Regarding the injectors, it is always good to replace the injectors, especially for future mods as they wear out and has small mesh filters.
660CC is a very small improvement, and I got it for price of 1 brand new. No fuel = blown engine.

Thank you for the info anyway.

Getting back on topic, thanks for all the answers regarding the LICP.
If you got everything like that, than more power to you.

Just don't forget the fuel pump.

LOL are you sure about this ? I would have thought that flow is determined by the minimum cross section or diameter ...You'll have to send the Mitsubishi engineers a helpful note - I am sure it would reduce their manufacturing costs too...

I guess a better word would be bottle neck. It was 110 deg. Sorry!

Im in the same boat now as I wanna upgrade my IC now and LICP while im at it.
I dunno if I want the ETS or the AGP. I like the AGP because it is aluminum.
Any thoughts?

ETS. . . how come you decided not to use aluminum in any of your piping? Just curious. Was the only reason cost?

ETS is gonna tell you that aluminum will oval due to the clamping pressure of your coupler clamps

That's one of the reasons! The other reason is durability. We frequently receive calls about aluminum piping that has rubbed through or been struck by debris and is ruined. Track use aluminum piping might be a good option, but in real world driving we have found stainless to be the best option for durability and reliability.

Once you oval an aluminum pipe it's hard to get a proper seal. I recommend worm drives and thin silicone on aluminum piping to get a good seal.

i can buy that from rubbing. I wouldnt think of too much about debris, but anything is possible.
Was just curious why you guys didnt offer.

Anyone run this AGP one? I saw some people complaining about the seal, but it seems like it has rolled ends now.

The lower will give you the biggest gain, the upper pipe is more for reliability reasons. The stock rubber hose likes to pop off under decent boost on the UICP.

Thanks!
