Kinugawa 3" Turbo Cover for EVO 9 20g or 25g

I was interested in buying a turbo cover for my stock evo 9 turbo.
I know FP has them for 200 bucks

But i also found these guys:
http://shopping.kinugawaturbo.com/tu...td0625g-2.aspx

they are 50 dollars cheaper looks like but they have 2 different types of turbo covers, one is 20g and one is 25g, which one would i need to get for my stock evo 9?

What else would i need to buy to install this turbo cover or is it simply just take the old one off and put the new one on?

I would suggest the one from FP, there was a study floating around showing how the PTE style compressor covers don't actually reduce surge but just look cool. (the cover with the little holes)

Op do you really need this cause it's looking cool? If yes you need sd and run no filter.

Not for looks. More for the sound I guess

50$ isn't a big enough difference to buy from a no name brand as apposed to a stand up company like FP. Evo's are expensive and saving 50$ is not worth it in this case.

I agree so that's why yesterday I pulled the trigger and bought the FP one.

maybe ill even try to make a video since I couldn't find one anywhere to compare the sound. As far as power Im not sure how that's gonna work since im gonna be installing a different LICP and o2 housing at the same time. Im going with ETS v2 LICP so I might pick up additional 3whp.
