I bought my Evo about 3 months ago and am excited to document the build on here. I started off by taking it to English Racing:

They did the 90k maintenance
Installed a Walbro Fuel Pump
Installed a Boost Controller
Installed a lower intercooler pipe
and tuned it

The final numbers are:

Before tune:
240 hp
259 torque

After tune:
269 hp
287 torque

I plan on doing the following mods in the future:

AMS turbo back exhaust
Perrin Performance Intake
GSC Power Devision S1 Cams
AMS frontmount intercooler
Fortune Auto Coilovers
Advan Racing RGII Wheels

what is the plans for the car? add evo 9 turbo on to that list

Why f-22 raptor?

It is currently my DD. I am planning on turning it into my track car, maybe even rally cross

The EVO 8/9 has always made me thing about a fighter jet.

I know you havent put this on your list, but im pretty sure everyone will agree with me. Buy seat lowering brackets

I would also say add a ported evo9 turbo on the list. I loved my 9 turbo! Otherwise list looks good!

A local forum member hooked me up with a DC downpipe and Perrin Test Pipe. I drove down to English Racing for another tune. The Evo was missfiring. Within minutes Aaron diagnosed the problem, replaced the coils and wires and started tuning! I picked up 10whp for a total of 279whp and 298tq

are you still running the original transfer case?

wait wait wait... f-22? aren't you giving this poor car a little to much credit? aaron is good but he aint jesus... he can't turn 91oct to jet fuel... lets call it a 150 cessna build instead... sound good?

Yes its still running the original transfer case

Its a build, and my goals are to maximize the cars potential in speed and handling. The style of Evo 8s and 9s also remind me of fighter jets.

I do want to take flying lessons eventually, and am planning on trying both prop planes and helicopters.

how much boost are you running on right now with that tune ?

I see your from washinton, we have a facebook page called Northwest Evo come on board.

Just under 26lbs (Max Boost was recorded at 25.93 lbs)

New updates:

- SRS Catback Exhaust
- Front Slotted StopTech Rotors
- Front EBC Redstuff Pads
- Kumho Ecsta 4X tires
- Nokya Yellow Fog Lights
- LED interior/license plate LED lights

I took the Evo on an 800 mile road trip from Seattle Washington to Baker City Oregon and it did awesome!
