See not that much difference.  
Until you calculate actual flow area through the ends of the intercooler.
Evo = 31.625in^2
CTI = 51in^2
Wonder which one would support more power...

The bike was pretty cool. I found it ironic that the color almost perfectly matches the orange SRT.
The IC does noticably add power, even on the stock turbo. I know the stock turbo on an aftermarket turbo can restrict up to 25whp as I've seen a few dynos verifying that. The stock intercooler is TINY, haha. I was even surprised when I took it off. And yeah, it's pretty huge. We had to remove the mesh on the bumper cover because the crash bar stuck out so far to sit around the IC.

Think about cutting out the cross members of the front fascia to expose the whole IC to the air?
Maybe a nice wide pattern screen for rocks and stuff?
IF it gets flimsy, you might be able to support it with small aluminum struts or something.
Just a thought... And very nice.
Edit: Nevermind... I almost missed that support bracket/beam it in front of it with the front fascia off. It would look sillier with it wide open.

Yeah the bumper cover covers up the crash bar pretty well. All you can see is the corners of it on each side on the top. Other than that you wouldn't evne know it was there, and you barely notice the parts you can see. I like how it looks anyhow. I was pissed at first I had to take off the mesh, but now I'm cool with it.

That is alright. My stock Evo IC is rated up to around 400 HP......when I am done I only plan on 350. Nice streetable power.

Agreed. Mine is rated to around 300whp, so I'm more or less there. I've reached my first goal with my car. Next is the turbo upgrade and I just can't make up my mind. 58 trim turbo will make 350 with what I have. 50 trim ($200 more) will make at least 400. S3 will make probably in between. I don't want anything bigger than those three.

Well if you plan on driving this on the street do the 58 trim. With your stocker you are already having traction problems.

Traction problems with the stocker are because boost comes on so quick. Of the three options, I think the 58 trim spools the fastest, then S3 then the 50 trim. Although I should mention the 50 trim may spool the "slowest", but it's still full boost by 3200 RPM. If I go aftermarket I'm thinking 50 trim with a safe boost level as opposed to pushing the 58 trim fairly hard. I still don't know if I can pass up S3.
