I was gonna get some put on the first time my uicp fell off. Only benefit I see is it not popping off, I would say do it if your running higher boost.

ditto, i put them on right after i had trouble keeping the ic pipe on the throttle body. I'm sure it'll take as much boost as i can throw at it.

For the intercooler pipe you can get it from Napa (2.5") 7051531
, 2.75" for the throttle body,7051532.

http://www.napaonline.com/cgi-bin/n...88&prmenbr=5806

Lower pipe is 2.25". Try ebay.

I went thru a lot of sizes to get the correct ones.

You can get them at Road Race as well. They "should" know which size will fit your Evo:

Think of the Tbolt clamps as cheap insurance...

Road Race also has bigger/stronger clamps if T-Bolts don't work for you. That's what i currently have on my car and i have no problems.
