New member out of Lexington here. First Evo to date. First turbo 4cyl. awd vehicle to date and in the short time I have owned this car, I am truely impressed. I've had F-body Camaro Z28's, SS's, Mustangs, B5 S4, Impreza, and a handful of trucks and suvs but the Evo X surpasses them all. Looking for any kind of info, suggestions, feedback, etc. on the best preventative maintenance, modifications, and daily driver input so please post away. Little about the car:
2012 Evo X GSR in wicked white w/ SSS
Daily driver with 45k on the clock
ETS FMIC with upper and lower hardpiping
Turbo Smart Dual Port BOV
(Unknown, most likely ETS judging by the filter bracket) cold air intake with K&N filter
Full AMS exhaust bolt ons from the turbo to muffler (catless Test Pipe & Divorced DP)
Greddy single out muffler with Titanium tip
XXR 527 18's in chromium black
Dual gauge pillar pod with Passport Evo Gauges
Grimspeed boost controller? It's small, blue, and in my opinion crappy. Out of everything on the car being near immaculate, this was poorly installed.
Other than that it's pretty much factory.
Current & future plans:
Changing out all the fluids (minus the SAWC, which from what I've read to stay away from until the pump goes).
Boost solenoid (Grimspeed seems to be the best bang for the buck but I'm leaning towards Turbo Smarts eBoost)
Tune via Cobb or Tephramod. Big picture is to have an E85 map, if the fuel system is upgraded.
Dream wishlist is a MAP exhaust manifold and a turbo around 6785, but it's just a daily driver at the moment so maybe next year.
WHP/WTQ is unknown. Would like to see close to 400 to the wheels and keep it daily dependable.
Thanks for checking my thread and please, please help a brother out who doesn't know **** about Evo's.

Awesome introduction and welcome!
Thank you for the pics and in my favorite color. Please take a look at the stickies in this forum as a good place to start. Have fun with your 4 door 'go cart' steering grocery 'getter'.
