And after install im planning to ship my ecu to br to get it flashed! let me know wat u guys think and possibly wat else i can do thats a small bolt-on that wont be to expensive for right now!! Thanks alot guys!

 

Get rid of that BOV now. It'll make your car run like ****. The Evo is designed to work with a recirc valve only. With a VTA valve, you're releasing measured air and the ECU can't compensate.

 

Good list, except for the BOV.
I went with the APS, much better.

 

OR just stay with the stock BOV as it holds plenty of boost. Mine is holding 27 psi all day. Also, don't get the Megan 02 housing. Go for an O2 dump instead. Better gains.

 

Thanks guys! For now im gunna keep that bov due to the fact that i ordered the front mount brand new and ordered the uicp with that flange! I can still recirculate it i just gotta buy that hose.. I guess its optional on the new ssqvs?

 

even thou, HKS bov is not really that good recirculated too.

 

No ill definitely look into changing it out just not right now!

 

What numbers should i look forward to? if i went this rout..

 

I would go with kelford 272's personally.... but thats just me. And yes stock bpv > hks bov.

 

Thanks! And i heard alot of good things about the hks but would there be a big difference between those two?

 

if he is staying with Stock turbo for a long time he should go with 264's, works better then 272, the 272 is better with bigger turbo.

 

Although ETS ROCKs, their intake is not the best. I would scratch that from the list and go with a AEM one or something else. Also, instead of the hks cams I would go with GSC S2's.

 

Could also get the car tuned locally to you and go with speed density conversion since you have a VTA setup ready to go on the car. I would recommend a local tune regardless as opposed to a mail-in, but I'm not familiar with your optoin in NE.

 

I have included my opinions...


Goin to order:
Ets turbo intake- I would go with Samco intake tube/Vibrant MAF adapter and Perrin Filter
Ets upper radiator hard pipe- Waste of money
walbro 255 pump- Excellent choice
hks 272s- Good choice, but GSC s2s might gain you a bit more HP
megan o2 housing- Get the ebay O2 for cheaper, and make sure to port the wastegate hole to avoid creep! (same product!)
megan exhaust manifold- Waste of money
guages- Boost and AFR

Also the HKS BOV will be fine on your car it will run a bit rough due to VTA, and can be a bit dangerous when going around a turn and the BOV begins to make the car buck at partial throttle. Also you will burn a tad more gas as it dumps fuel during shifts when you VTA...

 

nice but i would recommend a forge BOV if your persistent about VTA get a tial along with a GM maf and a translator...
