I had a rough time even installing the intercooler tonight much less anything else because the mounting brackets didnt match up correctly... i had to stop just after finally getting the intercooler to mount up because the pipe from the bottom of the turbo to the intercooler is off by almost a whole pipe width, and is about 2 inches too long from mating up correctly.

Questions:

1. Is there a different lower ICP for the IX then the VIII ?

2. The nipple that was on the old LICP piece that buschur took off i was originally running to my boost controller so now... am i suppose to run the line from the wastegate to the boost controller then T it into the line with the BOV ? thats what i think im suppose to do but i want to make sure.

Any help anyone has is greatly appreciated... im going to call buschur in the morning but i would like to know something tonight if possible... thanks

 

FWIW, my AMS LICP (on stock intercooler) had issues with the increased boost after my tune. I couldn't get it to stay on, and it literally blew off 3 times. Running stock now. Not sure if the Buschur LICP has some of the same issues on the IX or what?

Free bump....

 

no, its because the intercooler on the hotside has its pipe go straight back... great idea, but the pipe that was sent to me from the guy i bought it from doesnt fit right... BY NO WAY IS THIS BUSCHUR'S FAULT... i think the guy lied to me when he said he called buschur and verified it would fit the same as the viii... i'll find that out tomorrow... either way, there is always a fix, just sucks it has to be so difficult

 

Yes, the IXs have a different turbo-outlet piece...I purchased the Injen LICP meant for the VIIIs and had to have a welder attach an extended piece to the part that connects to the intercooler end tank to make it reach and fit well.

 

I have a hpf licp ;i am goin to install my buschur ic tomorrow.I let you know how it goes.

 

bump

 

Leo,

Why did you risk on buying a Evo 8 LICP when you know that the Evo 9 turbo outlet is already different? Buschur just released a LICP for the Evo 9. If you aren't happy with the Injen you can always get the Buschur.

By the way, do I get to see you next weeken in Phoenix for the Evo/STI meet?
Take care Leo.

No problems at all. Everything fits just right

 

It completely left my mind at the time I bought it, the Injen pipe was refabricated and fits great now.

Yea, can't wait to see the new goodies Socorro and you have done to the Evos. You taking both of them or just the IX?
