Do you have an aftermarket downpipe? You need either a downpipe designed for the Evo3 O2 housing, or modify your existing downpipe. Also, whatever intake pipe you have *might* be too small, but I can't remember how much bigger the Evo3 compressor inlet is. It might not be so much as to require a different intake. Other than that, everything else should work.

I have a aftermarket downpipe and a custom intake, but coolant and oil lines should bolt on fine?

 

[SouthCaliVR4]

you should replace your oil feed line & may wish to consider a new oil return as well. Otherwise a evo3 16g bolts in just as the fact one did.

using the evo 3 o2 housing will require some slotting of the downpipe flange holes to bolt up proper.

Thanks guy. how long you think it will take?? And do I have to remove the radiator?

 

[2of9]

it's optional to remove the radiator. you WILL have alot more room to play with if you remove your radiator. Switching out the turbos was actually very easy. The first time I did it, it took my brother and I 5 hours, easily 3 if we didn't run into some small issues.

Sweet thanks, last? Can I run 20psi with 550injectors & fuel pump

 

[fuel]

might hit the ECU imposed boost cut around 17-18psi.
