Looks lovely Jim, will you own it long enough for anyone else to see it!?

Probably not.

I swear if you don't change those front lights to standard units after all this, I'm going to drive to your house and stand next to it on your drive pretending to be sick for an hour and a half. (Maybe 2 hours if the Mrs will let me out for that long).

Ha ha ha, non cs people like the lights.

That amp is ancient, I bought one about 7 years ago!

Old skool.

Picked up my new intercooler today and also went to AST for some silicon reducers and vac pipe.

Should be back on it tonight so stand by for more needy updates!

Ok, so the intercooler was a little larger than we thought but we're going to make it work!

Trial fitted with some cable ties at the moment.

That coolers huge lol, will it need mapping again?

Might be a bit more laggy with that cooler and cause a drop in boost pressure due to the small turbo?

Im sure it'll be reet.

The actual core is only 6" wider than the existing one. The way the pipes were located on the is set up, I'm pretty sure I was losing pressure before.
