Yup, officially totaled. The appraiser said he was over $20K in damages when he decided to call it a total loss. I was hoping Rusty would have been able to swing by and swap the intercooler and turbo out so it could go to a good home, but I think he was a little busy last week.
I've got a Chevy CC 1500 for my rental, and I really like how much room it has when hauling the kids. I really hate parking a truck so I quickly ruled out a truck, don't care if that makes me sound like a woman. But, if USAA gives me around $25K for the Evo and I can talk the dealer down a few thousand, I'll end up buying an Audi Q5 for the wife and driving her Forrester Not sure how I fell for that..... Since we are in the middle of buying a house I need to keep whatever new loan I get around the same monthly payment as the IX, so if USAA ends up low balling me then I'll end up with a X.

If any of you are interested. I ordered some of the somewhat old school registered EvoM stickers (pictures below) I'll have a few extra. If you're interested let me know, price is $8 per each sticker. Helps make up for the insane shipping (nearly $30) -> via UPS I had to pay. Again will only have 2-3 extras, so let me know quickly.

X mr's are nice but have they made any progress for the getrag tranny upgrades? I talked w/shep a few months back bout upgrades and was told the clutch packs were the only option at this point. Know there's a sticky about mr tranny failures. Guess once you reach certain torque limits you're stuck. Stick w/a gsr in my opinion. As far as the audi goes, try and convince you're wife you need a rs5, baddass car.
I hit up a friend of mine,he knows John Shwartz the owner of Perfectionist so i'll go and see if i can get a killer deal through him but i'll keep Kreative in mind, thanks Alex.

Can anybody help me out on that in the meantime? I'm overboosting even with low WGDC. I have the Grimspeed EBCS, 4 bar MAP Sensor, STM intake with MAF, full 3" turboback with straight pipe, Muse LIC & UICP and ETS 3.5" intercooler. It was fine during the summer, but when it started to get cold, car started to overboost, especially on 4th & 5th gears, and sometimes in 3rd. I've read the Merlin's Guide to Ecuflash and the following posts:

On the mrfred thread, I did everything he mentioned as aaplied to my rom (88590015), and to Evoscan. I will post a log as soon as I can, since I was having issues with Evoscan.

Yeah I've heard a lot of good things, but I went with the Grimspeed EBCS route (without even installing the Hallman). Still trying to figure out how to control the overboost (rookie self tuner) until I get a chance/enough time, which I don't pretty much have now, to take it to somebody that can really work on it (sucks to live in Fort Greely/Delta Junction area).

With the grimspeed you really need to zero your WGDC tables in ECUFLASH and then first make sure you are hitting your spring pressure (depending on what turbo you have etc) and then slowly ramp the WGDC up until your hitting your targets and not overboosting. Also make sure your compensation tables are zero'd as well. Its not hard although a little more complex than a MBC.

I'll pm you as soon as I can resolve my evoscan issue. Maybe you can help with that as well. Never had an issue until now.

email or pm me your phone number and we can talk it out. Whats wrong won't flash? Check you battery, evos are notorious for not wanting to flash if the battery is just a little weak.
