I was speaking in terms of making 350whp what is needed and what is not. Head studs are not a waste of money if you are going to push over 25psi. If you are not then you can live with out them.

what I am saying is for the prices of the supposed products listed you are going to have the cheapest possible setup...and one that I wouldnt put on my own car. if I am spending close to 30K on a new car I wouldnt just put on the parts that "get the job done" but ones that are made well enough to last and have a good company backing them. Maybe I am a special case.

Not at all I have much more money in my car then that. Bottom line it's making the most amount of power for cheap.
It's kinda of getto but it works

[QUOTE=EVOTEXAS.
you don't need headstuds and from what I hear, the ARPs aren't that good anyways. you're just regurgitating what you hear online, nothing more. try thinking on your own sometime.

ARPs are ok. why do you think they are not good.

Id also like to know where your getting hks 272 cams for $525 shipped.
and the clutch is a good point, without that making the most power for the least $ is rather pointless as you can't use it.

turboback---u can go chep on this
fuel pump ----warlboro...its cheap
intake -------you dont even need this one
ecu reflash ----this is highly debateable...lol
MBC-------cheap you dont need some big $$$EBC
Cams-----The cheapest ones available are HKS and they are decent.
So the logic about a 30k car doesnt make sense.
Yeah maybe if you put on some ghetto as ebay fuel pump that doesnt work after 5 min....but only idiots do that. The key is to know where you can skimp and where you cant
For example if you go with an ems...then yeah spend the $$ to get it tuned right or if you go bigger turbo kit dont get the ebay crap...get something solid that wont break or crack.

Back on topic, I'm really not sure people will want this FQ400 turbo for a daily driver... there are other options current, and around the corner, that will probably drive much nicer.

Yeah...there are quite a few turbocharger options available from vendors and manufacturers here in the usa. Evo owners have options for lower budget "only what you need" kits as well as high end hand fabricated big $ stuff.
I doubt the FP400's turbocharger is really any better than the options available here for less $.

Zeus, no offense taken, we all have our own pieces of information that we believe and those which we take with a grain of salt.
Personally, I believe my tuner when they have the fastest EVO in the country and they do not have faith in the ARPs. When my philosophy matches up with theirs in other instances, I tend to respect their word regarding things with which I am not experienced.
To those of you who think that a 1500 dollar exhaust is going to last longer, be better supported, be made of better quality, or whatever than my 600 dollar exhaust, believe what you will. Enjoy my taillights though because my extra 900 dollars is in my motor.
