MBC
Autometer boost gauge
Autometer wideband A/F ratio gauge
Megan downpipe
Megan Turbo Manifold
O2 outlet
Greddy BOV
Testpipe
turbo timer
walbro 255 fp

i am in the process of getting a LICP. Does the LICP really make that big of difference other than quicker spool up? With the mods i have listed here and a good tune, can anyone estimate what i might end up with HP wise?
those mods are a good place to start.
what tuner to choose can be a touchy subject. obviously people will have different opinions based on their experiences, but this is just my 2 cents take it or leave it:

Ive had nothing but positive experiences with Buschur racing in wakeman ohio. some say he's a little pricey, but since you already have your parts picked up, that shouldnt be an issue.

Ive never done business with nate at tpg tuning, but i have heard excellent things about the guy, and may pay him a visit in the future.

hope that helped

What would you rather have...



A heavily modded evo 9 and just a beater car to drive with it.

Orr a bone stock evo 9 and a JDM RHD spec evo 4,5 or even an evo 6.5 tme ?

id take a modded 9, but those tommy makinen edition evos are extremely rare in the states so that would be something to factor into.

might have an opportunity to get one, just gotta come up with the cash(hence the possible part out)..

Maybe even a TME. the only thing is, if i get an old evo i will have to buy like a mirage totaled and use the vin so i can register the car here in the states. seems like a little bit of work, but sure would be unique to have a piece of Mitsubishi heritage... And, i have always wanted to be RHD!!!

I'd go with something that you will actually drive.

Go ahead with using that vin. The state would love to put that car in the impound lot.

Lord have mercy on all of us. Lets get back to things people don't desearve.

Look on the bright side. Then we can get it at auction, register it properly and have a nice car.

i don't think the state has anything to worry about.

they can't arrest you for lying through your teeth or else this ******* would already have the death penalty.

I did not change the bushings Trav. They looked to be in fine shape.
