thats not the almighty GM 3 port though. thats the pierburg 3 port, and i know that thats plug and play

i know bryan @ gst said that although the GM is the best, the pierburg seem to work ok.

and the grimmspeed is too new to know right now

Cutting/splicing the GM 3 port took all of about 5 minutes. It's not terrible.

I understand your desire not to cut the factory wiring. The plug can be found in junk yards. I believe its on some DSM air con plugs in the engine compartment. There is a thread somewhere in this forum. It would be great if someone could find a source for new plugs with leads.

I understand that you want a plug n play opition. But..

Like lan evo said, it take 5 mins, and you can still go back to stock in 5 mins.

Unless he has the urge to repeatedly switch back and forth between the stocker and the GM. God knows we all like to switch back and forth at least a few times a day

To own an Evo, while claiming to want to keep things factory....well...they don't seem to go together too much lol.

Lol I know. I switch up once a week, lol.

No but really, I think its funny people will own a EVO and not be afraid to put in cams or a bigger turbo, but cutting two wires, oh NO.

sorry to disappoint you all, maybe i should just sell my car because i like having a quick backup plan


besides, in about 20k miles, i wont mind cutting wires and hacking stuff together, but until that happens, ill stick to plug and play options as much as i can

LOL, you dont have to sel your car. and we trying to tell you even if you splice in the GM, you have a "quick backup plan" and its called reinstalling the stock BCS in like 5 mins.

ANd if you gonna do it in 20K miles, whats the difference if you do it now??
