk about an inaccurate POS, we can talk about the Autometer I had.

As for the Defi's, I'm surprised truthfully. A lot of people on here have reported them to be as much as 2 psi off compared to a MAP sensor log. But yeah, Autometer is absolute trash
injen is junk!!
it is way too heavy, double at least of all others!! its made from potmetal garbage, and its as long if not longer of factory pipes!! Sure it is cheap and you can get it in a neat little kit that comes with all the pipes... put its garbage
I believe that that dump can contrible the majority of those gains!!
i love my nisei pipes!! super light, perfect fitment, and color or shine you want, comes with awesome couplers, hose technique FTW and tbolts!! cant be beat!! i am also very impressed with ets's products super high quality!!
AMS and buschur both are proven to be leaders in everything, you can never go wrong with any of there products!!

Jbud,
I'm shocked that you're making that much power! That's good news because my 06 mr will be tuned on saturday with your mods. You don't have cams changed? How can you push 27 psi?? isn't that too much boost until you change that fmic or radiator? Things are looking promising for my results. WHat hp/torque were you at the beginning with no mods?

In my experience in modding cars, I've found that its best to not go cheap on parts. Get the good stuff on the first go around, and you will save a lot of money in the long run.
everybody has a opinion on parts. its completely your choice and how much you want to spend. FYI just cause its does not cost that much does not mean its junk. Pick parts based on your goals or rather follow the advice of your tuner they usually will not steer you wrong. There are way to many fanboys on this site that think only 3 companies are gods at producing parts for a evo completely false so find a part you want and do research on that part and if the negative outweighs the positive then dont get it but saying you cant make power on injen pipe system is completely false and stuipd i have seen a 700+hp evo running that system. i have done extensive work on my injen system and completely happy with it after i made some changes now is it perfect no is it the best nope but it gets the job done easily so i can spend money or MORE IMPORANT PARTS like turbo upgrade intercooler and the all important built shortblock 
Thanks all for the advice. I do photography as a hobby and definitely like the advice of buying right the first time. It certainly does save money in the long run. I just happened to have a chance encounter with dan buschur (didn't know it at the time) on another forum. Needless to say he's going to work me up some good numbers for doing some work. I'm pretty excited.
