I'm looking for a DIY project to add a few more hp and was just thinking of ordering an ETS licp off their website, seems like they know what they are talking about.
Anyone have an opinion on this for an Evo 9 with a mild tune and pipe?

If your still on stock licp, then yes you should notice a little faster spoolup. Its definately noticable upgrade over the uicp.

 

Yes, absolutely.

 

or should I pay a bit more and order a 3.5 inch ETS stock replacement Intercooler?

 

No matter what size ic you'd be running,stock licp is restrictive.

 

The LICP is definitely a must have upgrade for better throttle response and HP.

Get the ETS LICP and 3.5" Intercooler like me! great mods!

 

With no change other then the ETS licp on the same day/tune my car picked up 15hp/15tq thru out the power band on the stock evo 9 turbo on 93 oct on a dynojet. Well worth the money. An ETS 3.5" Intercooler is also a solid investment.
Choosing Quality parts make the difference. Combination is everything.

 

YES, Faster spool and throttle response. A definite gain for sure.

 

I run this LICP. Great product and noticed a faster spool with better throttle response. Can't go wrong with this upgrade.

 

I never noticed a difference with running a different licp. If you plan on maxing out any setup, it is a must though. As far as "combination is everything," there isn't really a whole to for a combo...not running random junk is more like it.

 

i just went with an eBay one for 80$ or so

 

My evo spools a little faster with my new ets licp.

 

Haha because the butt dyno never lies...

 

The AMS Pipe was good for almost 10WHP and faster spoolup. It works.
