IS that the V-SPL? I am after the same one. Did you have to do any cutting for it to fit?

evo452- the plate I've had for over 12 years to rub it in, the nose mask is to help keep the rock chips off the nose.....I drive 400 highway miles a week commuting to work

lil'evil evo-Yes it is and no cutting, I did not even take the bumper off, did it all from underneath major PITA but I did not want to be removeing the whole bumper assembly. The piping is real nice if you are planning on keeping the stock turbo set-up. But for me it actually turned out useless because it does not match up to my Buschur500 turbo kit on either end.........OH well. You get what you pay for now I need to have Turbotrix rig up some piping for me.

eclipsegs2k1-Thank You. Those tails I did myself with about $10 spent on 1 can of spray paint, 1 sheet of sandpaper, and a tube of black silicone.OHH, and LOTS of patience with a heat gun it is much easier than the BAKING in the oven, I've heard........

ALL OTHER GUYS OUT THERE= Go for the Buschur front mount!!! It was specifically designed for the EVO: stock or WITH ANY of their turbo kits, trust me the Greddy core is beautiful and my EGT temps went down drastically over stock but for the money just go for the BUSCHUR. I know I'm kicking myself about it. I bought the Greddy cheaper BUT now I'm spending more on piping custom built......Listen and learn from my mishap.....GOD BLESS!!!!!!!

Did someone delete my post? It was in good fun moderators.

Anyhow, you car looks like shyt. Take those stickers off the wheels! And that Bra, jesus, I don't even want to go there.

So you ordered a BR500 for that sled? When are you getting this tuned, I'll have to drive down to see this beast run!

And if you want to make big power on pump gas, like 500 on 93 octane big, pm me. I'm selling my Methanol injection kit to pay for JIC coilovers.

lower temp intake air reduces the chance of knock and lowers the overall temp of the combustion chamber
