Damn, nice setup. I remember you posting up pics of the car awhile ago, and I was impressed then.

Lot of nice features in your setup. Very clean as well.

Doesn't look like it would be too hard to change plugs from the bottom, no? That's how I do mine now anyway.

What size are those turbos again?

Looks good. I was planning on using braided teflon hose to relocate mine, I didn't even think of alum. tubing. Did you just weld the pieces?

Is the radiator getting enough air to cool the motor with the I/C in that particular spot? Have you guys tested it in the heat ever?

Coop is right, i never could even tell the diff. between heat before and after the turbo kit install. Still runs the same temp or within 5 degrees anyway

Where did you buy that intercooler from or did you make it? I would like to go intercooler on my car also but didn't want to screw with the b.s. that was involved with it. This looks very nice and I like the way it is mounted.

Very very nice setup!! Lots of nice fabrication. I have extended lines similar to yours with the accumulator mounted in the nose same side except mine is a camaro. Nothing like a turbo with cold air blowin.

The intercooler was built from a vertical core by the company that did my twin kit. The only mod's to the car consisted of cutting the underside of the bumper cover and cutting the lower part of the front bumper support (which is still in the car)

You think they would make another one? I like that setup alot better aint gotta screw with alot of **** just to get one in and get to keep front plate and fog's. If so if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it?

Thanks,
