What do you think should be next?

Hey guys I've been searching around trying to decided what should be the next step for my car. I already have intake, exhaust, MR BOV, tuned and boost set at 21 PSI. What do you guys think would be the next step? I was thinking along the lines of LICP first. I have a 2003 evo 8. Thanks

LICP would be a good choice. I'd say get a CBRD BBK turbo to put on it

Cams for just raw power. LICP will give better responce. FMIC if you plan on any HPDE's. o2 housing/o2 dump, whichever. More boost.

The 02 housing, hotside, and LICP I listed will give you more HP for the money over some upper IC pipes and intercooler. Dpending on what brands you go with, all three together will be cheaper than a intercooler and some bling bling pipes up top.

The stock intercooler will be the last thing I upgrade after I'm done with the normal bolt ons. It works just fine with the stock turbo IMO.

Thanks for the responses. Very helpful. Have any of you guys done the installs yourselves for the 02 housing and hotside? I've seen the write-ups for them and was just curious if it was a novice install or should I get an expert to do it.

I had a shop do my 02 and hotside on my old EVO. I could probably do it, but since I don't have the tools I really couldn't do it if I tried. It was worth the money having someone else do it to me.

Any suggestions on o2 housing and 10.5 hotside that are good and aren't extremely expensive?

o2 hosing isnt to hard to do. took me about 3 hours taking my time and doing it right. just make sure you pull your radiator out and pull down your down pipe. next spray some pb blaster on the o2 bolts and your good. be careful not to break them, if the socket isnt moving spray more pb blaster then continue, relativly easy thou, just take your time and put the radio on haha

It's pretty much mandatory for all Evo VIII's.

When i read your mod list i was surprised i didn't see it. The sky is the limit from where you go from here. Do you have a Boost Controller?? are you tuned on a pill? how much power are you currently laying down?

More info will be helpful.
