running an evo III mani and o2 with stock T25?

[eclipsegsx1736]

Im planning on getting an evo III turbo soon, but I wanted to mod more gradually. Could I run an evo III manifold, evo III o2 housing, and a 3 inch downpipe on the stock T25 for a while? I have no creep with only my catback because I hooked the WG directly to the turbo which limited my boost at 14 psi rather than the usual 9-11 psi for some reason, but it holds it perfectly. Would the T25 bolt up to the evo III parts?

Yes all the evo parts will bolt up to the t25 no problems but one thing you need to consider is the evo O2 housing. The bolt spacing for the downpipe is larger on it & it's a slightly different angle compared to the stock one, which is hard on the downpipe flex section. I believe RRE is the only company that sells a downpipe that will bolt up to the evo O2 housing and is designed for the slightly different angle. Also if your upgrading your mani to an evo unit, you should think about going with the SBR (slow boy racing) manifold. It is even larger then the evo mani, matches the 7cm opening on the evoIII turbo without any porting & the runners are much larger. It even comes tapped for an egt probe, works with the factory heatshield (have to inlarge one of the bolt holes slightly) & is only $20 or so more then the evo mani, well worth it IMO.
