Evo Christmas Presents

Hey All,

I want to get my twin brother who just bought a WW 06 Evo RS something for christmas but Im not sure what to get him. Obviously something for his car but not something outrageously expensive. B/c he doesn't have a cd player i thought about getting him the factory cd player but i would also like to consider some more options. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Hope you all have awesome holidays.

-Ryan

does it have any mods, a cheap present would be a MBC or a boost gauge.

Listing any mods he has would help narrow down the list.

Edit: just saw your post. Would he do install work himself if you bought him parts? If so, LICP (ETS L92 seems popular around here and isn't very pricey) would give good gains and not be too expensive. Otherwise, the boost controller/gauge would be better.

well. cone intake filter with MAF adopter is under 50 dollars, Boost controller is around 98 or less shipped. those are good options. if u want to get him a stock cd player, i have one laying around for sale if u want it.

I will consider the lower pipe but i think he is ordering buschur parts soon and might have already ordered upper and lower pipes. Thank you all for the input

How about some maintenance items such as a jug of gear oil for his Transfer Case and Rear Diff or a good quality Air Gauge.

Check out the $100 thread, LOTS and LOTS of options for great gifts! If you can spend a little more, buy him an ebay exhaust!

Shifter bushings, clutch lines, window tint, a detail... etc. It all depends on what he likes and what he may have already ordered since you said he was on BR's site.

You would be better of picking up an after market cd player for about 100 bucks. Not that ugly stocker!
