Impressive!

My new Evo (2013) looks just like yours, same options, only white.

I of course had an upgrade path in my head well before purchasing...you're making me reconsider.

Any concerns about running E85 long-term?

Also, I though an intake was more or less a cosmetic/aural upgrade, and no real gains are be had unless doubling stock hp (or thereabouts) was the goal. You obviously think otherwise...thoughts?

I'm thinking MHI turbo, associated piping, port/polish manifold, fuel accessories, and I should be set.

Not here in California, I've been running my Evo 8 on purely E85 for 4+ years with no issues and ran it on my RA Sportback for two years. See my thread on that here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/e8...years-e85.html

Yea I tend to agree but I want to test it out and see what happens. Plus, there is always a chance of upgrading the turbo in my future. ;)

I might end up back with a CBRD BBX Lite. That thing is just awesome on E85 for a street car. I *loved* it on my RA sportback.

Congratulations

Golf R sounds nice, but Evo is Evo

Got like a charcoal grey evo

Power looks great. Must admit that I'm very impressed with the gains from only a test pipe (and E85 and a tune). I'd love to see the pre- and post-turbine pressures for stock and the current setup.

I'm kinda drooling over the new HKS 8262 turbo for the 10. Wish they would make one for the 8/9.

Let us know how we can help-

Yea it's a pretty good kick in the pants. Looks and sounds stock too. :)

Me too but I'm not putting pressure sensors in any time soon. ;) One thing to note however is I'm keeping the boost down with all the stock flow parts. At no point am I using 100% WGDC yet.

If I upgrade the turbo, it will probably be the CBRD BBX Lite like I had on my RA Sportback. It's a great street turbo on E85.

Great to see your threads popping up again. I'm a big fan. {thumbup}

Sidenote-- You'll pick up more with a full downpipe than with an intake. Looking forward to your steps.

Excited to see what you can do with the tuning. I am amazed at your fuel pump/injectors on your previous Evo with E85.

Numbers are fantastic for the amount of mods involved. Looks like fun :)

Installing the AEM intake this weekend.

Just ordered a catback.

I'll be sure to get data for all.... :)

Great work!

Awesome simple build!!! I'm also a big fan.

Could you measure the ID of the AEM and OEM MAF pipe? I'm just curious. I've read the stock MAF housing in 68.39mm (about 2.692") ID.
