just get a catback to finish off your exhaust system. this will actually yield postive noticeable results.

an intercooler is simply an anti-knock component and wont yield any higher horsepower gains than 3-5hp IF that. you might even notice a descrease in engine response. its really only necessary if you plan to get a bigger turbo(ie: gt3076 or 35r etc. etc.)

i have a DC sports downpipe w/ test pipe and an HKS catback and i also cut the resonator out and put a 3" staright pipe. sounds alot better IMO

Check Ebay. Or even a megan racing cat-back... both cheap compared to most. As long as it doenst have alot of bends and its 3", they all work pretty much the same. Check-out buschur exhausts, they sound good without sounding too ricey.

Do a turbo back now... don't mod it then have to do it again... Straight pipe with a magnaflow exhaust and throw a nice tip on it...

A complete exhaust system will net you more power in the long run. We can ship to Mexico for a very good price. We build our own 3.0" to 4.0" exhaust system for the evolution or if your interested in another brand let me know!

I would definitely upgrade the intercooler in the future though!

Thanks!

thats what I have. custom made 3 " tbe with only 1 bend from under the engine all the way to the tip. As straight as it can be with magnaflow muffler with rolled tip on it. Looks clean and it sounds good...

I would say do the intercooler , The AMS street is a great choice , your turbo will spool up much faster and you wont get a heat soaked intercooler on hot days . i live in las vegas so temps kill turbo performance out here
