So I want more power. lol. So It looks like i'm heading to the EVO X turbo. Seems like you can get a deal in the price for it.
So here is what I'm looking at once I'm done with the body kit project.
Evo X intercooler, turbo
AMS downpipe and HFC (might even get the AMS intercooler)
COBB EVO X Hard Pipe Kit and work with them with a air intake that will work with out removing the battery. ( I believe someone else was able to get that done).
Borla Exhaust. I just like how the Hard Pipe kit looks inside the engine bay. Very Clean looking.
1. Borla Exhaust
2. HFC
3. Intercooler
4. I will probably get the rest around the same time unless I get a great deal on a turbo.
If' I do this, I believe the Evo X UICP and LICP should work with out having to change anything?
Lol yea maybe in a year or two i'll upgrade SST clutch pads but I just can't do everything to fast. Wife will kill me.

So I was looking at the brake information and did wanted to know if I went with the Evo X size tires, can I get Evo X rotors and things like that?
Ok, So I read a lot of forums on brakes and things like that. The AMS seems like a good price. The Brembo is way to expensive. So I'm just wondering if there is any way to get or use the Evo X setup. maybe even change the hub? I don't know. Just brain storming here. lol.

Eric (NFSLancerRA) fabricated a bracket set that would allow you to mount big ol' Chevy Vette C6 calipers on the RA, but there has been a halt in production for now. That may be the way to go as the cost is ridiculously less than any other bbk out there and everyone who has done the swap swears by it. If you're not in a hurry, it could be worth waiting for.
As far as an intake for the X swap that keeps your factory battery location, CBRD makes one you can see here: http://cbrd.mybigcommerce.com/cbrd-r...-turbocharger/

Unfortunately no. I've tried ever possibly configuration to get an X caliper on, it just wont work. The bolting holes don't line up, but they also overlap (can't use a bracket). The hub is swapable but the the calipers don't bolt on to it (I tried that route as well). You need to either find a caliper that is roughly the same size with completely different bolt holes (like NFS did) and make a bracket, or buy a pre-made kit. I'm going Stop Tech.

I was looking for something like that but a shorter RAM so I don't have to relocate battery. I think it will look really clean that way.

The Intake comes with the filter. I wish they had a picture of the filter with the intake because it will make it easier to see that it is complete. I was wondering what else I had to get with it.
Thanks 03chi-town0Z for the help!
NFS sign me up! Just wondering what is everything that the kit will have?

New update. I'm ordering the new body kit next week. I'm also trying to get the Evoscan GPS(still reading more information on it), Borla Exhaust, the HFC, and Intercooler.
After reading about the RAD Turbo I'm very intrested but for now I'm going to add everything else I need except for the Turbo and DP till I make my decision about Evo X or RAD Turbo. Seems like I can make the same power. Either way I will be doing all the work myself so I'm not worried about labor cost or even the price of the parts. I just want something that works for me! What I like about the RAD is I can slowly upgrade everything and then just slap it in when I feel ready and max out the potential of the Stock Turbo. With the Evo X on I have to do a few piece at once.

Yes and that is very sad. Again just wondering so thats why I ask. I know most of the kits out there are only front to for our car so I was just wondering if he was never able to get to it because it was totalled or it was not in the plans.
I hope you do offer because I know I would be interested in it. I'm looking to do some show and things like that in El Paso with my car and some track. Of course for me it's to get the body kit on it first.
