The main source will be Japanese tuning companies, like Mine's, HKS Kansai, Monster, Ralliart, etc.....

Since the CN9A + 4G63 is a very well foundation to build on and tons and tons of kits/parts were developed throughout the years of EVO IV to VII, you won't have any problem finding good performance package for the upcoming possible VIII (IF, a big IF they discontinue to use the 4G63, that's another matter).

On the other hand, the CT9A chassis (I assume it will be the same for the VIII) is out for more than 2 years now and numerous companies developed suspensions parts for it as well.

In addition, by the time the EVO hits our shore, there will be a very promising number of tuners in US starting to develop parts as well. No need to worry about that, just take a look at the WRX...

cheers

Well, I re-read your post and just want to say that you don't need a new turbo for more boost. You need to have a boost controller to do that job.

Slightly OT, a lot of people are talking about "I want certain certain boost" and that's kind of the backward way of saying things. You have to understand that under the same boost level, different turbochargers produce different amount of horsepower depends on size. You can have like 25psi on a tiny hair-dryer turbo producing only minimal amount of hp. Or you can have a 16G running 1 bar that produces like 300+ hp.

So to set things straight, you should set you goal on hp, not on boost level. If you're shooting for 350-ish hp level, the stock 16G turbo should do the job with a few upgrades on the intake, exhaust and a boost controller.
