A bunch of questions
So I have a 2012 RA. Right now i installed I have Boostpill, Ecu flash, UR catback, with an X intercooler and UR uicp in the garage. I plan on installing m the intercooler soon but i have a few questions.
1. My UR UICP is for the X, will i have to change the turbo outlet funnel? Or do i hook it up to stock?
2. I plan on doing the X turbo swap very soon. And am wondering will a stock X BPV leak?
I plan on pushing 320+.
3. When I get my car tuned with the X turbo, What limits should I tell the tuner I want to stay at, WHP/WTQ
4. I have yet to purchase a LICP for the intercooler. Should I go with aftermarket Ralliart LICP or X LICP?, I was thinking to go Ralliart to go after market because of the pain in the as$ with the BPV.
5. Will i Feel the gains from the IC?
And yes i did use the search but yet to find direct answers. Thanks guys

Cool!
My $.02 worth:
1. The turbo outlet is the same diameter for both. No issue.
2. Debatable. It should be adequate.
3. General concensus is keeping the torque not to exceed 300 wtq... The whp doesn't appear to be the stressing factor....
4. I have no advice - i kept my RA LICP and used an adapter... it was significantly easier and cheaper (and IMHO not much to be gained (hp/$)... I stand by to be corrected
)
5. No - what you will notice is more consistant pulls back to back. There is a post which shows the temperature delta for the stock RA IC and the EVO X and it is significant! If you are going EVO X Turbo - you must do it. Even with a stock turbo or CBRD Lite you reallly should do it.

Thanks a lot, that really helped. It would be so
Much easier to just use the Ralliart Licp, but I've heard it pretty restrictive, no? If I do plan on just staying stock with the Licp, where did you get your coupler and what size did you get?

The stock metal EVO X DV is perfectly fine for the stock turbo.
Just get all X IC parts since your going to a X turbo.
There will be horsepower gains with an aftermarket IC kit though.
I'm running stock EVO X turbo and pipes/ic and downpipe.
GST boostpill and stock RA boost solenoid. 310whp /340 ft-lb torque
You shouldn't need to limit any power right now on the SST tune. As long as its tuned correctly, it shouldn't slip.
