I just had the intercooler piping redone by street tuned and it flows nice. Here are some pics Old piping ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/IMG_0401.jpg](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/IMG_0401.jpg) New piping ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/engine.jpg](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/engine.jpg) ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/engine2.jpg](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/engine2.jpg) ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/frontcar.jpg](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/frontcar.jpg) I need to get it tuned and she will surprise some folks. ---

Sounds like it’s pretty badass. Let us know how it performs when you have it tuned/dyno’d. Digging the wheels :tup: ---

Well, it dynoed 400 at 12 psi before I bought it.That was with stock internals and cams. I am expecting to run 18 psi on pump and 25 on race gas. I should get around 500 on pump gas. We will see if I run out of injector but the haltech system has a nice nitrous function which I plan on using by the end of july. The engine can safely run up to 7800 rpm’s now and will hold over 800 hp but the turbo is the limiting factor. ---

Yeah the wheels are nice and they don’t need spacers. ---

Looks like a PITA to hide wiring in that bay, Sounds like a stupid fast car though. ---

amazing… Brian’s was my roomate for two years and this thing never runs… I move out and it instantly comes together and works great… if I’d known that was all you needed I would have moved out ages ago!!! I got a ride in this car and it’s pretty quick even untuned and without any real boost… the boost his quicker than my car with a much larger turbo. ---

Wheels really complement that body style. Updates it perfectly. ---

I think so if I remember correctly… the car had some serious home depot racing parts which Brian has done a good job of replacing. ---

It was heat wrap or something. I actually polished the piping today and it looks a lot better. I got rid of most of the stock sensors so mine is easier to work on. A stock one is terrible to work on. Look at this mostly stock engine bay. ![http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/redZ008.jpg](http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/zmainiac/redZ008.jpg) A little more cluttered eh.
