No one wants a $60k evo with high monthly payments, get out now and buy a 9.

It couldn't be worse people they gave it to, the guys from Espec are such jerkoffs. They show the worst overinflated numbers ever and act like no one can tune as well as Urkel and that everyone elses car is slower...great.

Overinflated? Maybe that's why they chose them! lol
But seriously, a guy would think they would want their newest turbo tested by a more reputable shop like AWD Motorsports, Cobb, or AMS...

Exactly, I wouldn't care at all about those shops, they are great shops. The place they gave it to is such a hack job shop and seriously biggest darshes ever. I will never hear the end of this in PM's. Your tuner can't tune...we make more power on pump than you do on E85...blah blah blah. sigh. |

Tell him to eat shit then, why talk to him about stuff like that when they're obviously oblivious to what should happen in a tune, and that people don't fall for their stupid numbers. |

Yeah, they claim to get 490whp on an FP Red on pump gas. 30psi on pump? Motor-blowing tunes to be sure.

Feel free to show me some sheets, then. I haven't seen any legit Evo tuners do it. |

Buschur does it all the time. I can't say I recommend it, but yea. I ran 28 on my BBK setup pretty reliably though. If the setup/turbo can handle it, and you feel like pushing it, go for it. But yea, who knows.

Buschur has more than their share of blown motors from pushing their luck. Sometimes they blow shit up just to find the limits. That's their prerogative given that they build engines for profit.
Your second sentence is what's relevant to me. Would GST, AMS, or Shane run 30psi on pump? |

Feel free to search sites other than EVO X bullshit. Turbo cars have been around for a while and so has the tuning.
*Edit* the almighty scheides has spoken, maybe u will realize the troof now!! |
