New Evo 6 Owner

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Evening fellow Evo fans.

Attached are pictures of my Evo 6 in white

My near future plans are:
- To remove the Evo VI sticker on the rear as it is peeling away
- Purchase a louder dump valve as i love the 'whoosh' sound (Recommendations of any dump valves you personally use is welcomed)
- Stage 1 mods (Again, anyone who wants to advise me on this, it is much appreciated).

Adrian

Hi and welcome. Nice 6 Tial is what some of the guys are recommending on here

 

[gooner8]

I've use a blitz dump valve which is loud, also like the sound of the hks one!,

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Thank you for the link youngy, was a good read and easy to understand.
m7gsr and gooner, thanks for your recommendations as well... I have had a little look at both but i think i'll wait until tomorrow to have a proper look at them.
I am correct in saying dual vent dump valves are much better for Evos but if i was to purchase an atmospheric dump valve, i'd need to convert it into a dual vent with a kit, correct?

Hiya and welcome along

welcome to the madhouse

Don't forget to thank the person who wrote the thread youngy linked you

Hello and welcome !

Yes dual port is the best. I recommend the turbo smart one as its probably the loudest and crisp sounding

Atmospheric ones like the hks will work but you'll have stalling issues. Yes it can be plumbed to recirc but only recirc or atmosphere not both as its not a dual port

nice looking 6 mate. welcome to the club.

Ive HKS on mine and although it sounds great i have stalling issues so its gonna have to go. Tial seems to be a well recommended one.

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Thanks for the extra welcomes.
Rob, you have been thanked (That is where you click the 'woot!' link on the bottom right, right?)
Thanks for the input B6lee, i think i have a bit of saving to do for the Turbo Smart one but can imagine it to be well worth buying.

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Thanks ste-p-evo6. Yeah i think i would get rather irritated with the whole stalling issue with an atmospheric so its going to have to be between APS, TIAL or Turbo Smart.
I have read Rob's thread regarding the stage one mods but can someone tell me approximately how much it would cost for the whole setup? Lets just say i wanted to up my VI to 300-320bhp.

I'd say 3 port solenoid £50
Decat £30
Downpipe £100
Fuel pump £70
Remap and labour on top of that. There are a few other bits you could have but I'd say that's a minimum. Probably forgot something though. LOL

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

Thank you for the welcome evo arms.
Youngy - thankfully, my Dad is a mechanic so in terms of fitting the parts, it shouldnt be a problem, just whenever he has the free time to help me with it. With regards to the decat, how do you pass your MOT without a cat?
Have you modified your own Evo or have you kept it standard?

 

[B6lee]

I had a APS one and it was rubbish ! Good build quality but you hardly knew it was fitted it was so quiet

Turbo smart wins

 

[Adrian_Evo_6]

On your recommendation Lee, im going to leave APS out of the equation and focus on either a TIAL or Turbo Smart valve As mentioned previously, im going to have to start saving as i did not realise how expensive these things are so its just a waiting game now.
