To the OP, welcome to the group

I guess it depends on how you look at it. The car comes with a stock boost controller which is controlled by the ECU (and thus the tune). The stock boost limit tables have built in taper. Simply by changing those limits even bone stock you can run more boost particularly in the higher rpms.

If you don't consider the restrictor pill to be part of the stock BCS then you can also change out the stock pills (very popular before the 3 port really took off) which is another way to not install a 3rd party boost controller and still run more boost off the tune.

In any case OP give ER a call and see what they can do for you

 

Thanks for the info codgi! Yeah i will definately have to check out some exhausts at the next meet!

The srt-4's are pretty responsive to mods but the stock turbos are small so even getting 300 fwhp on the stock turbo is pushing it pretty hard. Now torque is a different storry I think i had like 340 ft-lbs of torque.

 

grats on the pickup. I drove mine from Cali as well! As far as staying stock, you'll like it for a bit and then you'll want more haha. That's how I felt anyways.

 

man up wit da exhaust. just stay away from the c-ghey & voltex stuff, and no magnesium blue wheels.

 

Welcome to the Evo Club! =)

 

You're funny

 

i dunno i like how blue mag wheels look on some cars

 

welcome.

nice evo.

 

There will be a series of articles coming out in Modified or D-Sport shortly that show exactly what each stage of mods are. For reference we had the highest horsepower stock Evo IX I have ever seen for the test at 266whp. Typically they are more in the 250 range, however this car picked up 8whp PEAK and a ton everywhere else as well as significant torque. That was stock with nothing more than a tune on a car that was already ahead of the game. There are other things that are gained at the same time, mileage, driveability, etc.

Every car is different though, so yours if left completely stock could gain more or less....wont know till its on a dyno. As far as parts, avoid Ebay for anything that has to do with the piping, intake, cams, exhaust, header/manifold, ignition, gauges, boost controller, etc.

Welcome... Other new guy to the forum.... Hopefully you paid a boat load more than I paid for mine as yours is in such nice condition!

 

Yeah looking foward to meeting you! Well my evo is definately not mint, it has a ding and touch up spot on the trunk etc... I am hoping she will treat me good though!

 

Thanks. I'm looking forward to meeting you and anybody else with an evo. Havent met anybody yet and dont see a meet that is accessable for some time.

Yours looks alot closer to mint than mine. I need to do ~20 hours of paint work and get a few parts installed just to make it run right (or safe).

 

what are you talking about?! ebay is f*%#ng awesome!



haha you all know im kidding right?

 

Ebay is awesome for selling used parts, or in the case of those that buy the Ebay special performance parts that seem so popular keeping me working. By that I mean selling the right parts later, fixing the problems with the ones I see, etc.

They are straight awesome for that...power not so much.

 

Not out of arguement sake.. What kind of fun can you really have from any pill and stock bcs. Even after we tuned my car and removed the pill there was no super noticable gains... Remove pill, install MBC and have fun....
