New Evo 8 Owner

Just wanted to say this car is amazing. I bought it from a guy about an hour south of Chicago in Kankekee, IL.

Details:
2003 Lancer Evo
31,xxx miles

Mods done by AMS:
Intake
TBE
ECU Flash

Other Mods include:
Lowered 1" in front, 2" in back
Rear Spoiler Professionally taken off (awesome)
Carbon Fiber hood
18" rims

The car is incredible inside and out. Smells brand new. Car has never been driven in the winter and only a few times in the rain. Always garaged.

I'm glad I work Midnights, I found this car and was lucky enough to be the first person to call about the car.

Can't wait to put a few upgrades in the car. My goal is 500hp/500tq.

ah, ok. that makes sense. As far as getting to 500hp, what is the best turbo on the market to make 500hp without having to drastically upgrade a lot of stuff? I'm not looking for the biggest and badest turbo, just one that will get me close between 450-500hp.

Thanks

Car looks great man. Might want to check out the FP red and FP black turbos and then plan out you supporting mods once you know what turbo is best for you.

For buggger turbo in that hp range I would look into fp red or bbk-b you'll reach 450 with cams springs retainers head studs fuelpump full exhaust intake injectors(880-1200cc) Ic with piping that should be good those are the mods I will be doing for my self I believe 500 you'll need a little more work But good luck!

thanks for the update. I am definitely looking at the FP turbos. Will I be able to run an FP turbo with stock internals and stock transmission to reach 450hp?
