In my opinion buschur is the way to go. They will make sure the car is done right w/out sacrificing longevity AND their prices arent out to rape you. In addition of the big two vendors ( AMS and buschur ) theyre the only ones that sell and tune FP turbos. AMS turbo kits will cost you 3k+ and dont come with supporting mods. An FP turbo will cost you under 2k and bolts right up to the car with no modification needed. Buschur also sells the bushwacker tranny kit which is good for 800 awhp and only costs $850. When it comes to quality at an amazing price you cant beat buschur.

 

Thx. I will keep that in mind and check out their site.

 

i would love a white evo X MR

 

Its been a few months since I bought the Evo so I thought I'd do a little update incase anyone was curious. So far, the car has been pretty good to me. I changed all the fluids about a week or so after buying it, rotated tires and all that other jazz. I have had a few little gremlins here and there but nothing too major. The biggest thing so far was a leaking drive shaft seal that was covered under warranty.

At this point, the car has a TurboXS turbo back dual exit exhaust, AMS intake, MAP UICP and a Cobb stage 2 Off The Shelf tune. I recently purchased a set of Enkei Kojin wheels and some Progress springs. I really like the setup. I plan to have the wheels powder coated eventually b/c the blue/black combo is super common and I can't stand having the same stuff as everyone.

I've done the first 2 SCCA Solo events this year. I have a lot learn about this car but it has been a fun learning experience. I think the car's weight really needs to be counteracted with some higher grip tires like Star Specs or Rivals. I just don't have the cash yet for them so I'm rocking some BFG KDWs I got off a buddy for a steal.

Here are some pictures and a video or two of some of my runs...

good wheel choice

 

Frogs, you had a zfr right? how does the evo feel in comparison? other than the obvious launch advantage. what kind of power do these make with intake and turbo back?

 

I made 340whp 325 tq with intake, turbo back and a dyno tune

 

Hi. No, I had a BNR2871 on E85. Evo is WAY slower than my Cobalt was as far as straight line stuff goes. That's only bc I don't have much done to my Evo at all. Just intake, exhaust and a can tune. I think the Cobalt was putting down around 430whp as it dyno'd 408 on 24.5psi and I drove it on 28psi. Hauled ass.

Another shot of the Evo...
