Props to English Racing

So, took the EVO to Lucas and he put in a manual boost control and tuned it...all I can say is damn. Damn. I thought it was fast before. Evo's are really cool when you actually turn the turbo on!

Anyway, thanks to Lucas! Total bill was like $175, and that included the mbc and two tunes. Lucas said he thought maybe 40-50 hp more, which would put me at 303-313 at the wheels based on my pre-tune dyno. Can't wait for next dyno day to see.

So lets see...guy who had it before me spent about $2-2500 in mods and got about 20 hp. I spend 1/10 and get twice as much. Sweet! On the other hand, I did have to buy new tires at 15k miles.

Thanks to everyone here who pointed me to ER!

Lucas is pretty much the man when it comes to 4G63s.

15K isnt bad for a set of stock Advans with a factory alignment. I would HIGHLY recommend that you get it aligned at a reputable shop when you get new tires.
