IIRC it's around 11psi.

Chuck: My boost solenoid failed on the Evo. I hit 11 to 14 psi depending on the weather.

depending on if you tightened it or not 11-14lbs I've had friends who there's pulled off 14-17lbs now ?? maybe even a gauge off ? When mines running wastegate(failsafe or methkit off) it runs 1bar

I need a stock exhaust.

If any of you have one that you would be willing to part with, please send me a PM. I would like it with the cat as well.

The closer to Bountiful area the better for me, but I'll take what i can get.

thanks

Anyone know what the best spark plug for an evo with a flickerflash is? I don't know when to replace them but I have 50k now. I know the bpr7es and BPR7EIX are used by a lot of ppl, I just wanted to make sure.

New owner of an Evo X checking in, but I'm in Pocatello. Any references for the best tuning shops in SLC? I used to go to Streamline industries when I had the Audi, but have no idea where to start for the evo.

Bob: Ask Vesko, he knows everything Just kidding, had to plug that for one of the Vesko fanboys

Hey nsomniac, welcome. That's quite the drive for tuning your Audi. There are a lot of good choices here. COBB, of course. Competition Associates. Soild Autoworks. And Turbo Labs. Rallysport Direct is also down here, but I'm not sure how much they work on cars.

Cobb sucks for evos. I like the guys at solid. Rallysport has every subaru part yiu can imagine, but it'll take a week or two to get Evo parts.

It isn't MY fault all the Porsche owners on rennlist, rennspec AND 6speedonline (especially 6speedonline) are all *******s.

If I was as full of myself as they are, I wouldn't NEED a forum

I'm an Evo owner through and through. I just hate Mitsubishi and the **** they make. So I bought a non-turbo luxury model Evo, from a company that doesn't build things out of leftover playschool bits.

It is really funny, a lot of us left for other cars, or at least sold the Evo. And I'm the only one still posting.
