i just installed my full evo x intercooler/piping took 6 hours but got it on there. made a custom 6' pipe and welded a bead around the edge.
but did anyone else notice a kinda drop in rpm when idoling while driving? i never really payed attention to it before but it seems like it drops alittle low randomly when idoling. Hasn't stalled or anything. i also have a aem intake and no tune.

Update:
Just ordered the piping from HRPworld.com. Super nice guys! My question is that... are we re-using the RA BPV hose and just using the pipe as an extension? I'm assuming we need clamps on both ends to tie it all down? lol.. such a n00b question. So far no one encountered any problems?

Page 3 on this very thread has some great photos showing exactly where it will go. The only thing in those pics is that none of the clamps are installed, which may have been the root cause for your question, but know that there should always be a clamp at each end of any hose section to secure it in place and prevent leakage.

You don't have to do that pipe mod for the BOV to the LICP. You can use your stock hose; but it will be very tight.
One more option you can do, is go to your local auto shop and bring in your BOV and test fit Radiator hoses and see which one fits. Find one that has a curve that would bend at the battery location.
Bring it home and cut the hose to fit.
That's what i did.

I was in this same situation until I found some really affordable pipe at stock car steel dot com. They sell it by the foot, and unfortunately it is not bead-rolled, but their "Aluminum Tube - Round 6061: 1-3/8" O.D. x .058" wall" is the perfect size and wall thickness. Just need to find a local machine shop or somewhere to get it bead-rolled.

Hi this question was probably answered already, but i was wondering if anyone could help me out and give me a straight up answer....If i use the evo x intercooler with the evo x upper and lower ic pipes what will i need? i heard i will need a coupler which i have no idea where to get? also i heard i need that 6inch tube is this correct ? I would really appreciate any responses.

The 6" pipe you will need to position the bov properly, as shown just a few posts above.
The coupler you will not need because you are using Evo piping along with your Evo IC. The coupler is needed when people are using their original piping with the Evo IC.

If I didn't use that 6" pipe for the BPV would it all still work? Aside from the awkward placement of the BOV does everything still assemble and function properly is what I mean to say.
And is the RA throttle body inlet the same size as the Evo's? I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket lower pipe so I don't have to go through the trouble of reaching for the LICP again, but the one I'm looking to buy is off a guy with an Evo.

It will still work, but the fitment will be very tight and will require some clocking/manipulation. The hoses will be stretched and awkward, but it can still be done.
You can definitely use the Evo X aftermarket LICP; the fitment at the throttle body is not an issue.
