not too shabby at all.
interesting choice to have no airflow to the fmic.
also the pipe coming under the K member, if your lowered at all your going to wish you had it come up alot quicker than you did. not a big deal to fix if you hit it too much.
nice stealth place for the meth tank.
good job.

I stuck a hose clamp on mine where it hits the ground over a hard bump with the worm screw down. I lose a hose clamp or 2 every week but my pipe is still in decent shape
Not to nitpick but I think the turbo is mounted too low.We ussually spin them up until they are .5" from the heat shield.That one looks level with the rear fully extended which would hang under the rear when on the ground.

Guess his radiator works in a vacume as well. It's know to work like this, but rad gets less airflow as it takes a higher PSI to cross the increased fin area. I would be more concerned with efficiency in and airflow threw the intercooler as it seem a bit small. Cant really see a nice pic of the intercooler itself, sort of looks like a 2 core procharger unit. Good job man keep it up

in the pics its sitting behind the support with no holes, thus the no airflow comment. it would be too far forward to get much if any of the air deflected up from the radiator.
for comparisons sake on my setup with the more common IC in the front with the cut bumper support behind, crusing down the freeway outside temp 64, IAT reads 66, short blasts at 5.5 psi IAT's stay the same or actually drop 2 degrees. thats a far cry from the 28 degree increase they are seeing. and yes I have the datalogs to prove it if you wish to see them.
so you can save the
I wasn't dissing his setup, just saying it was an interesting choice. I can fully understand doing it if the owner has no desire to cut up his car. they are just practicing a little give and take.
