[DDGDSM]

If you have any more questions about this kit, be sure to check out this link:

There are 7 pages of reviews, write-ups and opinions. I read the whole post and found it to be the best info when decided to get this kit or not.

Personally from what I've read, I think this kit is the best bang for the buck and I've heard almost nothing but good things about it. I'll be purchasing this kit when I have the cash (hopefully soon) and let people know what I think of it during install and after install.

Hope this helps, if you haven't seen this post already!!

^^^agreed, read that post. I have personally installed/dealt with the kit and for the price it's a damn good deal considering you get good couplers and clamps. I did have a fair share of fitment issues and the weld on the j-pipe cracked pretty quickly, but there are plenty of good stories out there. Just read that post and decide for yourself.

I just got this kit. Everything seemed to be going well with the removal of old and install of new.... until I got to the upper IC pipe. It's kinda difficult to get it to fit, probably have to cut the bottom of the splash gaurd so I can move it around better, like I had to on the drivers side. It says you may need to modify some things here and there.... very true.

The only problem I have at this point is trying to get the hot side (driver's side) IC pipe to connect to my T-25. I guess ETS has a solution, but it's $65 plus shipping. It's called the V-pipe. Takes the outlet of the T-25 and 180's it back towards the drivers side, but stays on top of the cross-member I believe. I just may have to buy it for now, instead of shelling out $650 for an Evo III 16G right now to use the included J-Pipe.

You should also see on the link I posted (back a few pages) where someone had a problem with BOV fitment. I did as well. The adjustment screw does touch the hood, but the hood will still latch if pushed down. I never slam my hood, so what damage could it really do?!

Hope this helps.

I've had this kit on my car since last summer. It's good for the price. I will say that the hotside pipes have some fitment issues. It seems like one pipe they sent me was too long. Also the J-pipe will not seal on this thing. Maybe I have done something wrong but it continuously leaks when I do a boost leak test. I plan to clock my turbo and get rid of the j-pipe altogether. I'd say for function its great! Just need to spend some time tweaking things.

 

[Red 4G63]

I totally agree ^^^^. Tweaking things is a must!

Also, I just emailed ETS about the T-25 kit for those of us who want to keep our T-25's for now. I will post back when I hear from them on status of parts.

Update: Scratch going with the ETS kit. Not worth the money when I should just upgrade the turbo instead of spending money on pipes I won't need later.

I've decided to go with an MHI EVO III 16G w/ install kit and SS o2 recirc. This way I don't have to mess around with piping and the cross memeber and crap. It was bound to happen, so I just did it now rather than later.

If anyone needs to know, SBR will cut you a deal on what you need, instead of everything you don't need to install the 16G on a 2g car. Just FYI!
