The day was spent at 034 Motorsport. Mike did a bang up job getting the plumbing done for the turbo. I got the intercooler mounted where I think it will work out really well. You can see I cut out the space behind the IC where the hot air will exit through the stock grill. Cutting those out also gives me access to that compartment to get the LEDs installed for my 3rd brake light. There is more lag now as the path is longer and the volume larger, but the power just keeps coming. On one end the alumunim is hot, and on the outlet side it's totally cold! When the GT28RS is installed, it will be a necessity, so I might as well get used to a little more lag now.
