funny enough asked the same question to forge n radtec , they both sed they have designed one to bolt str8, but i cant see it being to hard to diy one if u got right tools might be trial n error doe

agree, id go ahead and do one if i knew the diameter and also like i say, what about catching the wheel, especialy when im running wider rims, ive only got a standar IC at the moment but bet it makes a difference

changing pancake pipe with defo make a difference but only when u running really high boost i was told but its on the tings to do list but i'm very happy with my fmic at moment, so i'm focus on the look n handling of my car first then i tackle performance. by the way paul ur car looks mints hopefully mine will get to that standard soon

Opposite to mine!

I have the facelft bumpers, one side of my lower Fog grill has an air intake, the other side has my Forge lower intercooler hose in your face!

Looks good though!

Last night me and M0rk took my car out for a data log.

Seems the Forge intercooler does its job nicely, intake temps were really low! Boost was spot on. how does yours feel after installing?

Oh and i found out my thermostat was nakered!! Doh!

Stage 2 soon then??

Haven't done any logs yet, I didn't tink I wud feel any difference because it was so cold out side anyway but throttle response is better n seem to have a bit more torque across the rev range more noticeable after about 4500 rpm it seems to rev more freely but need to do Logs to see how it's running.
