What does the ETS Upper Intercooler Piping Kit for CT9A improve?

The ETS Upper Intercooler Piping Kit for CT9A replaces factory charge piping with 3.0 inch mandrel bent stainless steel on a route more than two feet shorter. ETS rates the upper piping at over 12 percent more flow, and the shorter path means quicker spool and sharper throttle response.

Do I need to move the battery?

Yes. ETS states that the short route needs the ETS Small Battery Kit or a battery relocation. Plan the battery change at the same time as the piping so the car can be finished in one visit, and ask BA if you need the battery kit as well.

Which throttle body does it suit?

The kit is offered for the stock 2.75 inch throttle body or a 3.0 inch aftermarket unit. Choose the size that matches the car now, since the throttle body end of the pipe is built to that diameter and cannot be swapped later without a different pipe.

Which blow-off valve flange should I pick?

Order the flange that matches your valve, whether stock, TiAL, HKS or TurboSmart. Each is offered with or without a recirculation coupler, and ETS notes the recirculation option is only needed for the mini battery route. BA can help confirm the right choice before ordering.

Will it work with a speed density tune?

Yes. An IAT bung and plug come with the kit, so an intake air temperature sensor fits in the charge piping for a speed density setup, or the port can be plugged on a car that keeps the factory mass airflow setup.

Description

ETS 3.0-inch Short Route Upper Intercooler Piping Kit for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9

ETS’s 3.0-inch Short Route Upper Intercooler Piping Kit for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9 replaces the long, bend-heavy factory charge piping with mandrel bent stainless steel that takes the shortest practical path to the throttle body. It is built for the stock intake manifold, and ETS rates the upper piping at more than 12 percent more flow than the factory parts, which sharpens spool and helps a bigger turbo deliver its boost.

Shorter Routing

ETS designed its Evo piping to cut out unnecessary bends in the factory routing. In the full ETS system the charge expands right off the turbo elbow, replacing the 1.75-inch factory pipe, which ETS credits with about 15 hp. After the intercooler the path runs around the core support, over the transmission and up to the throttle body, making the Upper Intercooler Piping Kit for CT9A route more than two feet shorter than stock.

Configuring the Kit

Choose the throttle body size, 2.75-inch stock or 3.0-inch aftermarket, and the blow-off valve flange for a stock, TiAL, HKS or TurboSmart valve, with or without a recirculation coupler. An IAT bung and plug are included.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
