you can keep a small race battery if you dont do the cold air intake. or you can do a race battery relocation into a smaller area either inside or in the trunk. I am getting a smaller battery once i can afford it and recess it into the trunk area.

the pipes arent color matched but they are a really cool color, i will try to get a better picture today in the day light.

no problems once the battery is gone. but then again i didnt do it, Boe at RRM is the master mind behind this beast. All i did was pay the bill honestly.

Vince is the special guy so we let him get a unique color at his cost... it looks like Black pipe with silver vains thru it. Very cool and one of a kind. I took Vince up on a little race just to see how the car would do and i was impressed. He was right on my heals. The auto launched way better than i did... i was spinning wheels like crazy but even driving the auto is a joy. Especially around corners as you will just roast the tires off!! Having driven the auto non-ic and now the new ic'd version i'd definately want it! Guru will be smoking fools right and left and leave them with the sweet sound of his greddy echoing in his ears.

And you are right, this thing is one hell of a sleeper, scared the **** out of a 325i driver today who was trying to rip around me and cut a few lanes, lets just say he saw a good angle of my rear and all he heard was rrrrrrrmmmmmmmmm pssssssssst, vrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmm psssssssssssttttttt.

Thanks again everyone this kit is amazing, and I have the greddy type s and holy crap is it loud. you can hear it way far away through the filter.

Thats the attitude that is needed... there's still a little sore spot from the auto ecu thing with RRM. Now instead of investing in products first they will wait till they are paid for and demanded with backup.

Turboit... you are a serious player and will not be disappointed. Hell that auto intercooled will stand next to a non-ic'd 5speed i feel. If they both up boost to 7psi it would be the auto's win for sure. It was such a blast to drive... makes me want to trade mine in... uhhhhh well maybe not but it was way better than non-ic'd and the only way i'd go if i was auto.

i still think all things being equal a 7 psi vs 7psi intercooled auto vs intercooled 5 speed the auto would win,

anyone want some? come get some.

boe - yea dude, the only reason i never participated in the auto ecu wa sbecause of the turbo, but then again i bet there are very few auto turboed guys out there to upgrade to intercooler, and evne few who want to pay for a full IC kit, but you know what, even if a few people order it, its still money in the bag for you, and even more satisfied customers with amazing cars, when i finished installing my pistons i said ok, i have done everything i possibly can, im finished with engine work, a month later here you guys go again, stealing my money, but i love you for it
