So, we went to lunch saturday, at Subway While in line with my cohort I get a call from a friend who wanted to know if I could use an SRT4 front mount setup. Subway kid overhears this while toasting my turkey bacon sub. I get off the phone and before I can resume converastion with my friend who is in line in front of me, the subway kid starts in with “car talk”. So, you got a SRT4? Nope. Oh, why you buying a innercooler anyways? Get a precooler, alot better. Wat? Precooler man, all the turbo honda guys round here run em. Orly? Yea dude, run that shit at the end of your CAI, cools the air so it don’t heat up the turbo. You mean before the turbo? Yea, shit, you’re new to this shit huh? Yea… show me. We take our togo sandwiches, and head outside to a 95 dx coupe, flat blacked, steelies, more rot then you would find between Jay Wonch’s legs. Pop the hood and the kid is running a T3 turbo kit that looks like it couldn’t even pass for a $200 kit on eBay. Sure enough, he’s running a DSM side mount at the end of some POS CAI pipe, and has a K&N attached to the inlet of the IC. And… he has a probe in the CAI pipe. Whats the probe for? Its meausres my air temps man, the needle don’t even move since I ran this setup. Really? Yea, barely gets over 100, never gets anywhere near 1000! Wat? How high does the gauge go? 1800 man, this shit is a reaaaaal cooler setup. ---
