very neat and tidy looks the dogs danglers

 

Did you have to cut the lower part of your bumper to make that race intercooler fit???

 

No....I was using t-bolt clamps and by cutting the bumper and facing them upwards I can undo the piping without taking my front bumper off or my undertray...honestly it was more for if the pipes popped off and I wanted to get to them quickly.
With the t-bolts I have never had an issue so take it for what its worth. Honestly though, I felt like the bumper was really tight against the piping so I just used my dremel tool and cut out each side.

I think it came out really nice anyway...and since the viii front looks poor imo to begin with it gives the car some character.

 

New pics added of the evolved look for Spring 09.

 

Now that's a great evolution.



Great mods! Keep up the good work.

 

Love the jdm bumper on the car.

 

damn it looks like you won the lotto... alot of upgrades but very nice

 

looks real good nice job

 

damn that is nuts... and over 600 WHP?! I like how clean and simple it looks!

 

Love the rear. What trunk is that? I have the same exhaust and jdm rear, only I painted the muffler flat black to hide it a little bit.

 

What is the QTP module you have in your center console? Do you have a QTP electric bypass? If so, PLEASE POST PICS!

 

it has evolved very well =)

 

Its a seibon cf trunk with a rexpeed lip spoiler instead of a wing.

 

I bought three QTP items all from summit racing. QTP cutout butterfly, QTP dump pipe(looks like a test pipe but with a Y for the cutout), and their electronic cut out switch as seen in my cup holder.

My shop welded the test pipe portion into the bottom part of my downpipe (I am running a different downpipe for my shearer header and FP turbo than what QTP makes for our cars....so it had to be custom welded in)

Here is the ironic part. I literaly make NO extra power on the dyno with it open. This is a testament to Buschur's turbo back exhaust with test pipe.....I was going to go back to a stock rear section for a quiter set up but decided against it.

So now the cutout is honestly just to open around town or on the highway so everyone in a mile radius looks and wonders why my car is retardedly loud. Its actually fun at low speeds because you can here the turbo spool up like its in the cabin.

Look in my signature for a pic of the cutout under the car. The cat in the pic is no longer there btw.

 

looks good!
