Looking for Uk EVO 8 owner......R&D opportunity

I don't know how many Uk based EVO 8 owners, if any, spend time on these forums. I have been in contact with a manufacturer that is based in Coventry that is looking for an EVO 8 to inspect/measure for product development purposes.



If you are interested, either PM me, or send me an email at jredding@usmo.com for further details.

Thanks

Jeff

Before I let this post die a slow death, heres a little additional info. The company looking for a UK based EVO 8 owner is ITG products. Itg makes some of the best performance oiled foam air filters bar none. I have used their products and can vouch for the quality and performance improvement factor. I have also seen dyno comparison tests between ITG and K&N drop-in filters and ITG typically provides a 2-3hp gain over the K&N. Although both filters are oiled the ITG doesn't seem to bleed oil through to the MAF/clean air side like the K&N filters can. I realize that 2-3 hp gain over K&N isn't huge but if I had my choice ITG would be the one.

In addition ITG also makes some excellent oiled foam racing cone filters. I had one installed in a CF CAI in my MCoupe, and was extremely happy with the performance gains and quality of product.

Anyway ITG would like to get a look at an EVO 8 to take measurements for filter kit development.I believe they are interested in both drop-in and racing filter applications.

I have been talking with a gentleman at ITG by the name of Stuart Fedden. ITG is located in Coventry , and Stewart can be reached at this email address stuart@itgairfilters.com. Stuart mentioned free product for providing assistance with the project.

I know there are a few folks from the UK that peruse this site. Hopefully someone will take interest and we will all end-up with another filter/intake option! If not.....at least I tried!

Should someone decide to contact Stuart feel free to reference my name and email.
