Hey guys :D

God i hope im posting this in the right section :S

My Evo X GSR has had a good run its now on 3000km and i can no longer fight it I MUST MOD THE EVO!!!

My thoughts so far are a turbo back exhaust, Intake, and tune (i have seen some nice gains with these mods). Are there any other mods that might might provide a great $$$ to power ratio that you guys can recommend???

i am hoping for 300+whp

I live in Brisbane and would prefer to go get my car tuned in my area but if there are some respectable tuners out of QLD i will be willing to travel. I cant explain how important it is to me to find a good tuner. Someone i can trust my baby with i dont want to see her die young :(

I want to thank you guys in advance be kind on me if there is already a post like this im a complete forum noob haha

Cheers guys
Stoj

There's a guy called "whitenight" on these forums.
He knows all about mods, tho he likes to call them "accessories".
He can help you.... ;)

You can also check out Mercury Motorsports and Neil Lowe.

a free flow exhaust and a good tune is your best bang for buck, after that it starts getting expensive, like a better turbocharger, ect.

neil lowe is no longer operating. and theres mixed revues on mercury.

we can talk about it on sunday stoj if u wish or the day before @ the workshop day, lotsa modders there.

I achieved the results your looking for in my MR with the following

Turbo XS TBE
3 Port Boost controler
Drop in Air Filter
Tune

Your 2012 ECU may hold you back a little on this if it hasnt been cracked yet... I had the same problem on my 2010.

Yeah sleeper that's true we can discuss this weekend. When I meet up with you guys haha

@ ninjured what kind of results do you get from the short shifter does it get rid of that notchy as hell feeling haha

So slash are our ecu's different from each other? I had no idea so my 2012 model might be different to tune then lets say a 2010 model Mmm I must read up more before I start tuning

sure did was the only reason i got it in hope of smoother shifting. the first shift of the day is a bit notchy but after that its like butter. ive heard mixed reports from people though, not sure if they the full replacement cage as well. but for me its 99% better.
