Depends on intercooler. ETS units are much much lighter than Buschur, JMF, CBRD, and AMS because they use heavier Garette cores and/or cast endtanks. ETS are pretty dawn light.

Don't worry about your times or spending money to make the car faster until you ready for real competition.

i would not remove the front crash beam, but that is meh...

The battery relocation is something to consider, but then you have to factor in the added weight of the 4 gauge wire (maybe 0 gauge if you're a baller). I would just just a light weight battery and call it a day.

If you're running stock turbo/boost then you don't need an aftermarket FMIC, OEM will do just fine and is light as shehit.

I use 8 gauge wire and it works fine. Need a new battery though since I left my batt completly drained. It has a hard time starting the car sometimes.

Removing front crash beam on a car that's driven on a circuit is a stupid idea. And I'm not even considering safety in that comment.

I have 10ft of 0 gauge stranded copper used for welding. Best stuff to use apparently. Its not that heavy, and also distributed through the car and not centralized in the engine bay.

That crash beam ain't gonna help if you crash at the track. I would like a chromo one like what Chau has on his car though.

Did you miss the part where I said that I'm not even considering the safety implications in that comment?

No I didn't. I wasn't debating you. Relax.
