RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

just curious to know what the stock boost on 05 evo8 is??? theres no boost gauge so I dont know.I cant find any info on this, all i can ever find is info with people that upgraded thier turbos and run 20+psi

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

03\04 evos stock run 19PSI till about 4500 then it tapers off to 16PSI
05 EVO stock run 20.5, but the BOV leaks so by redline your prob. back to about 17-18. first mods should be BOV Exhaust boost controller and TUNE then your car will surprise you.

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

i was thinking about that, but I just sold a car that I had ten grand invested in and sold it for the evo, I kinda figured I leave it stock. But the BOV might be in the budget. Small mods I might do but other than that, i wanna take advantage of the long warrenty we have. I blew the 5year warrenty on my last car the first year I owned it,lol.

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

I amstill under warrenty with all my mods... I got Injen Upper and lower IC pipes , Injen Intake, HKS SSQ BOV, MBC at 20-23PSI(depends on weather I run 93 or 103) Full 3in turbo back and an SAFCII tuned

I went to mitsu a few weeks ago to have them order me a new wing an calipers since warenty covers it and the paint was turning white and they didnt care about my mods

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

Well then at least I wont have to worry about anything then. Got a question, if I do purchase a BOV do I need to get a tune since it will be holding the full 20.5psi to redline instead of falling off at 4500rpms? Like I said im new to the evo and turbo stuff so I want to do things right.

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

no... but with a exhaust you would be best to tune it

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

Oh thats good then, as for the exhaust, I kinda like the quiet exhaust, my other car had no cats and it was too loud, when i drove on the highway i couldnt hear anything at 60mph and above. It sounded like a race car....well I built it for the track so I guess I cant complain, but after getting this car I like it quiet, plus when i drive with the windows down I can hear the turbo spool up pretty good, its actually alot louder than my buddies srt4, you could barley hear the turbo spool up.

I'm a bit late but congrats on the purchace. You won't regret it. Just don't launch too much....if you're tempted to then slip or ride out the clutch a lil. Thats way better than dropping it. On the other hand that launch limiter kicks in at 5k so you should be ok.

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

the wing will be warrantable.
if you have any engine failure, it wont be.

RE: just got an 05 evo, got questions.....
 

they didnt VOID the warrenty.. I understand the wing is not power train but they still give you the letter for voiding the warrenty and that didnot happen. So if it were to have an engine problem I would put it back to stock anyway and bring it in.
