Can someone please help me figure out thats up with this uicp?

it has both a hks bov and a stock flange?

thanks!

 

One of two things:

1. Guy put a vta his valve on and plugged the inlet on the Uicp that the stock dv fed into
2. Guy went lazy mode and there's now an enormous boost leak.

If its your car, try putting your finger in the hole, question answered.

 

thats just the anwser to everything in life isnt it? lol thanks

its not my car but it might be, its a car I'm looking at

 

Ive never seen this before

 

Its a stock upper intercooler pipe, the guy welded a HKS bov to it. The flange you see there is stock (there is a rubber coupler that attaches to that flange to the intake-Google a stock evo 8 uicp you will see what I mean). My advice is to get rid of the intake pipe to that turbo, the bov/uicp combo you have there asap. 1.) Get a Stock Evo 9 Diverter. 2.) Get a HKS intake in this stage of your evo.

 

Jesus

 

Hks intake? What's wrong with the k&n intake? I'd rather keep the carb legal intake and save the cash to upgrade the uicp. What's a good uicp that will clear the stock battery and k&n intake?

 

^1 This.

Honestly if I were you I would pass on this evo. Just from the picture that gives me insight as to the kind of person who owned that car and I would steer clear. There are others out there so be patient and find one that isnt hacked up and ghetto rigged.

 

+1 ^

How a car is modified will clue you in on how the owner took care of it. Stupid sh_t like this would make you wonder about the other things this guy decided to do. Hope to god he didn't decide to repack the diff plates.

The K&N intake would be just fine. You don't really need to change out the intake (from stock) until you are getting past 300-350hp anyways.

 

The one under the hood.

 

Agreed it is worth steering clear of that car. If you are worried about being legal, that bov pretty much ruins it for you if I'm not mistaken.
