1. mitsu is a hell of a lot more particular about modding their cars especially the evo, they will void your warranty the first chance they get
2. expect to pay more than your skittle, they start around 30k

What would you guys consider to be the best "bang for the buck" upgrades for the evo's?

I think John felt his full turbo-back was the best bang for the buck, but he did pick it up for 50 bucks overall .

There is a big debate between the 5-speed tranny and the 6-speed. If you think about it the transmissions have to be in a similar size housing so that means more gears, the smaller they are. Well you think the smaller, the easier to break. I have done alot of research and this is the biggest debate amoung evo owners. As of right now i don't think they have found them breaking more, but that is of right now.

As far as upgrades i would check into some of the companies that have the fastest evos such as turbo trix, automotosports, and pruven performance. I have called all these places asked all kinds of questions about which parts they had success out of and everything. I suggest going about it in the same manner. I did my research so when i know what to do when i get mine.

best bang for you buck upgrades would be turboback exhaust, fuel pump, mbc and a good tune..
the stock bov will hold if you dont turn your boost above 21psi.
also.. hallman mbc is the way to go. the turboxs one i had did not hold 22psi..

Fuel pump is a waste of money unless you are already running mid 12s.

With a turbo back, good tune and an mbc if you are not running 12s you need to stop modding the car till you learn how to drive. Plain and simple.

haha true. i need to go to the track myself.
although many bought the fuel pump as insurance being only 90bux or so.
in the whole scheme of things.. $90 isnt that much for insurance.. but then again there have been cases of the walbro's going bad..
