If you don't want to cut your front bumper you can get one of these.



Let me know if you want one.

The aftercooler is good but only if you put the tank in the drivers compartment. Putting it in the engine bay heats the fluid extremely fast. If you fill it with ice it will be melted by the time you stage.

I vote for the cx racing kit. There are plenty of people running them with very good things to say. I dont think you can do any better for the money.

Click to expand...

I was just checking out your mods, Definetly get a smaller pulley to maximize your boost, you will loose 4lbs with the fmic, with your pulley you will be pulling like 3-4lbs of boost. go with at least a 3.3" or a 3.1" if you want to be a bit more agressive. Good luck with install.

By the way black silcone couplers ftw!


Oxford sorry about the SOM. I voted for your car, again. Your getting it in May!
