Ok here is the thing.My friend and I have almost the same setup on our cars,but I have the EVO3 turbo.When we race. I just him by a half a car off the line,but he then pulls side by side me until end of 3rd begining of 4th I then hit fuel cut and he pulls away as I let off..I think I should beat him with the EVO3 turbo and why am I getting fuel cut and he is not.Listed below is a discription of our mods.. HELP ME. Is there something I am doing wrong or something I can play with. I have the emange.,but its not installed yet. Is that why I get fuel cut.Will the emange make a big difference

seems to me like it's time to upgrade your intercooler. the cooler the air is going into the engine, the better it is for your engine
 
he really doesnt have to upgrade his intercooler right now, he has more things to worry about. things like a downpipe, ported 02 housing, ported exhaust manifold, afc, and fuel mods such as a walbro 190lph and some 550's will be sufficient enough to handle a EVo III 16g turbo. once you get these supporting mods, which u should have done before getting a bigger turbo, you'll feel the difference in power and the difference in car lengths that you are pulling on him....:thumb:
 
i only said that because i noticed that his friend had a front mount, and he still had his stock side mount
