A local customer of ours is not a member of this site, but we thought we would share his writeup on our work on his 2006 Evo IX. Enjoy!

So I came up with a list:

* Forced Performance Red Turbo w/80mm housing. Ported & coated (upgraded oil lines)
* 25 PSI Wastegate Actuator
* Buschur Racing ported & coated stock Evo manifold.
* Shearers' new divorced O2 housing with W/G dump tube
* Kelford 272 Evo IX intake / exhaust cams
* Supertech dual valve springs & retainers
* PTE 850cc injectors
* New spark plugs
* Change out Oil with Amsoil 10w30
* Flush Transfer case and Transmission fluids with Amsoil
* Install ARP Headstuds


I scouted around and checked forums threads. I called and even showed up to a few locations for price quotes. Being that I was going to spend quite a bit, I wanted to be sure I was getting the bang for my buck right? The Shearer dump unit looked to be of high quality and other members with the unit had seen gains.

I was looking to buy a FPRed, but I didn't want to wait 3 months. I decided on the new 80mm housing, ported and coated turbo to move all of the air needed to make more power.

I brought the car to TTP as they had the best quote for labor and it's extremely close to my house. 10 miles to be exact. I figured since TTP had tuned my car exclusively, and Scott has always led me in the right direction for modifications and advise and I have always had a positive experience with the company.

Luis@TTP worked diligently on my car to get the massive amount of work done on the car over Thursday and Friday. Huge thanks to Luis for taking care of my car as if it was his own. Dual valve springs and retainers required a lot of work on his part and I am indebted to him for his attention to care and quality work on my Evo while at the shop. Thanks so much Luis!

Veronica@TTP kept me up to date on the status. With the excitement of upgrading, one can't be informed enough on the progress. Huge thanks to her for always keeping me in the loop on the status and calling around to many shops to try to help me locate a coupler on Friday. Thank you Veronica!

The last bit is the 80mm coupler. I would like to recommend to companies such as Forced Performance, to offer to customers what type of coupler they plan to need for the intake side as a checkout option before purchasing the turbo. Had it not been for this minute coupler, the car would probably have been tuned and running on a Friday. This is by no means a bash, but it would have helped as my car was done Friday, but sat until Tuesday night just for one coupler. Luckily Scott and TTP were able to find the reducer coupler online for me and assisted in getting this vital missing piece to the shop as quickly as possible overnight on their dime. The car was tuned Tuesday evening. I had requested the tuning be done in the later hours of the day so that I could be present. I also wanted my buddy to be able to get some video of the dyno action.

One last thanks to Mitsubishi for making such a great car and a great engine :thumbsup:

My goal was 460 before any pulls were done. After all tuning was complete the car put down 463 AWHP / 403 AWTQ. Damn close if you ask me! I believe the last dyno plot shown below shows 457AWHP / 393 AWTQ with higher smoothing factor. The car pulls very nicely and I'm extremely happy all these parts are working together for a great upgrade.

Not a bad way to spend $5k!!

Lastly is a nice video put together by a local Evo owner Brian (SHhhhhh). Some more footage will be taken this weekend and a compilation video made. This is simply the shots taken combined into one HD video. I want to thank Brian for coming out to the shop and film. He did such a great job with a few others, and I appreciate his work on this.

The car is making good power. That is all I know. Without a conclusive back to back test on the dyno, I cannot say for certain. According to the dynosheet, the power is climbing at 7500rpm, which I can't remember if that is normal or not on the red.

We don't tune a lot of pumpgas EvoReds, most are on methanol injection, E85 Ethanol, or some kind of racefuel as it is a 40psi turbo.

From what I have seen from other 93oct Red dyno sheets the power doesn't normally climb that steep towards 7500. Interesting... I wonder if the 25psi wastegate has anything to do with that as well.

Our o2 housing has shown LARGE spool up gains compared to a recirculated o2 housing with the Red.
