So as the title says, I could hear a major leak while under load so I ordered a lower intercooler pipe and after pulling off my bumper I found the problem....see picture below.. (they kinda suck took them with my phone) not sure how the hell it happened since the bumper was fine. The stock pipe was almost smooshed flat. The car runs like a champ now huge difference.

 

Holy crap man, that's a pretty big dent! Glad you got it taken care of bro. Now go do some pulls to see what you were missing!

 

thats a big *** dent wonder how that happened

 

im sure you picked up 30-40whp too lol How did that manage to happen?

 

Damn..what was boost dropping off at? Mine drops to around .25 bar when reving past 6k wot.

 

You would think you would remember running over something big enough to do that! Glad you got the nice upgraded pipes!

 

Did you buy your car used? If so I would say that car was in an accident and they just replaced the front bumper and that's it.

 

I wonder if you buy the Evo new or used. If it's used, it could have been into an accident before that's why it's bent.

 

DSMEVOLUTION, we meet again. Wow, I can't believe we both thought the same

 

LOL, wow... that pipe was f'ed

 

Is your car lowered? Bet it was a speed bump.

 

it feels like hundred, i actually had to turn the boost down it was making 21 lbs before, my fist pull its made 24.

yeah I bought it used, but Im figuring the bumper was the original cause it still has the VIN sticker on it which if you try to peel off it just says void

 

Maybe the previous owner thought there was something seriously wrong with the car and decided to sell it quickly?

I'm installing my LICP this week. My stock one doesn't look like yours, but it'll still be an improvement.

 

that's crazy, it would have taken something with some force to make that dent.

 

God damn!Ive never seen a licp bent like that.Glad you got it replaced.
