Give up. Make it all stock and sell it. You know you will have it all together and change your mind for the 1000th time and switch set ups.

W255's are tried and true but they are noisy; that's why I like the DW pumps so much (and my W400 for that matter)!
I dislike the dw65c because it barely outflows the stock x pump. The stock x pump is a solid performer and this just doesn't seem like its worth the money for the extra fuel. I don't have vendettas really, I guess I just distrust DW with their questionable quality control and they seem to not RnD as much as I would like to see a company do. (their injectors sucking all over the board have left a bad taste in my mouth) Also, Hughes ended up talking me into Depo, lol. Mainly because it just made sense with the AGP IC which seemed to be a solid choice and has a 3" outlet so the 3" LICP made sense.

I am not all for the AEM320, but in the future if I ever did go back to something bigger which I am going to try to avoid as I want to start working on the house a lot more, it would be big enough to keep a surge tank topped off.

I wouldn't bother coating the intake manifold; my coater down here talked me out of it. Do run a phenolic barrier though (I like the cheap white plastic one that doubles as a gasket rather than the orangish one that requires 2 OEM gaskets).
the DW65 won't work anyway as no I don't have an unmolested fuel pump, mine was heavily modded for the wally450 and I don't have a bunch of the stock shit that went in there.

As for the manifold, its done already, i have had that and my throttle body for months now. I already have the phenolic spacer (barrier) as well, have had that for years.

There is no "make it all stock" option on this car. It's past that. Frankly I'd rather sell it as is for a huge loss if anything so I don't have to use any money on it. I would spend stupid amounts of time trying to put it back to stock. Also, the smartest thing to do would've been to sell it last year when it had the big ass t4 kit on it because then I could get someone who thought that much power in a 4 cylinder was a good idea and fetch top dollar for it. Now I will probably only get a few thousand over what a stock one fetches.

But for now I want to drive it, so not going to sell it. Besides, it has to be running to sell it so if I get bored of it once its back together I will put it up for sale and move onto something more stock like.

Jeez, I didn't realize you parted so much of the damn thing. I still don't know why. LOL

Might as well cross ETS off any parts wish list ever then. They have as much RnD as something I made in my garage.

Yea, I sold a ton of shit. Full t4 turbo kit, fuel system and FMIC and pipes. That left the evo pretty bare.

I switched to something else besides ETS, Hughes and I talked I did keep their intake because i know that works though.
