Did you know that ALL MAP Fab in house manifolds are built with the following features?:
100 Percent polished schedule 10:
MAP invested hundreds of hours into developing a system to polish schedule 10 to our specification including research into the best possible tumbler, sampling a wide array of aggregate to generate the perfect finish to start with.
All manifolds welded on back purge stations
ALL MAP in house fabricated manifolds are tig welded and 100 percent back purged. This a process by which shielding gas is introduced to the interior of the welded area to prevent the molten metal from being exposed to oxygen. This results in stronger, more uniform and cleaner welds.
All MAP in house fabricated manifolds come with thick, laser cut/cnc'ed stainless flanges
Resulting in longer lasting and more aesthetically pleasing parts
All MAP in house fabricated manifolds come ported
Where some companies will simply grind away excess material for a simple transition into the runners, MAP manifolds are actually ported and shaped for maximum flow.
All MAP manifolds are backed by our Lifetime Ownership Guarantee!
When purchasing a MAP manifold, purchase with confidence. We guarantee that manifold for the lifetime of your ownership of it (valid for the original purchaser only).
MAP Complete T3 Turbo Kit (Mitsubishi Evo X)
The wait is finally over as you can now get the MAP treatment in a T3 configuration using some of the best components available! Choose from four killer PTE turbochargers (please don't hesitate to contact us for suggestions) and turn your horsepower dreams into a reality. This kit includes every component you will need to complete the installation.
Included Components
Turbocharger of your choice
3" Stainless Steel V-Band Downpipe with Flex
304SS Tubular Exhaust Manifold with CNC Transition Head Flange to 1.5" Primaries
Cam Angle Sensor Heat Shields (not pictured)
Turbosmart Comp Gate 40 Wastegate
Wastegate Dump Tube
Stainless Steel Upper Intercooler Pipe
Oil Feed and Return Lines
All Applicable Gaskets, Hardware, Clamps and Couplers

MAPerformance - Proud to be your number one source for all things Tomei!
Mr. Seiichi Suzuki initially forged TOMEI is a tuning factory for race cars back in 1968. (Established as TOMEI JIDOUSHA Co. Ltd). From that day onwards TOMEI achieved excellent results in various motor sports categories. TOMEI was then recognized for its technology, performance and reliability that we had cultivated into our own design products and had a large support base from motor sports end users and tuners. Then the "TOMEI" brand was born through experience.
With the new market trends & demands, motoring enthusiasts wanted better performance to suit the new modern lifestyle. This trend helped set the stage where originality can play an active part in the motor sports scene and personal motoring lifestyle.
From Exhausts, to engine internals, to turbos, Tomei offers products to fill just about every category:
Tomei's has created a new line of titanium exhausts for latest import cars. Tomei titanium exhausts are designed for the best power and response, but keeping the great characteristics of the original engine. Each exhaust is tuned for each car and the least restrictive angles are chose to optimize power and torque. The thin titanium exhaust gives a true race style exhaust, but can also toned down with the included silencer.
The PROCAM series are for the serious users who need results when every milla-seconds count.
TOMEI Valve Springs
In terms of transferring the exact movement of the camshaft, the highest quality valve spring is required to the high RPM, high powered tuned engines. We developed our products with the most careful choice of the material, coating and the other technologies. Then we repeated severe tests to our pre-production in order to give the best quality that is performed in any situations.
Features
Reliability in high RPM, and improvement in an initial response
High durability against metal fatigue
High durability against the shocks from jump and bounce
High durability against surging
High sag resistance
Tomei Adjustable Cam Gears are designed specifically for each and every application. The pulley and gear are made from Duraluminum material for less weight and increased strength. Tomei adjustable cam pullies are sliding types with timing degree markings that allow the fine tuning of the valvetrain for optimized power.
Anything and everything Tomei offers, WE offer! Please feel free to shoot me a PM with any inquiries!

BIG NEWS straight from the ACT Blog:
May 2, 2013 — People love good secrets. So, when Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) engineers began developing a solution to the ACT Monoloc Ring Collarcommon problem with standard two-piece wedge collars found in Japanese pull-type clutches, they engineered Monoloc — a secret design too good to keep quiet about.
Monoloc is a direct replacement and upgrade to the two-piece wedge collar in pull-type clutches for the Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX, Subaru WRX STi and Mazda RX-7. Its one-piece construction eliminates the collar snap ring from bending or popping out of place, which typically leads to clutch failure or severe pressure plate damage.
“The problem usually occurs during racing or ‘enthusiastic driving,’” Dirk Starksen, ACT president and lead engineer on the Monoloc project, said, “The snap ring of the wedge collar sometimes pops out of place and doesn’t seat back into the release bearing. This causes the snap ring to bend and the clutch to stop working.”
Monoloc fixes these issues. The spring tension of the segmented retaining ring has been carefully calculated and tested for optimal performance. The one-piece wedge collar provides uniform loading on the bearing and pressure plate to assure proper alignment, regardless of driver influence or vehicle modifications. In addition, Monoloc’s hardened, Chromoly steel construction will provide years of service.
Monoloc can serve as a upgrade feature for pull-type pressure plates using a standard wedge collar design and is available separately, exclusively from ACT, for $80. It installs just like stock. Also, it is featured in a growing list of several newly-developed pull-type pressure plates available from ACT and distributors.
Here's a video explaining:
ACT designs, engineers and develops clutch kits and flywheels using knowledge gained from decades of track and performance street experience. ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent and predictable pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.
Advanced CAD, CAM and FEA tools are utilized to develop every ounce of performance and reliability. Each new product candidate is subjected to a painstaking development cycle with rigorous quality gates. If the end result does not perform significantly better, address issues common to each application and stand up to highly modified engines, it does not get put into production.
On the road to ultimate performance, there are no shortcuts.

MAP is proud to offer you D2 Coilovers for all applications including EVO 8/9 and X!
RS Series:
The RS Series suspension kit is our most popular coilover. Featuring a 36-way damping and rebound adjustable monotube design, RS Series coilovers are perfect for the modified street car that also sees occasional track days. This coilover has separate height and preload adjustments allowing for optimal suspension tuning while maintaining full strut travel at all times.
Features:
36-way damping adjustable monotube shock assemblies
Full ride height adjustability with separate spring preload
Anodized finish and Teflon coated threads to prevent rust
Upper camber plates and pillow ball mounts* (6061 Aluminum construction)
1 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty
Serviceable in the USA
Circuit Series
D2 CIRCUIT Series coilovers are designed for the circuit track enthusiast determined to go fast. Increased spring rates with more aggressively valved dampers and a larger, heavy-duty piston construction result in a suspension system that out-performs its competition. Large 52mm shock bodies increase oil capacity and the aluminum construction decreases weight to help this coilover perform at the limit.
D2 R-SPEC coilovers are the ultimate suspension system for the serious race competitor. Premium construction, race-spec spring rates with matched valving, and remote reservoirs make this our top-of-the-line coilover. This system allows you to fine tune your shock’s compression and rebound independently while helping to maintain acceptable shock oil temperatures under the most demanding race
PM us for exclusive pricing on these and MORE options for your ride!
