I should be getting my car back from AMS next week. I will have plenty of pictures to add then. Until then I will just keep looking at all of these nice shots. Keep them coming.

How is it that everyone with Evo piping has it run slightly differently

I finally took a few of my Lancer. It drives like a whole new car. It is the RRM 16G manifold and turbo on an AMS built motor, with custom AMS intercooler piping, and an AEM EMS. 235HP and 258 Torque. My next step is a ported and built head and RPW camshaft.

^^ looks great. I think part of ur next upgrade you should consider building a bigger turbo manifold with larger collection banks and better wastegate location.

I have given that some thought, but I do not know anyone in the area that does that kind of work. That is the only reason I am using the RRM manifold. I am also not looking to make your kind of power. I am interested more in low end torque and reduced lag than high end power. I think the 16G will work for my goals, but There is room for inprovment in the manifold area.

^^... well...
AMS has done most the work, u know they can build turbo manifolds also.. a 22-26" longrunners with 8inch collectors on a small turbo would still spool great downlow on a small turbo, and would yield a little better power up top.. and u might want to look into a 16g fp white or tomei turbo and switching to e85 (if its a DD, stick with 93 and add meth/water)

I dont know many Indiana fabricators, but im sure theres a ton around you.. send Senate an message, if i remember right, he lives in indiana and has someone really good thats local to him.
(but if u wanted a nice manifold.. a all sch40 2.25" manifold with 22-26'' runners and big 8''tall collectors is what i would tell someone to build u)

shoot me a message if u have any questions.

tell ya one thing. go back to ams and get them to re-inforce that manifold or have them make you a nice one because more than likely like mine did is that the rrm one will crack every weld at the collector and possibly start cracking at the runners as well. it is a very poor design from rrm with no bracing underneath the turbo back to the engine....
