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.

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 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.
