Evo 8's are incredible.


But back on topic. You can easily boost the stock turbo to 24-25psi if you have the proper fuel, tuning, and cooling setup. Otherwise you're wasting time.
you forgot clutch, because you do any mod to that car and the clutch will slip like ----, stock clutch blows major major ass. and have fun changing that clutch out, gotta drop the front crossmember

those clutches are funny - you do a good 5k launch while slipping the clutch and it will be toast in a matter of 4 times.

I have watched many people though run the stock clutch and still be ok.

my friends evo ran 12.8 with a different intercooler and exhaust with an mbc (holding at stock boost or 19 psi.. the boost bleeds off up top when they are stock)

another friends ran a 12.2 (he sucks at launching) and he has a intercooler, exhaust, mbc, cams and a clutch. running 24 psi. no tuning

expensive way to start out, imo. but they are fun to ride in modified, especially around the turns..

::)

if you like to handle like a boxcar on wheels. they can run a low twelve launching at 7k rpms and blowing that trans into 7k peices at the same time.

or you could buy a cobra and beat it at the drag strip and the road course

Is the Evo8 the newest one? I know a kid that has one that is stock faster. No wing, No radio, just faster and cheaper actually. 19psi stock I think. He's on like 22psi right now, but I guess alot of those crazy DSM peeps go to like low 30psi.

I saw one in a mag that was running near 30, but it was fully built with water injection and such
