I was able to get at the 2 screws from underneath as well as the licp hose clamps. I just unscrewed the lower grill and used a screwdriver and the rubber hangers popped right off.

While I'm sure it's very possible, the LICP was a complete pain in the ass even with the bumper off, I can only imagine the level of difficulty with it on. Either way, glad you were able to get it done, enjoy the increased cooling capacity.

i actually had to use a jack and foot power to make the evo X LICP fit. its seemed a bit large or slightly off in placement, but if youve ever done this sort of thing before? parts dont always just pop right in even when designed to... it was easily dealt with... less stress on the turbo now too!! hoping for slightly better mileage?

I was able to fanagle it out and the new one in with just the bumper off. It's probably the biggest PITA in doing an intercooler setup on this car. Luckily, the OEM EvoX LICP is good for about 350-400whp from what I read, and this car will not come close to that. It's there to stay, lol.
And +1, you won't see any big improvements, if at all, with using a bigger IC and getting better gas mileage.

Best obviously is to cut the bumper for some EVO X style holes.

BOV return pipe
Sorry to bring up an old thread.
Not sure if I was supposed to get the BOV return pipe from the Evo X for the Evo X LICP. This is what mine looks like. It doesn't really match my RA hose/pipe where it connects to the BOV return pipe. Just curios if yours looks different or what did you do to make it work

Looks the same. The teturn pipe came with the x licp when I bought mine.

Go to autozone and buy Dayco hose 71967. Does EXACTLY what you need it to do, and it is cheap....

I always include that hose when you buy an intercooler kit from me, its one of the main advantages i provide.. but yeah youll need a new radiator hose to link the licp to the bov... The ra one, can be cut up to fit, its just a bit awkward, and reduces your ability to resell your kit to a reg lancer guy..

Thanks everyone! I bought it from someone at evox that was parting out his car. Didn't know I needed that part also. I wish it this was included in the info for swapping to the X LICP.
