umm not sure I've heard of too many mbc's fail or go bad

many go with a mbc because it is simple and easy to work with

ebc's can be a pita to set up and the extra features aren't worth four times the price of a mbc

Do only self-tuners have widebands? When is the right time to get a wideband? I know the main use is to view A/F ratios, which helps tuning. What other reason is there for me to get one?

Also, I know people recommend Zeitronix. What makes them better than AEM or Innovate XD-16 & LC1 Wideband?

Besides getting a O2 sensor bung on the downpipe, is there anything else I would need to modify for the installation? Is there any wire splicing needed for the ECU?

im planning the route my evo will take and a quick question.

I want to get the basic tune but i wanna do bolt ons as well.

how many bolt ons can i have b4 i need another tune

mods as of now: intake, downpipe, exhaust, intercooler plumbing, etc. simple stuff like that

trust me dude they are {thumbup}

hey bro great info , i have a jdm 9 and i want to get into mid 11's as cheap and efficient as possible please list me mods thanks bro ...

thanks good thread

i have a question do you think turbo timer is worth the money

if you get a simple cheap one it can't hurt

I have one and if I beat on my car and didn't get a chance to let it cool down a lot while driving I let it run...if I granny'ed it to work in the morning I just shut it down

the reality is regardless you should drive out of boost for the last few minutes of your journey to help cool everything down and not spin the turbo as much

you can buy some that are built in your alarm. i think compustar has one.

i am a new member, i am buying my EVO as soon as my car sells and this has helped me like you cant imagine. i been doing some reseach, wathcing videos, and didnt know what some things were. after reading this, i kno. this is the car for me, and i know what my goals are for now and what i want done once i get this BEAST. thanks for your time and this awesome post.

Very enjoyable read. I am very know to the EVO community, plan on getting one this spring, and this helped me out a lot. I don't plan on modding mine very much as i want to use it as a DD as well, but some of the mods are very interesting.

does replacing the stock plastic intake pipe really affect engine idling? I thought it was the open element filters that cause the idling issues. I was planning to get a steel hard pipe from Dejon or PPI and still keep the stock airbox.

the stock intake pipe is a flexible rubber/plastic...switching to a steel pipe will make your MAF sensor readings bounce around which is what causes an erratic idle

Thanks for the listing. Nice to have it all detailed in one place. Wish I would have come across this a year ago :)

great write up, but i searched for some sort of guide that explains the different turbos and there intended uses, but could not find it, is there such a post or is one needed?
