Ya radiators I've always had pretty good luck with. I remember buying mishimoto radiators before they gained popularity. The price made me skeptical at first but after seeing the unit they sent for my DD I was truly impressed.

 

I just installed a set of T-bolt clamps from eBay. I don't think they're SS. $38 shipped for enough to do the full stock system. Good quality kit and helped me sort out some leaks. From seller votionspeed. Shipping was super quick. Highly recommended if you need to replace the crappy factory clamps.

 

I haven't run one of the maxracingrodsspeedpowerboost manifolds. You are correct. My point is why be a guinea pig for a part that probably has huge casting flaws in it? You are talking about putting faith in a company that isnt proven. Even companies like skunk2 and Magnus have flaws in their castings...would you expect a part that costs $100 not to? The ported stocker is proven. I ran one on my 635whp FP Black setup. I will back David Buschur on this one by saying that for 99.9% of people, you don't need anything but a ported stocker. If you are doing it for aesthetic reasons, spend a little more for a GTspec/MAP unit. They at least will perform on par with ported stock parts.

 

How about these braces?

Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap Do Luck lip for an 8? Or vortex generators?

 

has anyone ever tried these radiator hoses on the Evo8/9 where it meets the manifold awfully close? Let me know. Thanks!

I used the 70$ evo ix turbo install kit from authentic-boosting. Came with all gaskets, banjo bolts, coolant lines, j pipe etc. everything fit perfect and there hasn't been a single issue with it since I put it on last year.

1) O2 housing is not good. Mine cracked.

2) Catalytic Converter 02 cheater works well.

3) Rexpeed and BaysonR are good companies for carbon fiber front lips.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

 

$500 coilovers, sorry that this is not an ebay link but these coilovers are cheaper than any on ebay

this is not the "cheapest parts" thread, this is the "ebay parts that work well" thread

 

How about those universal intercooler pipe kits all over ebay? Has anyone ordered one of these kits and used the pipes to make an UICP and LICP? They are normal angle bends that can be trimmed and coupled together. This is assuming that you pick a kit with overall good thickness in the piping. Afterall, a pipe is pipe is a pipe. Right? The only thing extra I don't see is the reducing coupler.

 

Save your money and buy a kit designed for an evo

 

when you trim to fit, you lose the bead rolled ends and you will pop intercooler pipes off left and right.
