Yea I have been seeing a lot more around lately too... but I am never in mine


Bambi - nope not on island... most people wait until AMS or Mellon make their tuning trips to get retuned. AMS has an authorized dealer here (Leaf Racing) but they dont tune, only sell and install AMS parts

My cousin and i suspects that maybe the turbo might be an upgraded stock frame turbo since it pulls harder that my friends iX se with more internals & bolt-ons than mine. Idk but i hope to meet up with other evo owners for some feedback and where i should start.

You're kidding?! Jeez...that sucks. How often do they do their tuning trips? I guess I'm really glad I at least have an AP.

ams has already came once, he's coming in july, and then again in like november. it's not terrible but you'll have to be like the rest of us and stockpile parts behind your couch till they come out then pull long days installing haha. or i do know some guys who have tuned through sonic, or leaf but best bet is to wait for chris from AMS.

That was the one posted on CL for like $26k? I dont know who previously owned that one, sorry. Where to start always depends on what you want to do with the car.

E-tune is always an option to hold you over as well

Can a tune with full exhaust and intake get you close to 340 - 360WHP?

Color?
Know some people, but they always ask about the color first

Unless you got a hold of some E-85...340-360 to the wheels with just those mods is very unlikely

I remember tuning my Evo while I lived in CA with full exhaust/intake/test pipe and barely scratch 301 to the ground..

A fuel pump/o2 housing/LICP/FMIC got me to the numbers I'm at now... Good luck

Doubtful. My mods with a custom tune only got 330 whp. And that's on 93 octane. I am scared to see the drop once I retune for 91.

I've got SF intake, full turboback exhaust (with coated downpipe and HFC), plus IC piping, and boost control solenoid.
