How to: Upper/Lower IC pipes & EvoX Intercooler
Well just finished installing the LICP, and yes a bit of a challenge, however I got all 3 bolt holes to line up, which I thought would not happen. As for connecting to the BOV, I had the full bov tubing from an evo x that the guy also gave to me when I bought it. Well I took that tubing and cut in in half and used the end that had the s or z form to it. This worked perfect and did not have to use a piece of pipe. So if anyone is buying a licp, try to get one with the evo x bov tubing. Plus it looks completely OEM, which is also nice.
But that's not a bad idea for anyone doing this in the future, good work!

Thanks homie, the 2 or 3 dollars im saving isnt at the top of my reasons list, what really is is the fitment and making sure it wont blow off under pressure etc.... Maybe ill do the radiator hose like someone said. Just take the bpv to get the correct measurement (diameter) and correct length (6 inches right?) autozone sells these radiator hoses right? Or where can i get it?

The radiator hose idea will work great if you can find one and trim it down to size.

HELP HELP 
I'm installing the Ultimate Racing LICP up to an Evo X style FMIC right now and have run into a little snag...
The bend in the LICP is hitting the front bar of the car body. You can see where this would occur by looking at the dimple that is moulded into the black plastic RA stock LICP pictured above. That dimple obviously avoids this problem but for those of you that have said the UR LICP fits perfectly, how did you get around this?

The pipe is on there, its just rubbing against the front bar which is not ideal. My local shop is doing the install as they're doing a lot of parts at the same time. I have to trust his advice on the fitment issue. Just wondering if any one else has experienced the same thing and how they over came it.

Why order a smaller battery? Just get the optima red top for your specific lancer. That's what I did and everything fits perfectly. I took off that stupid intake snorkel. Such a waste. Didn't even do anything for my SRI.

Hi BravoZero, it's definitely the RA specific LICP kit.

(1) Remove the extra bar that was in the way. Not a great option, but most of the pics I've seen of peoples' installs are missing this bar.
It's apparently an NVH-reducing item.(2) Getting out my precision tool (hammer) and revising the design of the LICP. Whacketty whack whack. Add the same "dimple" to the Evo X LICP that is moulded into the RA pipe.
I chose option (2). Whacketty whack!
