:twisted:

Hhaha just wanted to speel a little here.

My previous ride (97 Eclipse spyder) modded the crap out of it, both show and go.

Then I purchased my Evo 8 less than 2 months ago. Back in November 2003.

When I bought the Evo 8 I said to myself "holy $hit, this rides tight, I'm not going to mod it or touch it to mess it up"

now at 3500 miles right after my first oil change... I already had a BOV on it (not anymore just sold it), recently installed a HKS catback, K&N drop in filter and coming up this week (saturday) Works P2 reflash.

Crap, I tried to stop, but something was telling me to mod the Evo 8, i think its an addiction. :twisted:

hhaah glad to know other people feel the way i do. Not much of a mod, but just installed a boost gauge. feels a lot better watching the boost needle go up and down.

The boost guage is one of the first mods you should do, in my opinion.

I too am addicted. The only thing stopping me right now is money.. and well, mostly my wife.

Seriously though - once you install the first mod and feel the difference, it's hard to stop.

Go to Google and type in "19 psi in bars". Or "1.4 bar in psi". Presto!

:bow: Google knows all. All hail Google. :bow:

With your catback (and possibly downpipe) & P2, you'll love it even more !

I believe it is 14.5666 psi = 1 bar.. or something like that.

The first thing I bought was my boost guage (PSI). Besides the flash I got done this last weekend the only thing I left to install is my turbo timer.

I just can't have a car that is stock. I always have the put something on to make it a little different. Maybe its a Filipino thing.

It's not an addiction. It's an obsession. I did it through my 94 Saturn, then to my 92 Prelude Si, then to my 99 Eclipse GS-T, then to my 01 Mustang GT, and now starting on my Evo. When does it end! It's my love for the game. But the wifey says it's time have kids. so money spending on going faster is slowly fading away...............noooooooooooooo! LOL! :lol:

When you guys get your flash, give us some info on how the car ran before and after. Since you guys live in Sac. that's a hell of a drive to test out the car.

okie heres the quick before drive (cuz i'm getting my reflash this saturday)
Stock trim = can't remember how it feels
Stock + TurboXS blow off valve = car feels a bit stronger, seems to be holding the boost a bit better.
Stock - TurboXS blow off vavle + K&N drop in filter = Turbo feels spool louder and a tad bit slower at first before oil change, i hear the full spool at around 3300rpm to 3500rpm
Stock - TurboXS blowoff Valve+ K&N Filter + HKS Catback 3inch = Turbo spools faster at around 2800rpm, car feels stronger, and i've been hitting 20PSI when I floor it in 3rd, 4t, 5th gear. I think that the catback definetly helps a lot, i feel the top end pull a little bit more.

Now after this saturday, I'm hoping the car will pull in every gear and go crazy on my a$$. I will post up some after thoughts on the Works P2flash

yeah, kick some a$$, we smoked a WRX/(Sti look alike) last night, and first thing the guy says when he comes out of the car to Gilbert is "damn your car is fast"

ytsejam
01-27-2004, 11:20 PM
yeah, after the reflash, your top-end will pull stronger, so you don't have to shift early ;)
