So I'm kind of gunning for ~350whp on the stock 05 evo VIII turbo on pump gas. I do run alky injection, but I'm only running ~24psi so its really only used for a safeguard against bad gas (a lot of evo8 guys run 22.5 psi on pump gas, evo IX guys run almost 24!).
So, since this is my daily warrior, I am trying to keep it as reliable as possible. It has been tough, but I have yet to touch anything related to the turbo, or taking much apart.
This will end now.
But, I am only planning on taking it apart once, and doing it right!
Here's where I started, with ~305whp. My car has HKS 280's, a TBE with a high flow cat, a upgraded FMIC, and the SMC alky kit.
