Connecticut Evos
pulled the trigger on that turbo about 3 mins after i got off the phone with you silkey.
Now do you have any of theses?
- aftermarket O2 housing
- Aftermarket UICP
- Maybe a mini battery depending on UCIP
- Catch Can
- If you have any of the stock couplers from your stock IC piping. Im looking for a specific one as well. If you look at your STOCK UICP the coupler that is at the closest end to you and right in front of the radiator fan shroud I need that one. My mesh is coming apart do it rubbing on the fan shroud. pissed.
Let me know bro!

Where in CT Are you? Swift Performance in Norwich can give it a good look, and tell you how the car looks..
ethan, i have a few of those for you. i have an O2 housing, piping, should have the couplers you need and maybe some other stuff. let me get a good look at the stuff this weekend and ll get back to you on it. i have your number, so ill just call you or something.
oh, and yes, the intercooler piping i have had a mini battery beside it, so it should fit. i need to see if i still have the piping laying around though. i cant remember if i sold it or not. :-\
you are going to have to make a drive just about anywhere you go. I personally have to go down to the middle of long island for my work at Top Level Performance. You need to realize that buying this car isnt just a look under the hood and a thumbs up. If you are serious about this and it is truly "seriously modded" then it is worth the time that it takes to get everything done correctly. Also, if he is your friend like you say, then he wont mind going with you to get it looked at. Thats just my two cents.... but what do i know. 
I'm looking for a "good" shop that specializes in Evo's hopefully within about 45min of east hartford or enfield, just to make it more convienent for my friend as he is giving me a REALLY good deal
oh well it looks like its either goin to EFI or ECS
anyone have experience with XX, I've heard alot of mixed things in the past but I hear its under new management
here is a basic run down of what it has

I hear ya about the drive, and yeah I want more than just someone to look under the hood, I can do that.

sry to hear about that redwing about ur car. so pathetic when things like this happen! this happen to me. luckyy enough nothing was stolen i think maybe my ipod was but i didnt care. i couldnt belive they didnt steal my defi boost gauge out of all things.. but that really pissed me off when that happen.
I have a Defi gauge set too. I was in shock that they didn't take those, they're the first thing I see when I get in the car...

yeah, the car doesn't seem to extreme quite yet. easily could become that way though!
i didnt realize you lived all the way up in enfield. thats gonna be quite a haul for any of the good shops around here. good shops arent all over the place, so you will have to make a drive no matter what. I'm not sure what all is in mass, but you might want to check there. just remember what i said. when you are deling with a car like this, it is wise of you to take the extra hour drive and go to a shop that will give you the basic run down of the ins and outs of what you are buying. the last thing you want is to buy a car you know absolutely NOTHING about. from the sounds of it, it is a decent car with some decent upgrades in it.

Yeah I'm thinking right now its either EFI (about 1-1.5 hours) or DSG (about 2 hours)
really this is dual purpose I want them to look at the car and then whenever I do upgrades I'll take it back to them for a tune, or if I have issues with the car I can take it to em
and under 1 hour tow>2 hour tow
but hey thats the way it is
thanks for the help guys, I'll update ya\post whenever I get the car checked out

Sorry to hear about the random acts of vandalism...having been a recipient, it definitely sucks.
On a largely unrelated note:
It is time for me to pull the Evo out of hibernation and try my hand at AutoX. As part of the large maintenance bill I plan to incur in the next couple weeks, I want to have my very stock IX MR tuned. I recognize there is a limited audience that checks into this thread, but I would estimate that you are the best lot to have opinions on CT performance shops. In my own research I have decided that The Shop or EFI Logics would be the best places to have the tune and alignment performed. I have not heard of any recent bad experiences with either shop, most of the experiences I have come across have lead me to believe that EFI has a larger customer base (at least of Evos) and I know that The Shop is less expensive for the work I am looking to have performed.
Have any of you any reason for me to pick one shop over another? Most reviews (of both locations) I have read were related to moderately to heavily modified cars, not so much from the stock perspective. If you would feel more comfortable discussing experiences in the form of PM, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you much.
