Cold Air Intake for Mitsubishi Lancer (2008-2015) EVO 10 2.0T Turbo Engine

Performance Cold Air Intake System for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X – Maximum Airflow & MAF Sensor Safety

The Evolution X represents the final chapter of Mitsubishi's rally-bred legend—a turbocharged monster that dominated from Pikes Peak to the streets of Tokyo. But even legends have limitations, and the factory intake is one of them. This cold air intake system strips away the restrictive OEM components and replaces them with a high-flow 3.0" intake pipe and dedicated heat shield, giving your 4B11T turbo the unrestricted airflow it craves.

What sets this system apart is the dry filtration media. Unlike oiled filters that can contaminate your Mass Air Flow sensor and trigger limp mode, this dry filter keeps your MAF readings clean and consistent. The kit also includes an upgraded 2.5" upper intercooler pipe to smooth out the charge-air path between your turbo and intercooler, reducing turbulence and improving overall efficiency. The result? Sharper throttle response, smoother power delivery, and that aggressive induction roar that reminds everyone this is no ordinary Lancer.

Key Features

• Dry Filtration Technology: High-flow dry air filter eliminates MAF sensor oil contamination risk
• 3.0" High-Volume Intake Pipe: Powder-coated aluminum construction replaces restrictive factory tubing
• 2.5" Upper Intercooler Pipe Upgrade: Improves charge-air flow between turbo and intercooler
• Dedicated Heat Shield: Isolates filter from engine bay heat soak for cooler, denser intake charge
• Enhanced Turbo Spool: Reduces intake restriction for improved turbocharger efficiency
• OEM MAF Compatible: Works with factory MAF housing for accurate airflow readings
• No Tune Required: Designed to operate within factory ECU parameters

Confirmed Fitment

2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (2.0T Turbocharged):

• Evolution X GSR (5-speed manual)
• Evolution X MR (6-speed twin-clutch SST)
• Note: Built specifically for Lancer Evolution X models (GSR and MR)

Installation & ECU Reset

Before installation, disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected for at least 60 seconds after completing the install. This ECU reset allows the computer to adapt to the increased airflow and prevents potential check engine light errors. Always work on a completely cool engine. Professional installation is recommended due to the performance nature of this system.

Common Questions

Will this cold air intake fit my 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X?
Yes, this system is built for 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (Evo 10) models with the 4B11T 2.0L turbocharged engine, including both GSR 5-speed manual and MR 6-speed twin-clutch SST trims.

Will this kit fit a Lancer Ralliart or standard non-turbo Lancer?
This system is engineered specifically for the 2008-2015 Lancer Evolution X 2.0T (GSR and MR) and its factory turbo and intercooler layout.

What is included in the package?
The kit includes a 3.0" powder-coated aluminum intake pipe, a 2.5" upper intercooler pipe, a high-flow dry cone air filter, a custom-fit heat shield, heavy-duty silicone couplers, stainless steel clamps, and all required mounting hardware.

Does this intake require an ECU tune or oiled filter maintenance?
It is designed to operate within factory ECU parameters using the stock MAF housing without requiring a tune, and the dry cone filter media requires no oil—simply tap out accumulated debris during routine inspections.

What should I do before starting the installation?
Always work on a completely cool engine and disconnect the negative battery terminal before installation, leaving it disconnected for at least 60 seconds after finishing so the ECU can adapt to the increased airflow.
