Help me spend some Christmas cash

Guys, whats up, I currently have a few bolt on mods on my RS ( Invidia G200 Cat-back, APS BOV, Blitz drop in filter). I looking at running catless with an Ultimate Racing test pipe and also getting an LS downpipe. Two things... do you think I will see about 20 whp gains over the current set up? And will this need a tune too?

Boost Controller should be one of the very 1st mods you do on the EVO IMO. Also a downpipe would be good.

um......... If your worried about warranty then stop modding now.

A boost controller does just that, controls the amount of boost your car will produce. It lets you kick it up a few PSI. Can make a world of difference.

dealers have no way of detecting a reflash. and a manual BOOST CONTROLLER does exactly what the name says.

But if you are asking what a MBC is, i strongly think you shoold NOT purchase one for the sake of your engine (and if you are worried abt warranty). Go with the basic and simple mods IMO

Warrtalon Stage 1 - Forge UNOS MBC/Forge RS DV/Boost Gauge
Warrtalon Stage 2 - DynoFlash/Megan TBE/Walbro255


Thats what Warrtalon is running per his sig. If he is running anything else I dont know but if you notice the basic mods of MBC, New BOV, Reflash, Turbo Back and fuel pump. He runs great numbers with that.
