Fuel cut is annoying. Power is better everywhere. It feels like a solid 15whp with the boost back down to 20. Initially power felt as good as when I installed cams, but I soon realized that boost was at 22 instead of 20. I'm very pleased with this mod. Anyone who hasn't done this needs to.

But now you have fuel cut. That's another problem I'm worried about.

AMS sells lower IC piping separate from the intercooler.....so far i think they're the only ones who sell it separate. I heard that Fighters Garage is looking into producing lower IC pipes for the EVO, but they have yet to have a finished product.

I know the stock ones are fairely close to the Downpipe.

It's farther away from the dp than the stock one is because of how I routed it. Look at the second pic and you can see the dp in relation to the pipe. Yes it is Aluminum. You will be in Atlanta Sat? I'll see you there.
