I want to get a little more out of my IX and do my best to preserve the warranty. This isn't a street race car, but it's my every day car so I am not looking to go nuts. I live about 15 miles from Turbotrix, which is a good thing. I have spoken to them today and they were saying to go with a cat-back, drop-in, and tune. They mentioned hiding a boost controller, but I am not too hot on anything that will kill the warranty. I live in a heavy Mustang area, and I can fend them off well as is, but I want more, heh. Any tips from you experts? Thanks a ton and happy racing!
get a turboback exhaust, tune boost controller and boost gauge, i think there is some dealer that allows all basic bolt on turbotrix parts on evos w/o voiding warrenty, i think i saw it on the forums a while ago. but anyways get a turboback exhaust, tune mbc, and boost gauge and drop in. you should be good and conservative. if you want a little more get like a licp, fuel pump, and maybe some of the new ix cams. oh and also,the new buschur 20g LT was tested for pump numbers and on an ix w/ just tbe, and exhaust cam made like 375 whp with a sloppy tune. the good things about this turbo is that it looks exactly like stock so you might get away with that too. its up to you though and there is info all over the forums
Just look around on the forum for a while. There is a lot of information on here.

Brad Benson Mits is who they deal with, however I dont know if they can do anything if you didnt buy it there. I would do a catback, drop in,and hide a MBC. Then you can always hook up the stock boost controller when you bring it in for service. You should be alright like that. Turbotrix is a great resource for our cars, your lucky to live that close!
I have a cat-back, K&N drop-in, and tune. It is a lot better than stock for sure! When I got the tune he modified the boost hose so it would hold boost better and not taper off... it stays at 20 psi pretty consistantly now. This is a good route for not messing with the warranty in my mind.
