Ordered EVERYTHING today!
Ok here it goes:
Crazy Steve's Intercooler......descently priced, I like the looks of it, & it sounds like it should perform just as good as all of the aftermarket intercoolers available.
ZZP Upper IC Pipe with Silicone Couplers.....a little on the expensive side....but it looks more like a factory piece and I've heard nothing but good reviews.
ZZP Catless Downpipe with the Angled O2 Bung......I've heard that this mod by far is one of the best, most cheapest mods available. I've read that the turbo spools much faster and a pretty good amount of h.p. is gained out just a downpipe. I also checked a few local shops to see if they would install it.....90% of them said "no, we could get shut down and be fined $1000's of dollars for doing that". I found one shop that said no problem and they will install it for $30 bucks. Sounds like a winner to me
I'm already equipped with a custom Trifecta Tune & the GMS1 (which I'm having a few problems with right now) but hopefully we'll be putting down some descent power with the mods
After I get everything installed...then I'll install the TTR Upper Engine Mount

And I thought my Visa card was smoking after putting new tires on my plane last week, quite the shopping spree, but like they say "speed costs money, so how fast do you want to go?".

I didn't see it mentioned, but make SURE you get the Tbolt clamps with the IC piping kit. Better to do it right the 1st time than have a hose pop off under boost and redo everything. One "extra" thing you may want to consider: get a 2 1/2" to 2 1/4" reducer silicone coupler and use that at the intercooler to lower pipe connection. It's extra insurance that the connection will stay put and not blow off under boost.
