    Regardless of what some may say, you made a good choice for an electro. As far as electro's go, the imp is the Mag of the electro world. They are extremely easy to maintain, and they always shoot.

    A few tips:

    Internals - remember these 3 letters - N D Z.
    Problem is, they are getting rare.

    The holy grail of valves is the RIP valve, but they are not cheap. The last one on Ebay went for $76! If you can get one for $30-40, jump on it.

    Next is a NDZ ram/hammer assembly. All the best components wrapped up in one.

    Third, the LPR/ANS combo. One of the best LPR's.

    Don't mix NDZ and Evil internals. Evil internals are designed for higher pressures, NDZ internals are designed for lower pressures.

    As far as boards go, if you can find one, get a WAS board. The blackheart is good, but the WAS has better eye logic.

    Triggers are pretty much a personal preference, I like magnetic triggers. NDZ makes excellent triggers, and I have them in both of my Imps. You can adjust them to where you have about a 1mm pull.

    HP regs - the stock Maxflo's are great, very consistent. The older ones are kinda big, but you can get shocker Maxflo's pretty cheap. AKA Sidewinders / 2-liters are excellent too, but kinda pricey. Some like CP regs, but I haven't used one of those to be able to tell you one way or another.

    Lube - DONT USE OIL. Play it safe, use shocker lube or sl33k. Dont use it on your bolt unless the bolt is aluminum. 33 will swell delrin up and cause you problems.

    PM me, I can help you with Imps all you want.

      Thanks for the info. I went with evi internals. I need to grab an evil valve, but the stock one seems to were ok. I did get the ndz slik shot ram and delrin stock length bolt, but the resp and the hammer and soon to be the valve will all be evil. My bob long torpedo reg seems to keep up fine.
