only part I dont get is why are you skimping on the intercooler when the rest of your build is top quality. I would never run a modded ebay intercooler when trying to make that kind of power.

You should get an actual nice unit from someone like PTE or something.

Why? as long as it doesn't restrict the flow the nitrous will get the air much cooler than even a "real" intercooler will ever be able too.

Kp has taken a EBAY intercooler quite far FWIW. Its about done now tho, but it has done pretty good.

Nice F2, sometimes I wish I would have gone to a bigger headunit instead of going turbo
