Thanks to Evolution Dynamics and NTEC!

My 1st post on evolutionm.

Thanks to Andrew and Justin for inviting me to the Dyno meet last Sunday.

Thanks to Matthew for referring me to Evolution Dynamics.

Big Thanks! to Richard and Kevin for fixing my Evo. You guys are awesome!

Matthew and Andrew -- it wasn't a boost leak, which is good news. The wastegate actuator arm was loose.

Richard -- sorry about the undertray.

Honestly tho, I couldn't tell the power gain if I didn't glance at the boost gauge. I think riding in Kevin's car threw my butt-dyno waaay off. My car feels so sluggish and Civic-y.

In any case, I'm still very happy you guys fixed my car to what it should have been from the factory. Now I have a good baseline to start modding. I appreciate all the input. I have my upgrade path down now -- time to start adding more power!

And Mackie, good to meet you dude. Oh and you're welcome -- you've now seen what a STOCK Evo looks like. And I hope you get your Evo running again soon.

There was another dude there last night. Didn't catch your name tho. Good to meet you.

On a side note, EVERYONE seems to have an iPhone. Sheesh.

Im iphone envious (is that the right word?)... I want one soooooo freaking bad but Im not willing to transfer my service to AT&T... hahaha... hears hoping Apple works a deal with verizon at the end of the year

Congrats on the car.... you can do some very inexpensive mods and have a fast evo really fast, its all in what you want from the car, so really spend some time thinking about what you want your car for Its better, since you have a stock car at the moment to develop a plan from the start.

That's alright, undertrays are always so much fun!

I am glad you are happy with the work. Like Denver said, do your research and figure out exactly how you want to drive the car. The forum (and NTEC) has all sorts of information out there, let alone Evolution Dynamics.

Good luck and hope to see you at some upcoming NTEC events. Be sure to check out the ECR open track day. The instructors out there are good and you will learn a lot, and hopefully have some fun in the process.

iPhones rock!

I don't know about "easy". Kevin and Richard had to take off stuff before getting to the arm. In any case, I'm really happy it's fixed now.

Sounds like a plan. I have your number.

It boosts a bit more quickly and max boost is finally 1.3 Bar. Used to just top out at 1.0. But that's all top-end so I don't really notice it (or use it) around town as I hardly leave Plano anymore.

But after a ride in Kevin's car, my car is SLOOOWWW. His car is a freaking Saturn V rocket.
