I have a 03 evo 8
i recently added hard piping for upper and lower intercooler a full greddy exhaust, ets intercooler and greddy BOV. I wana get it tuned so i can get some decent gains and still be a daily driver. Is there any other small things im missing before a base tune?
yes im a noob the more help the better

 

u need walbro fuel pump 255lph and boost controller.not sure about your bov,i would stick with metal deverter valve.

Are you in Salinas, CA? I'm from Monterey.

Back OT: I'd get a boost controller, 3 port, MBC or both. With that said I've tuned quite a few with basic mods like yours and the inj duty cycles are getting quite high on the stock inj. I'd get some bigger inj. Being in CA you may want to jump to the FIC 1100 along with the Walbro FP as you can switch to E85 with a tune without having to upgrade your fuel system (as long as you stay with the small turbo).

 

Definitely fuel pump, although I would go with a Deatschworks pump instead of Walbro as they're not as loud. Boost control if you want it. If you aren't going to bump the boost too high you'll be fine with your stock injectors and an upgraded fuel pump.

 

Yeah from Salinas, I was also looking into where to get a tune. I keep hearing fftech but its pretty far. I just bought the walbro fuel pump. After installing my intercooler my car idles bad n bogs out. So that's another main reason for the tune

 

I would check your clamps and couplings on your fmic. Was your car idling bad before you swapped the fmic? If your car was fine before you installed the fmic it should still be fine after, how does the car run, does it boost up the same ?

 

^ This. An intercooler won't affect idle/bogging.

 

255 fuel pump like everyone saying. And a afr gauge and if you don't already a boost gauge will help a lot. And I say get a boost controller cheap and a must in the future and now for the tune.
