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

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.

Muahahaha! Looks awesome!

**cmspaz** · 10-29-2010

You put a tennis ball through it yet?

Rmondoh · 10-29-2010

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

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.

**Kracka** · 10-31-2010

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

And I'll be there for every bit of it!

cobb tuned? They must be good if your going to get tuned by them.

They are pretty darn good. They have done all my tuning. You can check out the detailed post I made about my mod progress/process at this particular post:

Why won't they tune a MBC? Shouldn't it be customer preference? Seems kinda ghey to me.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 11-01-2010

He can get more midrange and maybe more top end boost with the EBC though, the stock X turbo drops boost like a rock a little after spoolup and needs a lot of overcompensation to help it.

Tuner choice...it is what it is I guess. My car just isn't happy right now and whatever it is, all the cars that Cobb tunes churn out great results. I've talked to the guys up at Cobb quite a few times now and I do trust the work their tuner (Calvin) does.

Nothing against Shane at all; he did wonderful work on my IX and Janelle's WRX and if he wasn't 1,000 miles away I'd be going back to him with my revised setup. I just have no interest in driving up in winter/potential winter conditions on worn stock Advans. I will be sad to lose my ECUFlash/Tephra though! I suppose I could always carry the tune over from the AP to ECUFlash and still take advantage of Tephra

GG_9_SE · 11-01-2010

That's true, but will they only tune an X with a EBC, or do they require all the cars they tune to have them.

3-port or stock BCS on X's and Subarus. I honestly don't know when it comes to older Evos and the other cars they support (G/Z, Si, MS3, GTR, etc).

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 11-01-2010

They dropped support for the Evo 8/9 Accessports a bit ago, maybe they don't want to touch them at all.

DoughtCom · 11-01-2010

WTF You're going to AP? Man first you go from a IX to a X and now this, I just don't know you anymore Hughes

They still tune 8/9's with the AP's. They actually have a customer looking for one so he can get tuned if anyone knows of a used one for sale...

GG_9_SE · 11-01-2010

Wasn't there an AP for sale on evomn a few months back?
