Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself here on evom! This is the 4th forum site I am a part of; list includes
hondaclub(rip 99 boosted SI Civic- 249hp @10 PSI)
clubrsx(06 RSX-S=DD)
gixxer(05 GSXR600-full yoshi race exhaust, RK racing chain and sprockets, k&n filter, power commander
and now I'm in the EVO class. I recently bought a 2012 Evo GSR that was nicely modded already. Drove 6 hours to pick it up and already have an oil leak!!!
Anyways, the car currently has an AMS intake, AMS uicp, AMS intercooler, hallman pro manual boost controller, map downpipe, map test pipe, invidia cat back(which I hate) AEM boost and AFR gauges, swift lowering springs, torque solutions short shifter, AMS shifter bushings, stock wheels powder coated black, 20% window tint, tuned by STM. It made 326hp 325tq on STM's mustang dyno on 27psi.
If I had enough posts on here I would put some pictures but I have just been learning about the EVO and doing some reading and research. Any input on this car would be awesome.
Thanks for help in advance!!

Why do you hate the Invidia catback? Aesthetics? Sound? I love mine personally. Liked it before and after my ETS test pipe was put on.
The oil is leaking from the pressure line to the turbo on the block side. I was hoping the dealer would fix it under warranty but they said, NO! The mechanic said it was missing the o-ring; I'm going to install a new one this weekend. They told me that whoever took the line off must have not put the ring back in place which STM preformance did the work. Obviously that is what the seller told me so who knows, I learn as I go.
Cost...I hate to say, 29k
Personally I do not like the way it sounds but also I want to return to a dual exhaust setup. Those are my 2 true reasons. Plus I've looked at several exhaust setups and I feel as they could have made it with a few less bends.
I think it is 10 days/10 posts...which I hit 10 yesterday so I will put some on here today!

What did you post as at ClubRSX? I'm sort of active on there still, mostly in AutoTalk and the boxing thread in the sports section.
Like Slow-S or something lol hardly had any posts on there. Never could get into upgrading that car. Just isn't easy to get power out like this car will be.
And some more....who thinks I need to install an oil catch can?!!! Those 2 pictues are looking into the intake from the vac line coming off the valve cover and then inside the housing on the turbo.
