Car just dosent feel fast

[totaleclipse3]

I have been a member of this site for about two years now and I have not posted very much. I have put hours and hours into researching information, and I have gone from knowing nothing about cars to being pretty savvy. With that being said, I have finally accomplished most of my goals for my 97 gst, I have put in a K&N, a hard pipe ram air intake, a megan 3" turbo back exhauset, a turbo xs MBC running 15 to 16 psi, autometer gauges, greddy upper and lower ICP's, a greddy type-s BOV, and have purchased a 14b, though it is not installed yet.
So to my point, I just recently took a ride with one of my friends in his evo 8. It is 100% stock but it felt ungodly fast, it seems as if my car isn't even close to what his feels like. I'm feeling pretty defeated at this point. Am I wrong to think that I should be at least close to 300hp, I did practically all the stage 1 mods excluding the larger turbo, but does that even matter since it says you only need 16 psi's for that stage of upgrades and I know the t25 or 14b is capable of that. My car just doesn't feel that much faster than stock. Is there something I am missing here? Thank you for any advise you have to give.

I'm pretty sure evoscan only works with 98 and 99 cars.

I heard this as well, but i emailed the company that makes evoscan and they said that it would work. Anyone have any experience with this? I know that it logs knock on 2gs.

The guy who developed evo scan is a liar. He will say any thing to sell his products.
I bought his USB OBDII cable because he said it would work with a DSM......... NOPE.
I also tried his evoscan software, NOPE...... but I was using the evoscan +his cable. I have yet to try with a Serial OBDII cable (I just need a female-female serial cable to connect to my OBDII logger)

my t25 also holds 15-16 psi throght the whole rpm range. im running an intake,3'' muffuler system and 3'' down pipe no cat, tanabe suspetion and hp struts, hks ssqv vented. and i run on pump gas 93-94 oct


and yes i have a boost gage if anyone is to ask how i know my psi ahaha. and 98eclipsekidd08 is my friend from school and he is holding 15psi



make sher u check for boost leaks and take off the intake check for shaft play make sher u have some nice ass oil and just pamper the whole motor. it will let u have 15-16 is everything is good. my is running 15-16 and holds and i dont even have a boost countroller. i picked up some psi from mods[intake,muffler system,down pipe nocat and hks ssqv

I'm trying to figure out why "tanabe suspension and hp struts" was added in a thread about going faster... I guess I should buy me some hp struts if word on the street is they're making us go faster!

I think the RRE upgrade chart path is bias based on the product.

I used to have a 98 tsi awd, all stock besides K&N FIPK. Now I have a 97 gst with an Apexi N1 turbo-back, 14b turbo, HKS SSQV, and a boost gauge. The gst is soo much faster than the tsi awd I had. And my 14b is running stock boost and it still pulls so much harder and all the way through the RPM range.

You brought back an ancient thread just to take a potshot at RRE?
