Ok so to start off, I'm sorry for what is sure to be a horrible read. Ok now that thats out of the way, I'm coming from the subie world. I owned an 05 WRX for the past six years and had basic bolt ons and a tune. I loved the car, but it was approaching 100k and I wanted to upgrade. After looking at a few STi's and Evos i found a great deal on a IX and jumped on it. I usually dont buy modded cars, but for the price and milage i couldnt pass it up.

On to the car. Its an 06 IX that is absolutely amazing inside and out. Mechanically im not quite sure, it pulls hard and the clutch is strong but other than that im not sure. Ive put about 600 miles on it in the few days that ive owned it and not seen any problems that I know of.

I guess I have a few questions and if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciate it. Basically based on the pictures I was wandering if anyone could tell me what mods that it has or if anything looks miss. I believe it has cold air intake, boost controller, looks like new IC piping, coilovers, AF Boost oil press and exh temp guages. Also if anyone knows what the pictured USB cord in the glove box is for that would be helpfull.

I think that is about it. If i can think of anything else ill throw it in here. Again sorry for the horrible post but i wrote it all real quick and kinda drunk so...ya

 

more

 

even more

 

Also Im having it tuned on Wed, because im sure it needs one. Any comments appreciated.

 

I see 3 Defi gauges on the pillar and an AEM Uego wideband on the steering column...aftermarket spark plugs wires...Injen intercooler piping & intake...a VTA(vent to the atmosphere) BOV...Hallman boost controller...drilled & slotted rotors...aftermarket rims...the thing in the glove box is a control box for the defi gauges...

Suggestions...take that plug out of the intake and pick up a stock evo IX bov and recirculate it. Did the previous owner say anything about a fuel pump...I would check to see if the car has a walbro fuel pump, if not, put one in...I would check out the spark plugs & probably throw a new setup in...I also suggest changing all the fluids...oil, coolant, brake fluid, trans, t-case, rear diff...Then get a tune...

 

That looks like an HKS intake to me, but like he said i would go with a recirculating bov.

 

ya its any HKS intake and bov, not sure on the fuel pump but ill check

 

hks intake, injen intake, same thing...haha...just recirculate that bov...

 

Everything you said is right on the money 06MRevo. ^^^^

 

Ill take care off the bov issue right away. Also I HATE these wheels so if anyone wants to trade for some of those super pretty forged BBS MR wheels id be your best friend

 

.....

no body mentioned the interstate battery or fuel rail... also... if you are running such a stock car then there isnt a point to the walbro. i ran my stocker for 3 yrs of hard driving and low 12s. and as dumb as it may sound when i added my walbro it over ran my fpr to the point my afr dropped by 1.0 which made me have to retune my car... before you upgrade something major like cams or turbo then yea... by all means get a walbro. dont chance your motor... but dont waste money that doesnt need to be...

and its a bit off topic but i'd ditch the buckeye flag for a good team like the vols... lol

 

Vols...good team? womens tennis maybe. Just kidding, but on another note with a good tune what time of power could I be making. I know every car is diff blah blah, but a ballpark would be nice. Also I forgot to add earlier it does have a full turbo back.
