Fricks 2014 EVO X Build Thread

As some of you know i started a introduction thread a couple weeks back when i picked up my EVO X. Long story short I’ve been daily driving a bolt gtr just over a year now. As I’m going away for the next couple years to a place full of rain and snowfall i did not want to put the gtr through that. After a lot of debating between the WRX and EVO i went with the EVO.

Now for the fun stuff.


I got in contact with my shop down in San Diego (ACG Automotive). They have done all the work on my other cars and are by far the best company I’ve worked with. They have a great relationship with many of top companies such as AMS and . I decided to go with all AMS parts for this build except the exhaust. I wanted a more quite and civil exhaust to try and keep things low key. Akrapovic filled all those spots and the carbon tips look fantastic.




Part List



AMS Front Mount Intercooler
AMS Upper IC piping
AMS Lower IC piping with Tial BOV
AMS Intake (wrinkled black)
AMS Widemouth Downpipe
AMS Fuel Rail Kit
ID 1000cc Fuel Injectors
Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust
Cobb V3 with E-tune from Chris Black at AMS.
