Looking to Mod 03 EVO, Need opinions

Hi all im looking to get a BOV, Manual Boost controller, Intake, Turbo/vacuum guage, Turbo Timer, and a Turbo back Exhaust. My car has 700 miles on it, going to break it in till 1000-1500 miles. Please leave your opinions on these performace items. Oh and im not looking to spend a butt load of money.

Marko

Exhaust - Buschur
Intake - Stock is fine (otherwise RMR's is nice)
MBC - Buschur aka Hallman
Guage - Autometer
Turbo Timer - unecessary

Shift Kit - B&M (recommended)
ECU Flash - Dynoflash, Xflash, Pflash, etc. (recommended)

I've got the polished Forge Motorsports VTA BOV with all of the springs and plug piece. $100...cheap, hardly used!

competly agree with turbo timer being unecessary waste of money.

TT not being necessary??? Are you kidding me??? It's cool if your going to sit in your car for anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to let your turbo cool down. A TT is TOTALLY necessary!!! Ask around guys

Marko,
I would stay away from a BOV, I'm no pro but it seems that most people(notice that I said MOST so no flames)have problems and are not too happy with an aftermarket BOV. As for other performance mods, I'm sure you will get plenty of advice from members! Good luck.
John

Not really. Just drive easy the last mile or so before you park. Unless you're always running late car pooling four people to work, it's totally uneccesary.

Stock BOV is fine unless you are running crazy boost...

exactly, drive that last mile normally if possible, and by the time you pull the e-brake and get what you need out of the car you ar good to go.

I always leave my Evo in gear when I park it, so no TT for me...

me too thats why i never installed a timer, if you got the $$ to spend then get it some of them look cool. other than that save more money get a turbo-back and boost controller and you evo will put many cars to shame.

Forget all of that crap if you're on a budget. Just get your ecu tuned and you'll get a minumum of 20 whp for under $300. Dynoflash, Vishnu and others offer ecu tuning. I went with Dynoflash and ended up with 258whp. The car is bone stock. If you want to spend big money, then go with the intake, exhaust, bov, downpipe and then the ecu tuning. Your car will fly.
