I would like to use the AEM intake for the evo x because its closer to the front of the car.
Installed it myself one afternoon. Wasn't too difficult.

So far no voltage issues at all. Starts quickly and hovers around 13.7-14V when driving. I'd probably hook it up to a trickle charger or disconnect it if I wasn't able to drive it for a few weeks.

Running a Braille battery.

AEM intake has been great too and very clean looking in engine bay. Need that bracket I linked in my last post though to secure it.

Yes. You'll see in the pics, the Evo X bracket has a raised portion with two plugs to secure the X airbox based on it's location. This is not necessary for a stock RA airbox since it is located further back near the firewall.

Here's the comparison:

Evo X


Ralliart

How's the fitment of the trunk? Align up properly?
Planning to get one myself

I'd say so

Took me a bit of adjusting to get it perfect

I got a deal for the AEM intake. So with this intake, it looks like I don't need the turbo inlet hose. Is that right?

TurboXS catback installed. Couldn't locate a CP-E exhaust.

Needs a resonator installed (so fearsome the kids screamed)


Update: Added a resonator.

For the turbo outlet pipe, I'm using the UR UICP. That means, I have to look for the coupler that connects the two since the ralliart turbo outlet pipe has different diameter compared to the evo. Is that correct?

I don't recall the RA outlet pipe being any different in diameter than the X pipe. When I purchased my UR UICP, I chose the one designated for the X. Worked on the RA and X turbo.

The RA outlet pipe is clocked slightly differently than the Evo one.

On a side note, had a resonator installed midway into the TurboXS CBE. Made a world of difference. Now I've got the UR downpipe, UR resonated test pipe, and resonated TurboXS CBE. Still has the growl but drone has decreased.
