Thumbs down The worst part I ever purchased for my Evos

19 March 2006 UPDATE: PLEASE READ FIRST!!


Before you keep reading keep in mind that I and the vendor had and agreement and that the pictures that you are about to see were taken from a defective manufacturing process.

The vendor admitted that accidentally this part was built bellow quality standards and vendor is working on fixing the issue not just for me but for future Evo customers.

Keep in mind that the vendor admits that this was an isolated case and that he will warranty defective parts in the future. With this in mind please disregard any negative comments on the manufacturing of this LICP.

The customer will install the same replacement part.

You always heard that one image is worth 1000 words.. well here are the images of my recent Evo 9 upgrade mod. It is in my opinion one of the worst upgrade quality part I have ever seen!!

Here are some more... Also, I want to mentioned that within the shiping box there was another empty box which I assumed it was perhaps for the clamps or any kind of hardware...


PIC#1 Shows you that even the stock Intercooler pipe is bigger in diameter

PIC #2 Shows you the pipe that connects to the turbo, as you can see it is oval. the one on the right is the stock.

Pic #4 and#5 shows you the empty box within the shipping box which I assumed it was intended for hardware/clamps

I mean, Cmon guys, you can't be selling crap like that for the Evos man!! I have all the right in the world to talk smack about this vendor. The parts were absolutely 3rd world quality.

Even the diameter was smaller in both sides than the stock Evo 9 piping. Have you guys seen the hose cuts? it looks like they cut the hoses with a bread knife..

I am very disappointed and I have the right to publicly announced it. I normally don't trasj the vendors but this is an insult to me.
