considering an Evo Vii

Not trying to argue...but its easy to make 300BHP at the wheels with just an exhaust system, intake kit and a re-tune
Never seen that kind of power liberated on an Evo without raising the boost. You might gain 15 - 20 bhp, but remapping the car to that kind of level (certainly possible with a 9) involves picking the boost up from 1.4 bar-ish peak (IIRC) to 1.75 bar.deviant said:
and its all to easy for somone to wind the thing right up 'just to see what happend innit'.

Or maybe swap it for another bike for a year!
Or spend what you'd waste on depreciation against your new motor - on getting a bike as well 
I will still 'lose' money from now until next year if i keep hold of it.
I see you have the same warped way of justifying purchases as me

Indeed I wonder...Are UK cars re-tuned by Mitsubishi on their way in to the country?
Most cars here are Jap imports and run massively rich. I dont think the Aus delivered models were touched by Mitsi at all on their way in.

Interesting...The Evo tuners here in Aus are having good results without playing with the boost pressure. Of course every dyno is different and we do have different climatic conditions to tune the car in.

All official UK Evos go through Ralliart UK as I understand it where various modifications are performed depending upon model. There are some differences in the kit fitted to these models (exhaust systems, hard pipe kits, etc) and the ECUs are remapped on all IIRC. There are definitely differences in boost level between the models though (more powerful variants = more boost).I wonder...Are UK cars re-tuned by Mitsubishi on their way in to the country?

Both of my Evos are JDM variants. They did run very rich as standard for sure, and adjusting the mixture was part of the stage 2 mods done for each when aftermarket ECUs were fitted ( both run Autronic ... a native of your fair country I believe
)Are you sure that boost pressures aren't being adjusted? On later Evos this can be done using the standard boost solenoids fitted to the car I am told (I pay somebody else to do my tuning. Not clever enough myself!), so they can be adjusted pretty easily via a "simple remap".
Might be worth dropping into the forums on http://www.lancerregister.com if you really want to get into detail. Lots of UK tuners hang out there, along with many other people that understand the nuts and bolts of Evo tuning far better than I do
I had a Blitz Ibc boost controller fitted which not only lets me adjust the boost settings though I must add its always down the way from the settings provided by the tuning company.
The dual solenoid also prevents any possibility of spikes which could cause problems with running lean.
Stick to a well serviced car and one if possible thats known on the MLR
