Default custom nose, intercooler piping, STS

Project we have been working on for a while finally about done. Just a little cleaning up to do and need to cut the radiator support and install it. So far the car feels unreal.

isnt that turbo really small for a 408? That bumper isnt my style but should be a sick setup none-the-less!

It works really well with the STS.
No issue getting air across the IC.

That's a sweet looking install! What's the final boost/hp Christen's looking for? The piping to the TB looks like they all should, totally going to "where"! You have the under piping tucked up perfectly. GJ, Billy. You got pm.

i see the brackets to the intercooler (the ones welded to it) are aluminum, do you how do you have the top bracketed to the car? Id be afraid the aluminum brackets would sag over time.

What can I say? Completely blown away by that setup. I like it. Another grade A job by Billy. Hey, Billy, I'm stuck I have about 5-600$ and I can't decide if I want a TC or an alky kit from Alkycontrol.com. Any suggestions?

Justin, the stall is a great item to add as is the alky. The alky will make it safer too.
I would do the alky first, just to make it safer and it will make a difference in power.

The top brackets are alot stronger and made of steel. The bottom was originally from someone else. We moved the intercooler further out in the nose and used them just to keep the bottom still. It is very sturdy.

paint your intake manifold silver, it will compliment the red better.

Totally unrelated, but what's the story with those headlights? I've always thought about doing standard headlights on my '00 Ws6 but never seen any for sale. Are those aftermarket, or a custom job? Thanks!

way too expensive and cant see well at night. They are aftermarket. I think Suncoast Creations has them, but not sure. These came from Breathless Performance.
