Talking My new Big Beauty

What do you guys think?




Isn't she BIG?

The guys in the shop were saying like "it is as big as the largest one I have installed, but like one inch thicker".

I took it to a shop. They did all the work.

Contrary to urban legends, between this huge intercooler and the intake, the car has less turbo lag now and feels with a lot more torque down.

Are the Urban Legends you are referring to dyno plots? Sorry I missed that this was an empirical test, and the car FEELS faster down low.

Yeah, sorry, but you didn't gain spool from a gigantic FMIC.

The stock intercooler has restriction 1-2 psi at 2000 rpm. And yes, the intake is the awesome HKS RS which gives better responce.

The point is that now I have less turbo lag and a huge intercooler.
What I meant by urban legend is that people always assume that you can not install the biggest intercooler you can because the turbo lag will be TERRIBLE, and this is only true in flap style air flow meters.
The car FEELS very nice now. And it is definitely not laggier.
