its not, works perfect. but it will eventually go now that i'm making more torque. i really dont have any more mod plans for the evo anytime soon. i am very happy with the car as it stands now, and we haven't even tuned her yet and turned up the boost! im just saying the clutch will probably be the next thing i do beyond routine maintenance (altho i guess that could be counted as routine maintenance), and i dont expect to have to do that for quite a while.

dont really need and FMIC. In fact i am still unsure of any gains persay on a stock turbo running conservative boost levels (<24). It looks hawt though. I am really just trying to build up supporting mods for the red

Need:
FMIC - undecided
Intake - Perrin
Clutch - Spec twin (p-trim)

totally agree turco. i think my plan is *eventually* upgrade the clutch when mine is closer to death (which will obviously be sooner now that im making quite a bit more torque).

*maybe* someday i will goto a red + supporting mods (fmic, injectors, etc), but for me this is something that would not be in the foreseeable future. i would not do this until i had a new daily driver and the evo was strictly a fun/weekend car.

i do plan to do a few more little things (remove clutch pill & do the front motor mount) and i will do a walboro if turco suggests it.

otherwise i plan to just enjoy my car as she is. i think i am going to be super happy with her once turco massages my ecu

So I was bored...so I decided to take the Ralli Art for a test drive. Def a fun lil car. Kinda suprised actually. Def does not feel like an X obviously..but deff nimble and quick.

And oh ya...that whole automatic tranny thing really is kinda cool

Now back to twidling my thumbs...

Walbro is never a bad idea. I know with my original tune i was running low on FP duty cycle @ 320ft/lbs. I know it tends to max out around 350 so i guess that makes sense. I would imagine your car would be in that area so you may want to purchase one. Were you there the day i installed mine, what a PITA lol.

Pill and mount we can do at the same time. The clutch line however...

Guess that means I live kinda close to you too. I'm in Billerica. Good to see more ppl up north. Maybe we can eventually get some of those other busters to come up this way
