50Trim + METH = OMG

I picked up the Evo from AMS last week after it was there a few days. I had an appointment to get Meth Kit installed & then AMS came up with the 35R & 50Trim group buy. Anyhow after alot of research & talking with Eric I went for the 50Trim. This was by far one of the best things Ive ever done. I havent been to the track yet but the car feels OMG Crotch Rocket FAST. The killer is that its hard to stay out of boost & Im using alot of Meth! Hah, its worth every penny though. I asked for a conservative tune & it put down 477awhp & 437torque @ 27psi. The spool up in my IX is the same with the 50Trim as it was with the stock turbo & it seems to hit full boost around 3500-3700rpms. Im a happy camper!!! If you ever thought about a bigger turbo but wasnt sure GET THE 50Trim & Meth too.

Other mods:
Jun 264 Exhaust Cam, ARP Studs, Walboro Fuel Pump, 780 Injectors, AMS Fuel Rail, AMS FMIC & upper & lower piping, AMS TBE w/test pipe, & alot of other non performance stuff..
