It seems like they both use the same parts. The BoostEvolution one comes w/ more. It comes w/ bigger Intercooler piping 2.5" (compared to 2" from Hotimport) has a bigger downpipe 3.0" (compared to 2.5" from Hot Import), and this one includes the emanage Support Tool w/ the Ingition and Injector harness (the other one has just the Support Tool.) it also seems to come w/ a better BOV Turbo XS RBV-25.

It doesn't come w/ free shipping, but I emailed Hotimport and they charge $50 for a bigger down pipe. I'm sure they'll charge at least $50 more for Bigger intercooler piping. The BoostEvolution guys seems to be easier to contact. The Hotimport is email only. All in all, they are both good buys. I'm going to call Boostevolution and see how much shipping is. I'll get it tomorrow if it all looks good.:wave:

Yeah! me too! that's Y I just bough it!:D
I got it off boostevo for $2935 w/ the Greddy TYpe S BOV and shipping! It saves you over $150 if you go with boost evo. Man! I can't wait! NOw the only thing i've been worndering about is how am I going to run the piping for the intercooler? I see no way of getting the pipe from the intercooler to the intake mani. They said I won't have to reposition the battery, I think i'm going to have to cut. Can the pipe run under the car into it?:dunno:

lowered cars and extra stuff under the carriage don't mix.

Yeah, I figured out that much. I'm going to raise it up some since the springs I have now are way too low. I'll see how the thing installs once I get it.

just move the battery, its easier to work on your engine that way, and it makes the IC piping 10 times easier. you spent over 2grand on a turbo kit, I think you can swing another $50-$100 for a battery relocation kit, its def worth it.
