Stock UICP no go.

I was running the stock UICP and a AMS LICP, my car was having very high intake temps, and knocked, because my pipe was rubbing on the radiator inlet and side..
So i picked up a ETS UICP and my car has 0 knock, spools faster, and pulles harder.. any one running just the LICP get the UICP. The stock one is Bottleneck and is too close to the radiator..

No problems here. Are you running the stock air box?

get an intake tube like the hks or the aem to go with your apexi intake. Thats what i did. and it pulls and sounds better. seems alot easier to breathe.

Placebo effect. You cant back that statement up with numbers.


SuPeRNeT, what was the difference in intake temps and how were you measuring them?

I would check your tune (fuel requirements).

EvoScan measures the temperature in the MAF, which is before the UICP, and therefor the UCIP has no bearing what so ever on the temp reading in EvoScan.
