Tell me about your Stock turbo setups (also green and red setups)
After going through many setups, including 50 trim, 35r, stock turbo with 10.5, and a couple of IX turbo setups, ive parted the car out, and now wanting to build again. Im going to have to say out of all the setups i have listed i LOVED the IX setup. Problem is the car has never been fully tuned to its capabilities. Ive had turbotrix, dynoflash, safc-2, and 4WS do tuning. Turbotrix didnt like, Dynoflash sucked ***, safc-2 worked, and Tamer did a great job and is very helpful. He took a lot of time tuning and adjusting stuff on maps we did, and thought everything was fine. Well after going to the track pulling 1.760fts which is respectable, and never trapping above 110, besides the 35r which i trapped 118 on 22psi i think im giving up on the mail in/email tunes. just been a very very frustrating road. I see guys running amazing times, and mail/email tunes working great but, I think i would rather take it have it tuned on a dyno and go that route this time. To take nothing away from Tamer (4WS) hes a great guy and awesome to work with, and not to mention some of the cars he has tuned are simply amazing. With the new setup im staying stock turbo, and full bolt on. My signature is my last setup i had and liked it a lot just thought i was going to get out of the car but changed my mind. Cam wise i have had hks 264/272 and hks 280/280. With this being said I do not plan on tearing into the motor besides doing cams, and i do not plan on doing valve springs, this car will not rev past 8k. So with this being said please list your mods you have pros and cons of the setup, and also dyno numbers if available, which doesnt mean a lot to me, because usually its all just a number. Some of the things im interested in here are the following
Turbo
Cams
intake
LICP
Boost controller
UICP
Again please stock turbo setups only, Green and red turbos i would also like to see. This car wil be ran on pump gas 93 oct and 22-25 psi daily. Please list who made the parts. This will all be on an 05 as well. Thanks!

What are your goals? No offense but you sound like the type that will just never be happy, or perhaps just not content to roll with what you got. With that being said, I say keep the IX turbo and install an Aquamist HFS-1 setup, jdm map sensor, gm bcs, and use the ecu to control boost. Your setup is very similar to mine, I even have an 05 SSL, but its black . Alky and more boost will give your car the most giggly fun midrange torque that will make you smile every day, but with the above components, you can use Tephra v5 mapswitching and turn it off and run lower boost for a nice, more tame setup (if the mood ever strikes you).
Here's a link to a vid of my mapswitching setup, with vid and more info:

Here's a link to the power my car currently puts down, and mod list:

The best advice I can give is to make a goal and shoot for it. Your whole post is about going through all these setups, but I never hear any mention of any type of goal. What are you doing? Road racing? Drag? Just DD/Street? Have fun with the car. Don't sell it. Life is short, have fun.
And again, find a tuner you're happy with. I use DB Performance here in MN, it's not that far of a drive Otherwise install a wideband and just tune it yourself!

mods in my sig also. I agree that Tamer is awesome to work with. My car feels better since he had his way with the ECU. I have not been to the track since I was retuned, but my best time before that was 12.1@112 1.8 60ft at englishtown stock clutch. From what people have told me the fun factor on a maxed out IX turbo setup can be awesome. Talk to Tamer again and ask him about his black EVOIX when it was on a stock turbo setup with meth and 19s running 11.3 in the 120s with a full interior. thats a good goal to shoot for.full bolt ons plus 500 give or take on a meth kit. and you have a fast car

I would do a red dude. It has a GT3076 wheel built into the 9 turbo. Amazing! People are putting down ridiculous numbers with this piece. I will probably go this route when I buy another Evo.
