Warrtalon, what one would you get if you were me?
My Insurance is paying $721 for FMIC and $166 and $152 for pipes. So i have to be under that budget!

Nisei FMIC if it's still $695 and the AMS LICP for $170. If your stock upper IC pipes are damaged, then take your choice of the many IC pipe kits out there (AMS, Buschur, Helix, Injen), but if your stock pipes are fine, I'd use the money on an MBC+gauge.

I just received my car back 2 weeks ago from the shop after a minor accident. I replaced the IC with an AMS and the radiator w/ a Koyo. My mods are: 3" TB, Walbro 255, Custom Dynoflash, Hallman MBC, and K&N Drop-In. I definitely feel more pull up top. I did notice a loss of boost, about 1-2 psi the 1st few days, however, without any adjustment, it is back to my original setting. The AMS looks SICK!!! The Koyo is such a tight fit. I would not recommend it unless you are planning on road racing.

Well guys, i put my evo in the ditch 2 nights ago (brambos couldn't stop fast enough). So its in the shop getting fixed by my insurance. My question is should i upgrade my intercooler and pipes? My car has TBE and FLASH thats it. Is it worth it or should stay with stockers? Would i need a REFLASH?

I can promise you won't be the last guy to post this winter saying that you cracked up your evo. Hell, I might be on posting it, just don't blame the brakes.
