I cant wait to fire it up and get it tuned. I am havint Tom remote tune the car. We were still in the middle of a pumpgas tune on the green when I swapped everything over, so IM gonna continue working with him on it. The .63 exhaust my choke the turbo out some. Thats the disadvantage with it pieced together with the ams kit. I hope since I wont be running anything over mid 30s in boost, it wont choke it out too bad.
No Prob Man! I hear ya on that. If I did a motor swap im sure there will be some foul language coming out of my mouth

35ish PSI on the .63 exhaust shouldnt choke it up that much. You will be amazed the difference in power and especially on top end with this new setup. GL man

I am hoping so. I know modding the evo costs money, but I did it so fast in such little time, I am sick of spending money at this point haha.

This should put a smile on my face for a good while.

These cars are money pits lol. I hear ya on that. Im hoping the beginning of the season goes smoothly and no big problems. Should be good.

You will have a big smile on your face when the car is rippin. I remember when i went from the stock turbo to a 35R. Def a big change, you will be happy!

Im still undecided on whether to go with a br dp kit or the walbro 400. I have no plans for going e85, so Im leaning towards the walbro 400. That should be plenty on pumpgas, I would think. Then get a meth kit if I need some more.

Car looks great. Similar setup to mine. I run right around 38 psi on pump and meth with my .63 hot side. So you should be ok around 30psi.

Go double pumper and don't look back great build man!

Very clean car , and a great build thus far. Ever consider swapping exhaust housing's to a .82
you already have a 2.3l engine so the top end will be greater in reaching your goal. With a good cam youll exceed that goal!

Yea, I am gonna see what the .63 housing first. If i get to where I want, or am happy with the car, I wont worry about it. Otherwise, I have looked into getting the atp .82 housing that still retains the 5bolt exhaust housing.

Nice build. I like your attention to detail and the color choice for the valve cover and the brembo calipers.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Got my lower intercooler pipe mocked up and cut. Just got to get it welded today and everything will be ready to fire up!

If i was you man i would go with the BR DP. Even if your not going with E85 you will always know you will have enough fuel. Plus in the future if you change your mind you will have the pumps to do it. I am still going to be running the Double pumper this year and there has been no signs of me running out. Def up to you man, thats just my 02
