drove the car for the first time today. and i cant really telly ou how fast i thought it was, the tires wouldnt hold. hehe.
at about half throttle once boost was starting to build the car was stupid.
i did one full throttle shift, 1-2nd and i quickly was shown where the ditch to my right was, so i let out.
hopefully next sat with a good set of tires and a trans not committing suicide i can get some runs in at the track and get some times posted

Looks great by the way

It is tapped into the middle of the pan near the top rail. Some people do them in the front and I have noticed during hard braking some cars will back-up and smoke. Based on that I put it in the middle so it should not back up at anytime.

Wastegate is a Tial 44mm.

Thanks.

Do you have any miles on the setup yet? If so any issues with cooling or a/c function. Also those are stock motor mounts right? And did you have to do anything special with the p/s lines?

Sorry for all the questions.

Motor mounts are stock, a set of Poly's would not hurt, and we just carefully bent and trimmed the stock ps lines with the cooler to work.

Any painting makes the intercooler less efficient and we really arent going for stealth with the open downpipe anyways, lol. IMO, I like the way it looks.
