Hey guys i just got back into the DSM game with a 95 GSX black with only 80,000 miles! Got a super good deal on it, and i can't believe how clean it is.

Anyway, my plan for the car is to make it my fast DD. Hopin just to max out the Evo3 16g (still the best street turbo?), with supporting mods, etc. I don't want to go cheap on any parts, but i also don't want to overspend on parts i dont need to (intake, MBC, etc).

I've been looking around at prices for various parts, and almost all have gone significantly up, and others possibly lower. So my usual choice of the simple Chrome Intake systems for example, has me second guessing if there is anything else out there? Do I need anything more quality? Was going to try and keep most things under the good either black or red, are there any decently priced black or red intake tubes out there?

While im at it, going to also need a MBC and had a few thoughts/questions.
1. I did the cheap Home Depot MBC last time, held up to 22 PSI no problems, im thinking of maybe doing the in-cabin Hallman for adjusting it down on my commute and maybe turning it up (when i have tuning software and all supporting mods much later) on the way home or when i please. Is the hallman evolution worth it? Or to properly do this would i have to load a new preset in my tuning software when adjusting the boost?

2. I can't find the basic triple-pod A pillar guage cluster i had last time and was hoping for some suggestions as well as some cheap, decent gauges for my boost, and EGT guage, since i already know i need the AEM UEGO. Its best to have (Boost, EGT, and Wideband, correct ?).

Any suggestions on these parts would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the rambling, im stoked!

PS- Those rims are GONE as soon as i find a set of Evo 8's or anything that's not chrome! Enjoy the DSM porn

Grab a wideband and boost gauge do some reading on the turbo evo is great but depends on goals, also get the mods, and a way to safely tune your car. gauge pods look at a vendor extreme psi is one of them. or even glowshift pods work too.
 
OMG what a clean nice car, Great find my friend!!!! As for the mods here we go...

^+1 on the EVO 16g great turbo other that supply line and j pipe great bolt on fit and durable.
Intake you do not need until power levels start reaching 380-400 so I wouldnt worry about it.
Check out Extreme PSI they have colored intake pipes and your EVO 3 on sale
Where ever you get your intercooler may powder coat piping for you
AEM is a good gauge but I prefer Innovative motor sports
DSM Link is highly reccomended for the level you want to be at also.
I would forget the EGT if you have a really good wideband but just my .02
 
Clean engine bay and clean car overall.

Glowshift makes a black triple gauge pod as well as gauges although I wouldn't use their gauges in my cars.

If you must go with 3 gauges I would go with Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio, Boost/Vacuum and Oil Pressure. However EGT would be the 4th one.

If you weren't on the other side of the country I'd have given you a great deal on some EVO VIII wheels.
