I do have a boost controller and I did not mean to put tuned. My car is reflashed. Boost is at 21psi.

No I don't, sorry. I'm thinking it was around $100-$125.

I would do the LICP, 02, hotside, and then save for some cams and a custom tune.

i would definitely get tuned on a dyno to see where your power is. it's also a good way to measure your car among others to see if it is where it should be.

The list i provided earlier is good for over 350+awhp tuned on pump gas.

Ultimately it should evolve on what you are planning on doing with your car.

Good luck.

gauges, if you don't already have them, so you can see whats going on rather than relying on the factory idiot lights.

If I were to get the o2 housing and 10.5 hotside would I see a good amount of HP gain without getting a tune. I plan on eventually getting it tuned but I also wanted to know if it would be safe to drive around with the current reflash while I save some money to get the tune. Thanks

HKS 264/264 cams. Really wakes up the EVO VIII turbo.

Next, if you have access, would be an E85 upgrade -- injectors and tune.

whatever you choose, just remember that you will need to get re-tuned, so I would suggest u get ur cams, O2, Fuel Pump, injectors, I/C with piping put it all at once and retune.

I had my 02, hotside, and upgraded from 264's to 272's and never had my car retuned and it ran fine. Could it have gained more from a retune? Sure could, but I sold the car before I got around to it.

I've seen people say that a 02 is good for about 10-12hp and I've seen people say around 10 for the hotside. IMO though, if you have the slightest idea of maybe doing a EVO 9 turbo, I'd do just the 02 cause the EVO 9 turbo already has the 10.5.

I had them and couldn't really tell a difference on the car, but once I went with 272's there was a difference. 264's were barely noticable in my car. Besides, there alot more cams on the market these days that outperform the HKS 264's and the 272's.

Thanks again guys. I'm thinking I'll just do 02 housing and 10.5 hotside then go with cams, injectors and tune. I'm installing a ETS lp2 on Monday so we'll see how that goes first.
