It will have to be next year before I do any turbo upgrades etc. This year is just exhaust, intake, and maybe meth injection. If/when I find some extra money lying around I'll do IC pipes and a boost controller. I'm still under warranty technically and I think if I really kick its *** I get a new transmission, its been acting up,....popping out of first when cold etc.
Although I talked to stanley and they won't be doing the warranty work for mitsu after this month (july) I need to find out who's picking it up.
I have the tactrix and will purchase the wideband with the downpipe. Thinking of going Zeitronix, have had both AEM and Innovate and to be honest was never really that impressed with either.

Get the boost controller before the meth kit. No sense running meth if you cant turn up the boost. Also, I would look into ECU controlled boost, looks very promising.
I would like to change cams next year so you should buy my Kelford 272s....
I'm in for a group tune next year if we can get enough people to commit, we could bring up English Racing or Mellon.

Mellon Tuning or Jestr if you guys bring someone up. If i still got the evo i'm in for sure. Not quite sure how the maf can be maxxed out on only 22psi on 90 octane? That's a first for me, haha...If you guys do the group tune, make sure you guys do it at the track. I'm not going to be blasting down c street again, haha.
Whats wrong w/your Kelfords? Don't tell me you're afraid they're going to break, haha. Gsc's are a good choice so is the grimspeed ebc. Was looking into it but ended up w/a great deal on the greddy ebc.
Num (evil8) hasn't gotten a good run in w/his AMS setup as far as i know. I'll be getting some details soon from his mechanic when i stop by to get my crap checked over, haha.

ran a 13.17 @ 105mph today with a 1.97 60ft..........got out to the track a little late and only got 2 runs before they shut it down early due to rain.
My goal was a 13.1 and I consider that achieved. Not bad for a evo with just a K&N Panel filter and all season tires on a wet track.
Also I tried two different tunes while I was out there. My DD tune which is basically the stock tune with timing pulled enough so it doesn't knock on our crap gas. That was the first run, it was a 13.78 @ 98mph, my 60ft was 2.05, shifting a 7k. After that run they said they were probably going to shut down so I loaded up my work in progress running more timing and leaner afrs. Also tweaked the boost control a bit but was only able to get a little more out of it being the stock bleed controller and all.
The tweaked map was the fast run and I was shifting at 7500. I'm actually very impressed at the improvement of 7/10ths and 7mph with just the mods to the map. I know my driving didn't affect much because both times I was shifting very well. In fact the fast map maybe hurt my launch a bit because I spun much more in 1st and going into 2nd than I did on the first run (possible track condition also).
I ran ~1/3 or so can of torco on the fast map (had put it in before I raced so that was in there on both runs) No knock during the run however while coming back to town I logged 1 - 2 counts here and there but nothing beyond that. Personally I blame Shell, I noticed I would get a couple more counts than usually with my DD map after I filled up at the Shell on Dimond instead of a Chevron which I normally do.
