Are you having issues with heatsoak and high knock? Maybe you can get away with keeping the side mount and just getting some hard pipes that flow a little better? I know a few guys with their stock side mounts that are well into the 12's and breaking into the 11's. Maybe even just try adapting a 1g side mount.. I noticed a decent improvement I went from my stock 2g to a stock 1g intercooler even with the stock piping.
So far no problems with knock or heatsoak just RM, but I'm looking into that. I am going to be upgrading my turbo soon and I don't want any problems with heatsoak, I live in southern California and today it was 95+ degrees so this heat is another concern of mine. I already have the hard piping so now I just need a more efficient intercooler. I'll look into the SSAC kit.

No I mean't evo 3. Got a good line on them.
Haiku-rocket, are they the same style as the Evo 8/9? Do the end tanks angle down? Do you have any pictures? I went to your profile and couldn't find any.

My old GST had a Evo 8 FMIC with custom piping (easy). Piping and FMIC cost $150 all together, it held 25 psi perfect no problem daily. (6bolt swap, far from stock motor)
Nice picture Fear19. Do the fog lights have to be sacrificed? I just bought some replacements for mine

Sorry Haioku-rocket I just noticed I miss spelled your name.
