Bored at work I was reading Automobile Magazine's article for the 2004 Car of the Year: the Evo. One thing struck me as hillariously wrong: "Yet the Evo is not without fault. Because of the tight packaging of the turbo's intercooler (it is wedged behind the front bumper), there is little room for a bigger one and therefore little tuning headroom on the cars, meaning that you won't see any 500-horsepower Evos marauding your city's streets at night."

Tell that to AMS

 

Wow. Thats a terrible mistake.

I get that mag and I missed that quote...nice find.

 

i'm guessing they're assuming you want to keep the front crash beam?

 

Haha thats great. Someones eating their shoe right now.

And there are many ICs that fit with the crash beam.

 

I have AMS first IC upgrade and it fits like a glove, much bigger than stock. no issues

 

Many aftermarket intercoolers allow use of the factory crash bar, for example my Perrin FMIC fits great.

 

did that guy mistaking the OZ for the Evo?

 

that is retarted!

 

You should make a copy of the article with the quote highlighted and find some stuff about high HP evos and send it to the editor

 

oops guess they forgot that kids with computers and dynos arn't as stupid as we look. They must have wanted to put a carborator in there somewhere.

 

wth. doode...that guy should get fired. haha. let ams roll over to them. and bring a few 500+hp members also. then see what he has to say. lol

 

hahahaha...what a joke!!!!

 

A few, theres a whole lot more than a few high HP members on here. 500 is almost commonplace now.

 

My intercooler IS my crashbar...

 

500hp FMIC's. I'll take 2
