Open up the intake - intake, MAF pipe, intercooler pipes
Open up the exhaust - downpipe, cat delete pipe and catback
THEN get a custom tune.....wasting money on a tune otherwise.

DO NOT GET A MAF PIPE. simple as that, and if your injen setup you got has the metal maf pipe - i suggest putting the stock rubber one back on. The metal maf pipes F with the sensor on the evo.......also your car does not have a rev limiter at 5k with the clutch in...its more like a rev limit at 8k....so i dont suggest putting the clutch in and holding the gas to the floor

Just because I own a STI doesn't mean I don't know anything about the DSM's/Evo's. I've had my hands on more than enough 4G63's to make myself dangerous.
Buschur's newest metal MAF pipe works just fine on my buddy's Evo.
Also, last time I checked, his Evo has a 2-step at 5500RPM that makes 10psi of boost.

Hope college is going well, better see you at some meets! Lots has changed from the ol' days....
Evolution(OH) has an 03 so LateSleeper is correct in his statement that the 03 does NOT have 2-step.
Slorice, down boy down...it's ok to step off the soapbox every once in awhile....LOL
The MAF hard pipe has had numerous issues with no real tuning gains on Evos in general. Maybe Eric has had success with it but probably 90% of Evo owners will run an intake filter with the stock pipe. It's been renowned to give erratic air flow readings with the hard pipe.
I agree though with getting the full TBE, some type of intake, some type of boost controller, and custom tune....otherwise with a flash, it'll be pricey getting flashes for individual bolt-ons.

Either way, at least get a turboback, intake and boost controller, then get a flash.

Spotted a BBY VIII on I-480 getting off @ the Great Northern mall exit around 5 pm today (5/6/06) THe wife and I were in the black civic infront of you, with 900hp.
I just didn't want to show it off to you at the time. Nice car BTW! What drop do you have on it currently?

Spooted a WW VIII in Mentor about 20 times in the past two weeks. Saw you tonight driving around with a gray RX-8. Also, always see you at the old Ford dealership on Mentor Ave. on the weekends
