Evo 6.5 is the same as a plastic Evo 7 or 8 one.Originally Posted by Ryan
The evo 8 MR and 9 MR are metal. I may upgrade to one of those later.
Yeah, Airtreks go well (when they don't have boost leaks).

A bit of an update. I kind of got busy with other things, new job, wedding, renovating the house etc, so never really got anywhere with my car until recently.
Not long after this last post, the guy tuning my car fell ill and disappeared off the face of the planet (sadly, I believe he was diagnosed with cancer and died). So my car spent the last 2 years or so running a base tuning map and was under boosting, amongst other issues.
A few months ago I finally got it dyno tuned again. For some reason, the boost couldn't be set on the ECU so I installed a EBC with Hi and Low seetings. After tuning it was Dynoed at 161Kw at the wheels at 14.9 PSI (peak boost was 17 PSI) running 95 RON. I run the Low boost setting of 1.0 bar for around town driving.
I have since had the exhaust done 3" Dump pipe back. The ambient temp was 29 deg. when it went back on the dyno after doing the exhaust and I was getting massive heat soak on the interwarmer so the best power run we mananged was still 161Kw, although at lower boost. Desptie the dyno results, it definitely has more power and torque across the rev range since getting the exhaust done, but until I can get a clean run on the dyno, I can only guess how much. Extra bottom end torque is very noticable.
They are weird looking dyno graphs with peak torque at 2500rpm falling slowly right to redline.
I have a set of 560cc injectors to go in (factory are 450cc) and a 19T turbo compressor and I will finally do the FMIC intercooler conversion I planned a couple of years ago. The 19T compressor will flow quite a bit more air and is far more efficient than the stock 15T, so I would expect some decent gains in peak power and torque throughout the the rev range, once I finally get round to installing it.
