Yota is the man thats the kinda info we need on evom.

Ive had 2 buschur set ups now and both have been outstanding. I would say its better to spend your money else where though. You live in the North so its never desert hot by you, you dont need an intercooler unless your gunna break 450 hp. When you switch to a aftermarket FMIC you WILL LOOSE SPOOL and you WILL LOOSE TQ. If you are driving mostly on the street you want all the TQ you can get and the faster the spool the more fun it will be.

All you really need if you stay on the stock frame turbo is LICP, new couplers and tbolt clamps. Your money is better spent elsewhere in my opinion. Ill leave you with this fact b I lost 20 tq to gain 17 hp by switching to a bigger FMIC and all the short route pipes.

a better bet would be LICP, Tclamps, New couplers, Then replace the FMIC you want with cams or with a combo of a O2 housing and upgraded hotside.

Don't get the lower pipe, it reduces down to 1.75" - we found a measurable HP difference between the 1.75" and the ETS 2.5" of 7whp.

Thanks!

Michael

I'd say its the best bang for the buck. Plus you don't need a small battery kit.

Injen Hard Pipes and Intake

Injen makes a very good product. I had the hard pipes and intake for my VIII and I didn't have any problems. I ran the stock intercooler and fitment was perfect.
On the X that I have now, I went with an AMS FMIC and again the fitment is spot on. For the X though, you won't get the Lower IC Pipe. Sorry no numbers for you but you are able to notice the difference in acceleration.

Am I the only one who had to cut material off my intake to make my Injen kit fit? The tube that goes from the intake to the BOV - I had to cut off like an inch and a half to get it anywhere near fitting.

Besides that, I was happy with the price and gains. Good bang for the buck.

I had to do that to get my synchronic bpv to fit, but the stock bpv went in fine.

My car had a Forge BPV in it when I bought it. Maybe that had something to do with it, who knows.

Had the Injen UICP and Intake on my car for ever never an issue. I don't prefer Aluminum IC piping though and went with ETS .

It's a good kit as stated previous I've seen some High Power cars running it over the years without issue.

I had mine since 2010, only thing that pops off is the LICP coupler that mates to the FMIC. I hate that!!! I need to get new couplers there and probably all around.

Just installed this intake i would say as long and you muscle everything int the right place it's fitment is pretty good and haven't had looseness since test drives.

I bought tclamps and silicon hoses to replace the crap ones that came with the kit. No issues for past 3 years.
