Oregon Evo Owners: Anyone recognize this car?

Hey folks,

I just bought the car a few days ago and the Carmax report and a few items left in the glove box says the car was in Oregon. The reason I'm trying to find the previous owner is it has a pretty extensive list of mods. The dealer said they "thought" the previous owners name was "Sam". The racing harness bar had a "evolutionm.net" sticker on it. When I bought it the boost was set at 30psi on 91 octane. Seems pretty high to my novice mind. So, if anyone can point me to the previous owner or a forum screen name so I can read up on it I would appreciate it. Thanks!! - Rick

I would say a retune is in order.

It has a manuel boost controller and I have turned it down to 25psi. I'm just trying to figure out if it has a BBK turbo, cam, or anything else I don't know about. The thing is fast as hell and a good deal faster than a friend with some mods and a tune.

It was running in the thirties. Before I turned it down it was hitting around 32 pretty consistently. I spoke with James at Reese tuning and he informed me 25 is the max I should run 91 octane on.

Bump for anyone on the forum who may know the previous owner.

A good idea would be to email or call the guys at English Racing. They might have worked on the car/tuned it, and if so, would have a really good idea about the history.

I wonder if this was a wrecked car. The back seat isnt the stock seat, as it's an SE seat, but nothing else on the car is SE trim.

Good eye!

Mod list has been updated. I have picked out a few new aftermarket parts.
