So Mike21, I would say go with a mail-in because you'll be adding parts for a while and the reflashes are free. No, you won't produce as much power but you will save money on retunes. Once you have your Evo to the setup you desire for an extended period of time then get a custom road tune.

Somewhere down the road it would also be advisable to get logging software such as MitsuLogger or EvoScan to see if you have any knock regardless if it's a custom road tune or mail-in tune.

Thanks for all the info guys, I'll be able to make a decision as far as what route I'll take when it comes to the ECU. I already ordered my exhaust system, so now I'm getting ready to order my 255lph fuel pump. would you guys recomend cams?

If you're running 91 octane most tuners say you won't see much of an increase in power with cams. If you're running higher than 91 octane then getting cams would definitely be a wise modification. However, get a set of cams that are going to fit your turbo. If you are sticking with the stock turbo, EvoGreen, and possibly a 50 trim I would recommend staying under 270 degrees of duration unless you're going to run race gas everyday. If you plan on going to a higher than a 50 trim I would recommend a 272 to 280 duration cam. In general, make sure the cams match the size of your turbo.....research....research. As far as what company to get your cams from there are quite a few to choose from. I went with the GSC S1 cams.

yeah I got plans for the EvoGreen turbo in the near future. I was originally looking at the 272 cams but I'll take your word for it and stay under 270 . What size cams do u have exactly? and are you runing with the EvoGreen or the stock 20G?

if you plan to get a Green then get 272s. The drivablitiy is not bad on them unless you get GSC they are actually a little more than 272s. I have a split combo HKS 272/264 the can love them. Def a good chunk of power behind them. although HKS cams are overprced for the same technology as others
