Do you need a manual boost controller if you get a tune? I'm aiming for 330whp. So far I have a K&N drop in, AMS turboback with test pipe and ETS LP2 to be installed. I am on the fence about getting a cone filter and fuel pump since my goals are 330. I plan on having Jestr tune my car once the TBE and LP2 are on. Do you guys think I need to add a cone filter and fuel pump for my target power goals? Also do I need a manual boost controller or can boost be controlled by the ECU tune?Thanks
it was the second mod i made
Have you considered a cheaper E-Bay exhaust?

before you start upgrading first get used to the power and handling of the evo. then read around the forums.
here is a good starting point.

as you can see, after 5 yrs... i'm cranking up my posts so i can post classifieds but very good point...
I'm always trying to get owners to play/learn the capabilities of their cars BEFORE they mod..
I've spent thousands and if i could do it all over again
I would have very few mods on my car...
compared to the days and days of track time or what ever turns you on
for owning it in the first place
