New Evo owner - need some guidance
Hi
I recently bought a 2003 evo 8. The car has some modifications and has a tune. Can someone in the know take a look at current tune and tell me if there is anything that jumps out at them that should be addressed? I'm planning on taking it to a dyno soon. This car is becoming a "hot topic" at home with the wife so dyno is going to be little bit.
I'm in the Hudson Valley, NY. Any reccomended reputable dyno/tune shops in the area are welcomed.
I just did the intake and intercooler piping, cat delete and exhaust. Since, the car has been kinda funky to drive. it feels like a dog from start to about 4,000rpm, Its bucky when I start out and in between gears. It also feels like its being held back in terms of power. I'm probably not describing these things properly but that's how it feels to me.
Also, is there an option to include a 2-step when tuning? or is that a separate thing to install?
Current mods that I know of
BC 272 Cams
Wahlbro 255 Fuel pump
Stock injectors
10.5 hotside
HKS Downpipe
Cat delete 3" test pipe
DC Sports 3" full exhaust
ETS Lower intercooler pipe
Injen intake and piping still have MAF
Forge BOV recirculating
Manual boost controller set at 20psi currently
koyorad radiator
Any information anyone can provide or share I totally appreciate.
Thanks!

I know you just put a new exhaust system on it, but seeing that you're from NYS I would highly recommend putting the stock exhaust back on it, getting it inspected, and then modding/tuning the car. That is, unless you don't intend on having it inspected. Good luck. Sounds to me like the car needs a proper tune.
