You should see the front bumper where my dad slaughtered the license plate carrier, the JB weld is pornstar-hot compared to those shitty holes.

BTW, kinda off-topic on another thread... if I'm getting a low oil pressure light, that couldn't be a factor of me deleting my SAI, could it?

Sai and oil pressure have nothing in common. Do some seafoam and see what happens.

Okay. I didn't hear any knocking (I have a thread posted a little below this one) but I guess there's no way around it...


What's weird is, I ran rich for a couple of minutes and I had a rough idle, but as soon as we temporarily fixed my outlet hose, I drove home just fine (I was going 15mph in a 35 to avoid ANY boost) and the next day I fixed it by buffing the outlet hose out with a 1.75" steel straightpipe, then clamping it down very tightly. I drove it around the block, tried boosting, and it worked just fine. No light, no problems. About 15 minutes later, I drive it to work (not hard at all, I was not even boosting at all) and park. Couple hours later, I repark my car to the front of the store, and I get that light. No knocking though. [&:]

On top of doing the intercooler, I also got new tail lights, courtesy of a straight-swap from Josh![sm=wootwoot.gif]











Dun dun dun... think of it as a striptease!





I forgot some of the top clips, but I'm going to shave those off when I get a chance to.
















Okay so it's definitely not the cleanest; nor is it photoshoot quality, but I didn't have the right angles to work with. I just figured I should stop teasing you guys. I'm going to get a euro plate to cover those ugly holes, and I'm going to saw off the top clips of the bumper, then I'll take some photoshoot quality pics.

LOL... Hey for doing it in a day it turned out pretty good! Are you happy with the results? And can you feel a difference power wise?

Did you lose any boost?

Josh and less_of_me:

I lost some boost, obviously, but the response time is so much quicker, and it pulls a lot stronger in the higher RPMs. I like it a lot.

Looks good, just make sure that intercooler core does not touch the ac radiator.

Why is that? Mine does and I have not noticed anything wrong.
