Ordered some parts from Buschur Racing in Ohio. Pretty basic stuff starting out with..

Turboback exhaust, catless
Cone filter kit
manual boost controller
30-0-30 boost guage and steering column pod
::: (factory boost gauge reads bar and doesnt go high enough)
and a base flash.


I'll be looking at roughly 330awhp up from around 240-250, which the IX's usually run base. I'll know for sure just what gains were made when I go in to get tuned. Yay.

 

30-0-30 30 vac 0 30 boost?

wow, 80ish horsepower withfree'd up piping and a flash. those evo's take well to mods!

 

yes to the gauge question. 30 vac to 30psi.

The IX's can hit 300awhp with just a custom tune and a manual boost controller set to ~22psi. It's absolutely disgusting how much potential these cars have.

 

Heh, all the more fun for u to bring that potential out. Still, i'm amazed at the estimated results of the upgrades,

 

Yah they come from the factory so conservatively. I was really thinking about buying one but the interior/dash is just absolute junk. I still do think they're one of the best looking cars though!

Make sure to post up some dyno sheets once you get it all finished!

 

The spartan interior is easily forgotten when you drive the car

 

I like the Evo's, however the added cost of having a stock turbo is too much for me. I'd rather take a car with a good 2.4 or 2.5L motor, and put a turbo on it, avoiding the cost of the insurance.
