Update:
So the huge space saving stock intake box is coming out, intake going in! I can not find any leaks in the stock intake system (took it apart and reinstalled) so I am still unsure of logging the correct IAT.
188F IAT is just redonkulous. Is there any issues with IAT that high if it really is at that temp?
I have called a couple places today for quotes on relocating the battery to the trunk. I just do not have the time to relocate it myself. I am hoping the price will be close to the AMS small battery kit. Illinois winters are crazy and I do not want any issues starting if temps are close to 0.
Once I relocate the battery I can install a AEM cold box? I know Bryan @ GST has the AEM intake but did not install the box. Will I need more than just the AEM intake? Like a MAF for the Evo X?
If anyone has any thoughts or if Bryan can chime in, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

The AEM intake box will work if you move the battery. Currently I have a mini battery laid down flat where the OEM was and the box just barely doesn't fit.
I will be moving the mini battery to the side or by the ECU here shortly and the AEM box will then fit.
The AEM intake comes with a full intake system, meaning MAF housing, induction tube, filter, and box.
I'm not sure how well it will fit to the stock turbo. You will at the very least need a reducer to connect the aem induction tube to the turbo.

188F is for sure wrong. A couple weeks ago it was around 98F here and I was logging approx 115-120F intake temps with my open filter while at 65mph, which is a bit nutzo to begin with but not surprising with a open filter with no shielding.

Do you know what size reducer I would need? I am going to assume the induction tube is 2.5in and in order to connect the stock turbo it would have to reduce to 2in?
This makes me want a bigger turbo!!!
Also I think the DV needs to be relocated as well? I see in the pics of the Evo X that the DV is right on top of the inlet pipe instead of on the side of the snorkel like the RA. I will also need an X snorkel too.

So, I had my appointment yesterday at Boomba Racing. I did not have time last night to upload a video on the dyno nor post a dyno chart. I will have time after work tonight to post everything.
I will completly edit my first post with everything I have but for know I thought you guys would like to know what she threw down.
264whp 294wtq.
Mods are: ams intake, testpipe and catback.
UR uicp and licp
EvoX fmic and metal bov
It looks like I lost some ponies by not throwing in a Dp but I felt for 4 hours of labor for 2-7hp is expensive for that little gain. I will swap the Dp next year when and if I throw in a bigger turbo.

I'm aware of it's superiority under higher boost situations. I was just wondering if this mod is precautionary or if there was a noticeable difference, and in what respect, while still using the stock turbo.
You guys both demonstrate Boomba's great tuning. Nice job on the numbers!

Ya I didn't, i thought it was seated correctly but if i pushed on it, it would pop off where it sits closest to the bumper. I even had Strictly Modified try and fix it. They got it to sit better but its still not perfect. There is a part of the plastic that hits where the bend is that doesn't allow it to sit flush. I am probably going to shave it down and see if that does the trick. If not I am going to pick up the ams uicp. And i am going to call UR tomorrow.
