I have Evos in all the time that grind into 3rd.
They are prone to bent intake valves, so if you have a way to check that... They sometime leak water into the cabin at a harness grommet and then your wiring gets fucked. Schiedes knows all about it.

Glad to know that a bolt on quick spooling turbo can make that kind of power. Hell I remember I got scared when you drove my car after its first tune and it was making 450. haha
Thanks for all the other tips Shane! How are you and Mara liking your evo?

That's not too bad in maintenance at all for 130k. I'll keep you evo in mind if I do end up parting out my 2g.
Keep em coming guys. I'm kinda really thinking about parting out the 2g.
