Thats great!! Is it safe to assume this would work with the V6 aswell? Also, how close is it to the ground? Should we be worried about water? Thanks a lot.
Boosted Tech Cold Air Intake Fits
It's official, it fits 
The hardest part of the install was getting the small filter on the smog pump. It took almost half an hour. It was a bitch to get the pump back out then back in. Over all, no CEL, and now it has the woooooooosh sound. If you want to install it plan for 1-2 hours, if you have taken off your bumper before. If not, plan maybe an hour more.
Now for the heat shield. It has 2 pegs that are suppose to drop in where the stock box goes but they are too close together. I emailed Raul at Boosted Tech and told him it fits. I also told him that I will be taking the shield to my hot rod guy to have him cut off the posts then reweld then so they fit our cars. I also told him that I would mail it to him so he could officially be the seller of the first CAI for our rides, all he would have to do is make a different shield and he will be in business.
The memory card for my camera took a dump so I can't post all of the picts. The picts of the filter on the smog pump are gone I can't take anymore picts because I installed it then removed it and gave the car back to my Mom.

Cool, does the engine sound different or do you notice an increase in performance?pass-variant said:
dont knock it till you try it. a properly shielded evo intake (not just the evo supplied shield) is way better than stock box with stock shields and it uses plastic not metal tubing and it's much better quality plastic than stock. my stock box used to be burning hot to the touch, my evo with my custom heatshields after hours of driving stays almost outside air temp except if i've been sitting at idle for a while then i've recorded temps on the outside of the maf and intake tube at 98 deg F, 89 deg. F on the outside of the filter element. while driving i think the sound is awesome to. even in the summer heat i notice no downside to my evo intake. besides that the stock box is amongst the ugliest i've ever seen, no wonder why they put a cover on that thing
Perhaps its hot to the touch because the heat isn't being transferred to the air inside the box . . . . If its cool to the touch, then that heat has probably transferred to the air being sucked in.1.8tbeout said:dont knock it till you try it. a properly shielded evo intake (not just the evo supplied shield) is way better than stock box with stock shields and it uses plastic not metal tubing and it's much better quality plastic than stock. my stock box used to be burning hot to the touch, my evo with my custom heatshields after hours of driving stays almost outside air temp except if i've been sitting at idle for a while then i've recorded temps on the outside of the maf and intake tube at 98 deg F, 89 deg.

Sorry . . . but the EVO is not a true CAI, nor is the boosted tech.
The BMC CDA def is though.
