Looks good. Did you pick up boost/power from the conversion (aftercooler to intercooler)?

No. I did the conversion when I had the T trim, I went from 12 lbs. to 9 initially. I then switched the MAF to the pressure side and got 11 lbs.. The IAT's dropped 40 to 50 degrees so that needs to be figured in. The aftercooler setup would heat the water so much that after one blast that was it until you either iced the water down or let it sit for a long while. The air/air is pretty much ready to go almost immediately. If I would have stayed with the aftercooler I would have put on a larger water pump, heat exchager with a fan and a larger reservoir that held ice. I think that would probably do a nice job because it does appear to be less restrictive (or maybe it's the shorter run) than the front mount setup. When I did the YSi I also upgraded from the 3" OBX to the 4" so that might help some.

$800. PSJ, 2.75 pulley. Now I need to weld some piping to reduce the silicone couplers, maybe loose the MAF too.
