Will a evo 9 intercooler fit a 03? Also does anyone know where I can get those center trim pieces for the steering wheel? They are like trim covers for where the aluminum part of the wheel spoke meets the leather (there is 3 of them, I need one).

 

The VIII and the IX have the exact same intercooler

 

True but the LICP is different just so you know.

 

So if I buy a 9 intercooler I will need what piping with it so it fits on my 03.

 

No.

 

"no" as in I don't need anything but the 9 intercooler?

 

The only pipe thats different is the outlet pipe. Any VIII or IX lower pipe will fit exept the outlet pipe. The aluminum is the same. Just get a VIII outlet pipe and your fine

 

Why would I need a 8 outlet coupler when I have a 8? I think what I have got from this thread is the 9 intercooler is a 8 intercooler. A 9 intercooler is a direct bolt in no extra parts needed.

 

Just wondering why would you go from a VIII to IX Intercooler? It's not an upgrade, they are pretty much the same. The only reason I can see you doing this, is something is wrong with your intercooler and somebody is offering to give you their's and your just wondering if it will fit?
