Evo X upgrades

Where did you mount then new BCS? Sometimes the 3-ports can make noise like that when mounted directly to the frame. Get a rubber or silicone gromet (or make one) and put that inbetween the BCS and the frame, should quiet it down quite a bit.

Thanks for the ideas. I had Shane install it and haven't taken the time to admire his work yet.

I bought a turbo blanket and am going to trim back the stock heat shield to try to cure the vibration against the downpipe. I'll take a peek at it while I'm working back there.

I'm thinking about having DB do the install of my suspension upgrades in early Nov (when I get back from vacation). Nice looking shop and a good group of guys there.

The 3-port install looks very professional, as you'd expect. Shane put it right where the stock solenoid was, reusing the bracket. The difference is that the stocker vented into the turbo inlet and Shane plugged that hole and the 3-port is now venting to atmosphere.

I've decided that I like the noise...just another touch of mean. I had some teenagers at the gas station rubbernecking today. Must admit, I like that now and then...makes the effort feel worthwhile.
