Ya hey Jim how ya been man. The build turned out pretty good I guess but all depends who u talk to I guess . Makes ok HP and decent TQ for a 2.0 I suppose. Only downfall has been that I broke 2 Tcases buy that's not due to the quality of the build

I know there's alot of Buschur haters on here but ya I really can't say enuff good things about my experience with Daniel and David Buschur

Results are in my sig

blasphemy i tell you!

While I fully admit I am one of the ones you described as haters.....I cannot deny you have had some pretty good results there power wise and a nice setup from BR - I do hope you get it to the track just to lay down some trap speeds (even if you lightly launch it)....would be great to see what the car is capable of MPH wise.

maybe you should try and put a Jeep T Case in there...maybe Mike could fabricate something for you

I am working again finally..so time to get back to real cars to race again...the Miata was fun to toy with, but nothing compares to an EVO.

I'm up for heading to the car show.

Have to go with the Flyers Orange (or as close as I can get )

The wing is the Evolution GT-I in aluminum which is designed for average speeds under 120 mph. There is a support built under the trunk so it should be pretty solid.

Mike saw the car again and the horrific memories came flooding back ....

Crossing fingers that there are no more major horror shows to be had as it's pieced back together

I went to Mil.Spec... Thats the best one to go with, so I'm told. I haven't installed mine yet though. I did read that they offer an exchange program for enlarged throttle bodies as well... Yo can find it in the link

I can tell you who NOT to get them from.

Do not get them from STM tuned. They charged me $22.00 for a set and like $6.00 shipping. They came in a freaking post marked .75 cent envelope.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/6016619-post1.html

Milspec on the other hand charges $21.00 shipped and includes the TB gasket seal.

I suggest doing it through them... Oh, and they work great. INSTANT FIX

Drain it dan, my car sat last year with E in the tank till march.. idled like crap, and drove like pump gas with my E tune... Only had to get it to the shop though if you recall.

You cannot have that much in there right?

thankfully its cheap, and can be replaced for like $11-15

Mil.spec only.....

I have used some of the other brands and the milspec are the highest quality seals I have seen. I have them in my car now for over a year and still no TB leaks, another similar seal I tried only lasted 10k miles before i developed a leak again.

and they do have a TB porting option if want to go that route - imo if your doing that you might as well get the intake ported too, no sense in one without the other.

Hey guys here is what I am planning this year... I would appreciate some thoughts/recommendations as this isn't set in stone.

I am sticking with the stock turbo for now so I am looking for the mods with the best return.

I have Buschur coated/ported O2 housing ready to go on, and I was planning on sending my 10.5 HS housing to get the same done. I wasn't planning on coating/porting the exhaust manifold as I wasn't sure if it would make much difference. Also I plan to do ID1000 injectors, E85, UICP, and LICP.

Current setup that I am running:
HKS272 & Adjustable cam gears
ARP Studs
3in Turbo back (catless)
AMS Standard FMIC
Bolt on MAF
IX BOV
Walbro
GM 3port BCS & Evo X MAP Sensor for ECU boost
+1 Massive APC Sticker!

Thanks
