Hey all, so some of you know i am currently living in NZ. Well while im here i am picking up some parts and getting everything ready for when i return home. Here is the list of things im getting and planning on doing. First maintance: New turbo (mines blown, thinking 20g) ^ with that ported o2 and a evo3 exhaust mani Check timing (maybe a new belt) ^ If thats the case, im doing a new headgasket Change oil New Tranny cooler New spark plugs New battery Flush radiator Also im going to be doing a little weight reduction. Custom rear panel and floor, and half the seats removed. Now im not totally sure what i want to tune with, i was thinking ecm but i think ill just go with a safc now. I wont be doing any crazy tuning, but we will see. I plan on bumping the base fuel pressure on the car from 43 to about 50-55psi. Thus allowing me to run about 20psi boost safely. I have been reading a lot and found you can run 450s at 60-63 fuel pressure and be 100% and they will flow the same as 550s. So i dont want to run 100% duty cycle so i was thinking of 50-55psi. Extra goodies: Aem Wideband AFPR Metal intake Palm logger 3" downpipe 3" cutout after downpipe (side exit exhaust) Suspension inserts Safc 2 Thats the list... here is the car as she sits at the moment. I was also thinking of adding some vents to the front bumper and mocking it up a little. What do you think? (And yes i was bored at work and took a pen to color my car in, easiest way cuz i didn't want to free hand it at the time)

So on my way to hitting my goal. Just bought a Evo 3 16g, ported and clipped. It also comes with a evo 3 exhaust housing. Thing is going to be mean.

Well....the build is slow but getting there. Had a few set backs like the HG blowing, so i built the head a bit and its running now. Cash is low however.
Currently has a ported 20g and ported o2 housing. Exhaust is the next thing on the list. Should have in about a month (prob 2 months though)
