Bad idea. You are just paying for the name and on top of that the UICP doesn't give you any gains. The LICP is what will free up some power.

bad idea, and not true, what you need is a MBC, and a tune.

The LICP will free up some power but not much. I advise you to just leave your intercooler piping alone. Not only that, just throw a k&n airfilter on your stock intake pipe. Like someone said earlier, that stock pipe is good til you max out your turbo and go bigger.

Ive got the Injen UICP and the Hard intake pipe sitting in my living room for a reason. If you want it, and want to spend the money to have it tuned for that, its yours. But I suggest you dont. You dont need E85 yet.

Get yourself a MAF adapter, cone filter, turbo back exhaust, manual boost controller, and a tune. youll be plenty satisfied with that. then start lookin at cams and a fmic. CHECK YOUR PM's BRO.

dont get me wrong, they take very well to mod's, but not that much. I am in your area, send me a pm. If you want fun, all you need is a MBC, exhaust, 255, and intake (cams if you want more fun).

10's on e85 (with bolt ons)?? please tell me jesus will give a gold star for doing so.

now you will want to look into a clutch eventually if you plan to drive your car the way it was meant to be driven.

Give Nick @ DTM a call, he will steer YOU in the direction YOU want to go. he is of the very highest caliber in the evo industry.

cliffs, you need a nick tune.
no one said you'll be running 10's on e-85 and bolt ons.. I said with full bolt ons and e-85 with a descent launch and 60 ft time youll be high 11's. Yes e-85 is a fuel change but with that im able to run 30psi and 18-20* of timing.
