once it stops raining I'll go take a few pics of the motor so y'all can see it. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get the silencer out of the exhaust. It's got a Tanabe Concept G Blue and it looks like the dude rivited the silencer in there????

the silencers come with 2 rivets.... I see a big FMIC and exhaust so my guess would be the thing is flashed. it would be very hard to run that thing without fuel cut. does it have a boost gauge? how high is it running? what else do you have dont to it?

it has the FMIC, looks like equal length headers, o2 housing, downpipe, catback exhaust (looks like only 1 rivet, how do i get that out?) and boost controller, the boost gauge says it's holding at 25psi under full throttle, I dont have ANY idea if there is anything else, my friend is on his way over to help me look, because he's an Evo nut and used to have one. Any help would be nice
Thanks,

i would think with these mods you listed that this car must have a turbo upgrade. Because why would someone upgrade to a tubular manifold, ported o2 housing, downpipe, and not get a turbo

I really could not tell you, lol. The best way would be let me know when the next MA meet is and you can check it out for your self, but I'm thinking that the boost gauge is reading off, I could see 20 but 25psi?

Tell us what type of boost gaue you have. the Defi gauge reads 3-4 PSI off and the stock gauge reads in bars is not all that accurate either
