EVO 9 MR, advice on my next few mods, and a few questions..
ok so i've had my IX for about 3-4 months.. have about 7k miles on it, and here are my current mods..
K&N drop in filter
T-bolt clamps for all intercooler piping
3" buschur downpipe
3" test pipe
3" custom catback with apexi muffler
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
CorSport Metal Shifter Cable Bushings
so.. i know its prolly time to get a boost controller.. so i have been looking into a AEM tru-boost, and was then planning to get tuned.. are there any other things i should do before then? i was looking at o2 housings, jet coated exhaust manifold, and 1 step colder spark plugs (probably not needed yet).. your opinions welcome as long as they are positive!! thanks!

Your list of mods and what your doing sounds good. I think the plugs are not needed but everything else your doing right. Seems like you hit that search button a few time

boost controller for sure. i'd personally recommend an electronic controller. then get a tune quick because you'll want to be turning up the boost---from inside the car if you go electronic.

ya i want an electronic but cant afford to spend a gajillion bux on one so i figured the AEM tru-boost was a good choice.. seems to have good reviews from all the posts i've read.. holds boost level well..

well im not poor.. i can afford to get an EBC.. just not like a $600 one.. will the AEM suffice? sounds like it would be a good idea to get the EBC, UEGO, and tune within the next couple of weeks..

well the reason i want an EBC is because this car is my DD and i want to have like an around town low boost setting and a high boost setting for the track.. the only MBC i found that would achieve this i believe was a 2 stage turboXS MBC for like $180.. so i figured i would do it right the first time... does the AEM allow for 2 boost settings?

well my co-worker (has same exact car) has a EBC with 2 boost settings similar to what i want to do and he has the low boost setting for daily driving so its really conservative on gas and when he wants to go fast he bumps up the boost. this would really help me as i cant seem to keep my foot off the gas.. we both autoX our cars...

Even with all that, you still don't need an EBC, because if you get the Forge UNOS MBC for $85, it has clicks on the knob so that you know where you are. For instance, your pump gas boost of 22psi could be 10 clicks, and your race gas boost of 26psi could be 28 clicks. It takes just a few seconds to change between them, which is less time than it takes to change the octane.
