Any CX Racing Owners?

I know there's one member here that has the CX Racing fmic & piping with bov kit.

Anyone else using it? How is the quality?

Looking at purchasing the intercooler piping and the bov kit and running a stock evo x fmic. It should all fit, right?

Here's the kit

Well that's good news, hoping I can get some positive feedback from RA owners.

Magnok (sp?) has this kit. Curious if he or anyone else has a video of the bov as well.

I have researched getting this kit to fit on an RA and I seem to remember that it doesn't fit on our cars. I think someone tried it and it didn't work. Maybe someone else can shed more light on this.

P.s. I had a CXracing intercooler on my WRX and the piece was good but the gasket that came with it blew out in a day. Make sure you get OEM gaskets if you do buy it.

hmmm I wonder why it wouldn't fit, since it does fit on the X it should fit ours too.

I was really hoping this would be a decent budget setup (oem X intercooler, CX Racing piping).

I have the CXRacing piping with the stock EvoX FMIC and had it working w/o any issues both with the stock RA turbo and now the EvoX. No fitment issues. Here's a picture of my engine bay: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...s-dscn0676.jpg

Nice looking engine bay, did the kit come with the intake? Any issues with it leaning out? How's the bov sound? Any leaks?

The kit didn't come with the intake. I bought a couple of extra pipes from them and moved the Ultimate Racing SRI further forward. I had to cut the 45 degree pipe in the middle and attached the cone filter there. I was only able to do that with the X turbo because there wasn't quite enough room w/ the OEM RA inlet and the battery.
No leaning out issues and I know for sure because I have a wideband. And of course I'm tuned for my configuration.
BOV sounds awesome, and no leaks. At one point during the tuning process it held 32lbs of boost and I am now running 26lbs.

What do you want a video of? Do you want to hear it run or just see the whole installation?
