i got the one for the 03 evo, but my 05 was not affected.

those affected would have received the TSB in the mail shortly after it was announced. if you didnt and would like peace of mind, visit any service department. when you give them your VIN, if your car is affected, it will come up in the superscreen.

if it doesnt, you are good to go.

just a word to those who are affected by the turbo coolant hose - the dealership will replace that hose under the TSB, but you WILL loose coolant when they remove the hose. it will spill and stink in the engine bay (i knew a couple who had it done). the coolant lost WILL NOT be replaced by the dealer, so if your car is affected, buy a jug of coolant before dropping your car off to have the coolant hose replaced. coolant is a consumable that is not covered under the TSB.
