Uhh...well custom mounting of the intercooler, and custom tubing. The outlets are in a different spot than the RA's.

Might work if you flip it upside down.

You'll have to do custom tubing. Why not use an evo 10 intercooler they're about the same just a bit larger? I thought I saw someone post on here a how-to install.

Isnt the intercooler on the 8-9's piping exit both sides left to right. That would be a heck of a job getting the piping to line up right and go to the top side correctly. Just by looking at it, it doesnt look like it could.

with the work it would fit, the greddy IC kit is a right and left exit, and they made it work, its just silly imo.

Figured i had to ask. My friend wrecked his EVO and said if i wanted the intercooler and piping i could have it free. I was just trying to figure out if it was worth the headach of installing it.

^If it's free, then why not? The Greddy kit exits left/right, I'm sure you can custom fab some tubing for a much less than buying the IC itself.

I would just suggest selling it and using the money to offset the cost of an EVO X I/C.

Get is parts, and sell them on the forums and put that money towards an upgrade for your Ralliart.
