thanks!, and yea it is, im very happy with it, its an 03 so i will re paint it when ever i get the chance, but its nothing major. motor wise once i get my manifold, 02 housing, intercooler and wideband on i am going to tune it, i do landscaping so the winter is pretty slow, but once summer hits i plan on building the head and buy an FP turbo.

just put my manifold on and 02 housing, nothing crazy i bought them off of cxracing, it may not be the best quality but it works for now, once i start to go up in power i will start going with other parts for sure. but it does the job for now, also started putting in my AEM wideband. will post pics up soon !

Nice! Im also looking to get an 02 housing/3 inch down pipe,do you know about what kind of gains you get from that combo over the stock parts? Im pretty much trying to head in the same direction as you with mods

honestly im not sure, i havent tuned it yet, i will hopefully tune it this weekend, i am running the xspower 3in catback exhaust, cxracing 02 housing & manifold, Injen intercooler piping, intake, i am about to install my godspeed intercooler thursday after work and about the 02 housing, i just bought it for now until i have the time to customize a 02 housing with an open dump, you will get more power gain using an open dump.

Lookin good man Ive got about the same set up going in my evo 8, let me know what gains you get after the tune. I've got the 3in exhaust down pipe and all, injen intake and intercooler piping,boost controller, walbro 255 fuel pump, just orderd my new manifold. Gettin a aem wideband this weekend. Before I get a tune I plan on...new intercooler,injecters,cams,3 gauges. But let me know how yours comes out.

i dynoed it today and made 302HP, i couldve made more but they couldnt put more fuel gain because i still have the stock fuel pump in. you will be able to make more since you have a Walbro
