Cool Finally Clean and new home
Well after about 4500 miles of cross country driving, major idle problems and just in general being pissed off at the Evo. I had her cleaned, waxed, polished and fixed up and she is finally at her new home. Just some quick pics I took today. I dont have any before pics as I was quite pissed at her for the past 2 months. Here is what she looks like currently. Comments and feedback welcome. UK badge will be on next week.














Some of my favorite pics from the build done by CBRD

Looks good. About the idle coming to a stop...not sure what type of BOV you have but I had the same problem and when I adjusted mine it went away. I currently run the turbosmart and I had to adjust it harder until it quit. Make small adjustments and test out each one. Took me all of 15 min and my idle/stopping problems went away.

I have the stock IX DV on right now. I think maybe its going bad. I have another one from my old Evo that will be here on thursday, gonna switch them out to see if that helps any. Thanks for advice!

Looks great.

You should change out the blue couplers in the engine bay to black.

Try changing out your ETS intake to something else. I had the same exact issues with my car when I had the intake and swapped it out and poof, went away
