Hey guys kit is on the car and I can say I am absolutely wrapped with the quality of the kit. Fitment is fairly simple and straight forward and compliments the engine bay fantastically. It truly is fantastic value for money guys! The car has been driven for half an hour this afternoon and not one sign of a pop off or problem with the kit at all. Cheers Steve

The piping has already started production and the intercoolers are almost complete. Once they're complete it takes 2 weeks to get here and then 1 week for customs. At this stage I'd say we're on target or close to. More pictures will be up in an hour :) Greg

Kit looks good and I like it how you have gone with a smaller height cooler so its tucked away better. I'm pretty sure a mate is getting on of thse off you so no doubt I'll have to give him a hand installing it. One suggestion if its not being done is to maybe weld some threaded bits like on the cooler onto the piping so you can bolt the breather pipes back on instrad of using a cable tie like in the pic.

PSI086 we quickly fitted the zip tie as I didn't have any lengths of rubber hose. I'm actually going to re route them so as to delete the metal pipes all together. It will be much neater that way! The cooler is a very snug fit behind the bar and doesn't overhang at the bottom. The pipes also tuck up at a nice height underneath the front of the car. So far I have put over 300k's on the kit with not one sign of any trouble at all. The car is not laggy and the cooler is doing it's job properly. Pipe in is lupe warm, pipe out is dead cold! The kit really does represent excellent value for money!

We were going to have provisions for this but it is so easy to replace the stock lines and it looks so much better that we decided to leave it out. Steve (YEP_boost) is going to replace the lines like what I have suggested. Quote: Originally Posted by YEP_boost PSI086 we quickly fitted the zip tie as I didn't have any lengths of rubber hose.

Great to hear that our sample kit is still going strong!! :) Quote: Originally Posted by rusty577 Hey brillant pictures greg! :D What sorta power increase did u get yep boost? Nice bay by the way (Wish mine looked as hot) Cant wait greg, Looks hot man . counting the days down Anymore news of how there going? Thanks again I didn't take the pictures so thank Steve (YEP_boost). It is hard to say how much of a power increase you will get as all cars will vary. If for example you have a completly stock setup and are running stock boost, decide to put a FMIC on, you may only see 10rwkw's more. If you have 15psi of boost, High flowed turbo, full exhaust system and then put the FMIC on you may see in excess of 20rwkw's. The results will really vary dramitically. The kits are still on schedule :) Greg Quote: Originally Posted by JETFJ Deposit Paid $100 Cheers JETFJ Thanks mate, I'll add you to the list now :)

Nice bay by the way (Wish mine looked as hot) Cant wait greg, Looks hot man . counting the days down Anymore news of how there going? Thanks again Hey thanks for the compliments about the bay. It has been a lot of hard work! Though I must admit Gregs pipes do certainly help with the overall look of the bay! The cooler looks very neat in the front bar as well! As for power increase it feels like it has gained around 5-10 rwkw and some torque considering the car runs Std ECU and 8psi. I hope to have it on the dyno in the coming month or so for a tune!
