Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

Zero to little downtime for you.

lol. My budget doesn't permit such antics anymore. I also had Grimmspeed port & coat this one so I've got some sunk costs.

I agree that it'd save a lot of time to not bother installing the stock turbo but that means I have to do the work in a place where the car can sit for a few weeks or whatever. I might broach the topic with Shawn...not sure if it's feasible to do it out in one of their pole barns or not.

Chad quoted me like $1285 for that bigger wheel one brand new.

And you didn't take the deal. I paid retail, $1750 or whatever it was.

I made out better though since I got to use my stock paperweight for the Black.

Sold the red for 1300 and the upgrade for the Black should be 1000 so i made 300 :) Which is basically what I probably would've had to sell the stock one at. So basically a straight trade for the Black. I did lose out on the porting and coating though. But can't win em all.

I 100% understand. Chad is pretty understanding too, maybe he has a way to make it work out for all of us.

meh, enough of that. I can't wait to post some pics of the surge tank setup! Definitely swinging by FB after work, whether they call me or not.

Surge tank ftw! Full Blown did a great job on this. They also cut me a really good deal in light of the challenges I've had. Much appreciated!

They recommended that I continue to run the double pumps into the surge tank and the Bosch 044 to the motor. They wired the Bosch as always on so the motor is getting a lot more fuel than it use to. I took it on an aggressive test drive and it worked perfectly. I had a fairly impressive part-throttle backfire once but that's to be expected with it being rich at lower rpms.

The setup could always be re-wired so that the Bosch is variable if it proves too difficult to tune for whatever reason.

^This.

Good luck man. I hope this works for u

Wow, two Walbro's and an 044

The second Walbro seems like overkill to me, but it is only on under boost. It probably won't hurt anything.

I agree, i doubt you need the 2nd one, but its in there, so whatever :)

Now you just need an intake!
