Hey, got a question, would anyone be willing to help me put on an 02 housing and turbo-back on Saturday? I'm so sick of it being in my basement. I don't have a garage and I am willing to pay in any case of beer or bottle of liquor (under $50)of choice. Thanks.
Edit: If saturday is not an option, i'm good for Sunday as well...sort of wanted to get it on before the meet, but oh well.

My friends IX made 315whp on the mustang dyno at cbrd with a catback, mbc, drop-in and self tuned.
So you can def. gain power from a good tune and the TBE
couple of notes about the exhaust install.
as stated PB blaster is your best friend. you're probably going to need at least two cans.
get an o2 sensor socket from pep boys. they're like 7 bucks.
get some exhaust sealant, just in case you need to fix any small leaks.
get some anti seize for when you put the o2 sensors back in.
make sure you have a couple good breaker bars handy.
it's very helpful to be able to get the whole car up at once. i used ramps in the front and jackstands in the back.
if you want to unbolt the downpipe from the o2 housing (while under the car) you can use several socket extensions to avoid having to remove the under tray. i think we had to use 5 or 6 4" extensions. saves you about 45 minutes taking the undertray off and putting it back on.
for the turbo back exhaust, you will be looking at about 3.5 - 4 hours on the install. i have heard the o2 housing can be an additional 4 hours itself.

The only reason I advised for the manifold now , is that you will find yourself doing some of that work 2 times if you dont do the manifold now. But it can obviously be done at anytime it dosnt have to be done.
What you have is a great start , get your mods on and get it tuned right now. This will get you some gratification for a little while.

.If your offer on the help for the install is still good, lemme know when a good Sunday would be for you. Thanks again for all the help and advice

To all of us local evo owners.
I will install parts on evos for a smaller fee than a garage. On top of this, you can even watch if you must
I bet everyone can guess who is itching for money to finish a project.

took myself and two friends 4 hours to do. there was some f*cking around involved. a little beer drinking, and one run to get tools we didn't have, you could probably do it in 2.5 - 3 if you were busting *****. most of the time was spent trying to undo rusty bolts and pry out the o2 sensor with a 3 foot long breaker bar.
car only had like 1500 miles on it when i did it, i was surprised the bolts where such a pain in the ***.
I agree with dan......I would just do the turbo-back now and just get it tuned. Leave the O2 housing when you can do the manifold and everything at once, will save you a huge headache.

I can't believe I'm gonna run these brand new wheels in the winter. Oh well, I'll just clean them a lot. 
So I ordered 245/45/17 Blizzaks for my snows and tire rack calls and says that I should get 235s but I said no I have a 9in wide wheel and he goes ok that make sense then but by our books the 245s might rub so this is a final sale...blah blah
245s on a 17x9 will not rub will it? I don't think so...everyone does it?

Sorry 310whp
I was on the CBRD mustang dyno sat. Just did 4 quick power pulls how I drive it everyday. I noticed that my max power was at 0 counts of knock. 3 counts lost me 10whp on the one run. I ended up with 310whp/315tq still rich, still conservative on my tune. Mods are catback on evo 9, boost tapering to 16psi, and pump gas.
315whp on cbrd's dyno is pretty impressive with so little mods. I had a tbe, ebc,
works drop in, ams licp, and mellon flash and did 290whp on Chad's dyno.
I'm hoping after my next round of mods and a tune from chad to bump that
to the 330whp mark and alot more power under the curve. Time well tell.

On a side note, what about this weather? Gotta love the evo's handling capabilities in the snow.

Just taking a quick look, it looks like the 245 is 25.7 in dia. That is alittle big. 25.5 is about max. Your better off with a 255 -40. they are only 25.1.
