Lookin good! WGA crank mod will likely get you where you want to be, but it'll take away some of the linearity of the power curve. I don't think you'll be complaining :D

Biggest Evo X intercooler core on the market as far as I'm aware:

http://www.dsmstyle.com/photopost/data/641/0922001743.jpg

MAP prototype FMIC
20"x14"x3.5" = 980 ci

There are much bigger cores available for the VIII and IX, but the X has less space, but does utilize a much more effective endtank in/outlet design.
I still haven't installed it yet, but I did weigh it this weekend. It came in at 20.4 lbs. which is really light considering the size of this core. For comparison, the Perrin (cast end-tanks but a little smaller core) comes in at 22 lbs. The ETS 3.5" is 21 lbs. (sheet metal end-tanks and a fairly small core by comparison) and the AMS is 20 lbs. (cast end-tanks, medium size core).

My pre-install impressions of this thing are great! Nicely designed cast end-tanks, good quality core, and lightweight. Assuming this things fits well without trimming I plan to urge MAP to get this thing into full production.

More new stuff to install...

I got it uncoated so I can try a coating place in Arlington, TX. Nothing against MAP's coating, I just wanted to try out a local shop since people have been saying great things about it.

Oh wow, they actually changed the logo orientation! Did you specifically ask for that or not? I recall from the picture you linked me of Scheides' pipe, the logo is upside down once installed.

Looking forward to helping you install this and the FMIC! (well not really the o2/dp, but I WILL be there to help out regardless :))

LOL no, but it's a full 3" the entire way through including the flex section. Looking inside it, I was shocked and how smooth the interior of the flex was. I really like this piece, high quality fabrication and components went into it.

Yup, I did specify to flip the logo compared to Scheides' pipe.

Much appreciated :D Maybe we'll do the intercooler next weekend...not sure on the downpipe since I need to get it coated first. I might tackle the urethane exhaust hangars tomorrow before your tune when you're over for 3-port and BOV install.

GheyrodX will be going though some changes over these next two weeks:

intercooler
o2/downpipe
3-port (Cobb won't tune with a MBC)
Cobb tuned
