Took me and a freind about 4 hrs. We didn't plasma cut out the bumper steel frame.So for rite now I can't lower it too... Did you notice the Intercooler pipes are at the top. I'm running it up side down. If I don't lower it I'm running it like this untill I go with a Sportier Bumper, like a TurboS one. Is your new Turbo in yet?!?!

Dude, they're takin forever on my turbo!! What was supposed to be 3 days has now been 2 weeks. It seems like everyday they run into a new problem. Today it was the gasket between the turbo and piping. Supposedly it should be here tommorow and they will finish it then but I've been told tommorow to many times to count. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Btw does your car drive any different with the new fmi?

Today I replaced a couple of hose clamps that were to big! So I don't have any ZINGGG anymore. I feel a little lag do too the Intercooler, the EGT. temps don't raise nearly as fast or as high. May turn it over soon and raise it so I can Lower it. If I back in my driveway on a angle the FMI. clears by a inch or less. Thanks for the Deal...

I thought it was, but it was the hose comming off the intercooler pipe going to my N75Race valve... I'm going replace the small vaccum hoses this week with the silicon ones. Do you remember if you went up a size to 4mm. or did you stay with the 3mm like factory size?!?! Are you still running the intercooler & bumper the same way now? I've got to remount mine so I can lower it 1.6"s. I noticed in your pic's you had her dyno'd. What HP. & TQ#s. did you end up with? Just put on a MBC. So I can dial the Boost were I want it. Currently holding 18 psi. to redline...your car is HOT...
