What mods next????

I've got a 2004 Evo 8 with a few simple mods but im looking to do some more to get some more power. Mods i have are intake, full exhaust, custom BOV from CBRD, and a tune.

What are some relatively cheap mods to get some hp out of my evo?

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Cheap mods you ask?
Try part outs!

You still need some more basic mods
Fmic
Upper (get mini battery one) and lower ic pipes
Fuel pump
Head studs
Cams, springs, retainers??

Does O2 housing count as part of the exhaust?

Yea the o2 housing is part of the exhaust but if your just have a turbo back exhaust the o2 housing is usually overlooked.

Thumbs up mods

agree with mr. evo mr. you could also consider port jobs on your 02 housing, turbo IM and TB. You could switch to E-85 and get a new tune.

A used set of cams... A 65mm or 70mm throttle body aint to bad... Bout the same price.
Ported exhaust mani aint to much... Or hell i ran an ebay 50 dollar mani for a year before it cracked.
