As a designer of ODPS I want to thank all the customer who do have EVOI and EVOII on their cars.
I would also like to clarify several things:
1. My C32 was used quiet extensively at the track and this is where the need for extra cooling came from. Most likely one will not run into this issues if the car is driven moderately, even in hot weather. However, personally, I like to push things a bit and under hard use Intake temps were getting out of hand, adding extra cooling capacity has definitely helped keep them under control.
2. Solid crank pulley. My C32 now has 103,000 miles. 100,000 miles are with solid pulley. Car runs as strong as ever, no problems. However, to provide a comfort level, evosport will be releasing dampened crank pulley very shortly. It is going on my C32 next week for final testing.
One can find more info and history of ODPS development by doing a serach under "R&D", there are about 8-9 threads on this topic.
Thank you for listening.

I'm just about ready to go with Evosport, but they are in Cali and I'm in Michigan. Topping that, there is an excellent Renntech dealer/installer only 5 miles from my house (they did a great job putting in the Quaife LSD).
If I want to go with Evo, is it even possible from here? Vadim, who do I speak to now over there since you've moved on?

It would a nice deal for everybody.
Similar to Windows OS, you can buy an upgrade at a lower price than the full installation. just a suggestion...

I did it at my bodyshop...the actually spent quite a while since they are not tuning shop. They started like afternoon, then finished the next day afternoon...
The crank pulley was very hard to remove, but somehow they removed it.
Then for the windshield upgrade, you need to remove the bumper.
