I'm thinking about getting this for a little more power.  What do you guys think?  I have a megan o2 housing already, but this would be an external o2 dump.  Is it worth it or should I just save for a bigger turbo?  Map is also willing to give me 5% off.

Return car to stock.  Sell Evo.  Sell Mods.  Buy Supra.  Tongue

I wish I could do that.  If I could do that I would have bought a 700+whp supra by now, but the wife likes the evo.  Since I'm still the original owner I will keep it that way till I die! Grin

How much more power will you get from this pipe?  $300 is a pretty big chunk to throw at this.  It would make a significant contribution to the "Bigger turbo" fund.

That's what I was thinking too.  I think the most I will gain is probably 5whp.  That's kind of why I'm debating to get it.  I want more power, but I don't feel like waiting.

I like your car. Consistent 11's, little lag, good traction. Not many people have a reliable 11 second car. A supra would be fun on the highway but anywhere else it would take too long to spool to really enjoy it. What about a 700+ whp Evo?

Plans for the car is a 2.4l block with a 35r.  I should get plenty of torque and fun with that.  A 1000whp supra would be nice, but there's not enough room on the highway to unleash all that power.  But no doubt I will get a 1000+whp supra if I win the lottery.   Grin  I plan to try road racing and maybe some autocross, so the evo will be a nice car for that.

You will probably get 10whp from new spark plugs.... Grin
Save for the turbo upgrade.
1000+whp Supra on the freeway + dirt on the road= Dead Supra
I would not mind having one but it's so easy and temping to to get in trouble fast too.

That's a very nice supra.  I would love to own it or even take it for a test drive.  Hmmm.... some day.

If I ever put that turbo on the evo I know I won't hit boost till 6k or so...that's major lag.
