Got $900 to spend
Well its time to get something for my evo,it currently has cams and a really ****ty exhaust,well the downpipe is aftermarket but from then on its a really ****ty custom one(i bought the car with this stuff on here)So now im looking to but some more stuff.I need your guys opinon on what i should get

This is stuff i plan on getting sooner or later
ETS 5857 turbo kit
ETS downpipeback exhaust
ETS UICP
ETS intercooler
IM getting a ETS intake for free.

Should i just buy the ets exhaust now or just save my money and get the turbo kit?

ppl usually start from the back towards the front, so exhaust first then do the turbo.


after he gets the turbo, don't he need a less restrictive exhaust?

He's got a exhaust already so why waste $$$ on another one.

How about supporting mods? Turbo kit isn't going to do squat without supporting mods.

naaa you should get your parts ported

intake manifold
throttle body

you said you have cams already which is good. personally i would save up and just get the turbokit out the way now while you have some nice cash saved up. most of the time if you have a nice chunk of change you should just go ahead and get that expensive part now not saying you have to install it now but get it out the way while funds are availble.

well how ****ty is the exhaust? is it restrictive? does it have alot of bends? is it a tru 3"? are they mandrel bends? Rockman has a point since you have a good chunk of cash saved up then i would probably save up a little more for the turbo. but i would think of getting the exhaust depending on how ****ty yours truly is.

You should save for the turbo because the ETS Kits are sweet.
