so i just got paid at midnight, i have a stock evo 8 with $2000 exedy clutch and boost gage, and exhaust, everything else is stock, what should i upgrade first to get more whp?

 

The FP red turbo is a good upgrade for HP, It bolts up to stock o2 and headers

 

imm not lookin to upgrade my turbo, more of just the bolt on mods, im askin which bolt ons besides buyin a new turbo i should upgrade. what i should start with. i wanna stick with the stock turbo. sorry i shoulda been more clear

 

Go with some suspesion and tires. stiff up your chassis. not much more then what you got already. next would be some motor parts like cams cam gears. Dont know how else to be helpful

 

i posted on here if i should get some cams, but people told me to start with a manual boost controller. they said not to get new cams for awhile, so i wanted some more oppinions.

 

o and my car is already lowered

 

Boost controllers are good you can also get your stock ECU tuned. With the upgrades you already have. That would give you more HP Get a air intake like AEM or HKS if you dont have one of those yet

 

ok i wanna get a few more up grades before i get a tune, and i heard a boost controller is needed for a tune, is that true?

 

Not to sure. I now my buddys got a boost controller and had his ECU tuned. I think that way you do get more out of the tune.

 

is electronic or manual boost controller better?

 

I'd go with manual. Do you have a air filter? I forgot about the BOV to. I've got the Greddy rs its nice with it being tight all the way. Or you could also go with the tial BOV but then you would have to upgrade you map sensor etc.

 

when i bought the car the dealership put a brand new recirculating bov on it, idk what kind. he said the air intake should be replaced soon

 

HKS is a sick setup for air intake I have the AEM with a K&N filter. If I were to do it different I would have to get the HKS. I hear that the HKS filter get some good air flow

 

The best advice I can give you is to read read read on the forum. There is a wealth of experience and knowledge on here. Here's my $.02. Get a good manual boost controller, a test pipe (if you don't already have one), a 255 lph fuel pump, and a solid tune. Change your air filter if you want. I have had good experiences with Perrin and Apexi. Anyway you should be up some serious HP after the tune. Then just go from there.

 

Great advice. Try getting that stuff soon and take advantage of the English Racing dyno day while theyre up north in auburn on august 1st and 2nd. I see youre in monroe... this will save you a lot of driving time not to mention theyre awesome with evos
