There are no mods required (ie welding or fabrication), but you will need to trim a couple of the hoses and you cannot use the stock airbox. You still can retain the stock battery, etc. I am not sure if RMR's site has step-by-step instructions for the IC pipes or not.

 

Thhat SAMCO hose you have coming from the I/C to the BOV, where exactly did you get that!! It makes it look 10x better.. BRAVO on the job!

 

most vendors have that rad hose upper and lower... hit adam up at www.z1auto.com
tell jerry from evo-ny sent you he will hook you right up... super good vendor also...

 

Congrats, it looks nice...
but some of your info is flawed... those pipes will increase horsepower so insignificantly you probably won't even notice it... bigger pipes = more volume to fill therefore it should make turbo lag even more... or cause worse pressure drop... haha
a gain would be that it's lighter, and bigger pipes allow cooler air to stay cool longer...

for those that say 1-5 hp is a big deal on a dyno.. you're mistaken... 1-5 hp variance can be affected by tons of things... you can probably gain 5 extra hp by having a lower temperature or blowing more cold air into the engine/intake...

my 2c...

edit: that's why for those guys that buy grounding kits for 100 bux, i laugh at the fools...

 

al has an upgraded turbo already... I don't think that would effect him....
