Utah Evos
Well like I said 100 is not what your supposed to tq them at and don't be surpirsed if other ppl start chiming in the same thing, shops go by instructions or all data and nothing anywhere or on forums tells you 100
Put my Black ETS FMIC and EPM LICP on finally. Turbo winds up much easier. Is there a secret to getting the bumper back on without any gaps?
Removed worn upper bumper mesh, too - it was faded. Looks much better, especially w/the balck front mount. Removed the cooling panel on the hood too, looks sick, IMO.
Big cams, little turbo setup is finally taking flight, lol. All I have to do now is t belt, throw in cams, springs, retainers, valves, seats, guides, o2dump, URAD, 75mm TB, Intake Mani, Ex Mani, retune, you get the picture.
I'm leaning very heavily towards a ported BNIB Green or the Tomei right now. The Green would be much easier for me to get, but take longer - I could put it on my SEMA card. Tomei I'd have to come up with the cash, but it's cheaper and flows more and would get here sooner, I think.
What would you guys do?

It would be very interesting to see what the tomei does
if you went green route or a bbk or any other 9 based build at least you could send off your ix turbo to get some $$ knocked off..I say port whatever turbo you get on the hs 
a fp red would be sick of course
I think the problem comes in when the iron block and alum head expand at different rates and there has to be a little room to give somewhere. I would fear that your head might distort over time with that much torque, but yours is a good test case, so let's see what happens and let us know.
I just don't know where to put it and eventually I'll go with the the 3 gauge cluster above the a/c but I want in cf 
This isn't no pod
just velcro
For a wideband it would be sick to do the lancer spot (same size as the mr/rs mitsu gauges...40-42mm?)

45 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Normal for ARP is 80, Well you guys do what you want ill do as I want, thats the nice thing of doing it your self.
Yeah, I've never heard of them going that tight. I think recommended is like 45. The ARP suggested is even lower than stock if you use their included moly grease.

and on the Build thats sick what you are doing and as far as the turbo I would like to see someone with the Tomei since no one really has them. The Green everyone has around here 
JK but both are good turbos. I think Tomei > green right now. They are amazing on 2.3 I would also like to see what a FP Red would do on a 2.3 tho because thats what I wanted to try But if you need just a regular 35R I know someone that has one 
Biggest I would go on a street car thats kind of a DD would be a 37R I think there is a HTA 37R too 
Dude we where up till like 2:20 last night playing COD how did you wake up so early
I was up at 8:20 since my brother work me up 
+1 on my vote Yep thats what I have too or in the Center where the Radio goes
Not a fan of Pillar pods in Evos anyway 
I've had egt & boost on my steering column for a long time...I have a oil pressure that I've needed to get out of my dresser drawer for just as long I just don't know where to put it and eventually I'll go with the the 3 gauge cluster above the a/c but I want in cf

Wes that Is a cool mod that guy did to his Stock gauge cluster
I would like to do that too if I knew what I was doing
I hope you used L19's with that torque setting (they don't stretch) regular ARP head studs stretch. You are supposed to run the stud down hand tight the maybe a quarter turn past, maximum. Then install the washer and lube the nut, run the nut down, and torque to 90ft lbs.
