New to Evos

Found a hell of a deal for a Evo 10 at my dealer and I'm most likely going to buy it questions for you guys is it a better daily driver than a 04 f250 diesel and any weird issues that I need to watch for? I've already inspected the car and made sure nothing crazy going on underneath and it's clean for 94k also it's a Evo MR

Hey, thanks for posting up @Jrt95

EVO10 vs F250 Diesel = Difference between a Thoroughbred & a Stump puller

Most of us note the basics
  • Boost leak test
  • Leak down test
  • Put this EvO on the rack & look for any signs of rust
  • Any mods done?
If you have the for-sale link, we often look at those that reveal some issues & can give ya a better opinion

Only rust I saw was spot rust on subframe so unibody was spotless as far as mods I saw a Cobb tuner, stainless steel exhaust no cat a wide band and boost gauge pushes like 24-26psi map intake and intercooler piping and a different wastegate/ blow off valve and has one code for bank one sensor 2 for o2 sensor no ad because I rushed them quick for it
