so on my 03 evo i have turboback exhaust, ACT extreme clutch, aem intake, boost contoller boosting at 20 psi, ams LICP, fuel pump and tune. It did 300 whp what should i do next i was told turbo and also told pistons+ head studs. what do yu guys think?

RE: next mod
 

pistons are good stock so dont waiste your money on them till 500+HP. head studs and Cams and another flash youll gain another 40WHP or so. ad a Buschur race core FMIC and up pipe and youll do pretty damn good

RE: next mod
 

hey emonz if i get the fmic, cams, and flash will that get me to 350 u think? also my friend thinks that injectors and fuel rail help a lot with stock turbo but i told him the stock injectors are fine for stock turbo. am i right? also do fmic's give a good amount of power off the stock turbo or isnt it much of a difference?

RE: next mod
 

dont listen to your friends lol. you dont need any fuel upgrade esspecially a fuel rail. I ran a turbo upgrade and 400HP and used the stock rail. your injectors are fine unill you get a bigger turbo at this point. Cams and a FMIC will get you 350WHP on the stock turbo.

If you want a little extra play with the turbo have that upgraded by buschur to a 20g-9 turbo or something then 400HP will be capible but youll need some injectors at that point

RE: next mod
 

would you say that the buschur racing FMIC is the best for stock turbo or would a turbo xs or other companysbe good too. also do i need upper ICP along with the intercooler or is the stock fine?and how many hours does it take for a shop to do cams? im trying to keep it under 2K.

RE: next mod
 

I would do the buschur race core cause it is the most proven. Cams you can do your self dude they are super easy. youll need a Tq bar and a 10 mm socket and I think either a 12 or 14mm. If you look up on EvoM a how to: install cams there will be a good write up to follow. TRUST me you should be able to do it. and save yourself the time and money having a shop do it the hardest part is the timing belt stuff

RE: next mod
 

There's been good write ups by AMS in the last 3 issues of Turbo magazine.

RE: next mod
 

so is the fmic core just the intercooler itself or is that with piping? otherwise i would need to get the piping besides correct? also with the cams would you recommend cam gears or is it a waist of money?

RE: next mod
 

cam gears are a waiste of money right now. Buschur is running stock cam gears on their 9 sec daily driver

RE: next mod
 

ok so i found cam install instructions on lancershop.com is that good or are there better ones. also i need an answer on the UICP if it is a good investment.
