Thanks all. Engine bay is horrid, I know its needs to be cleaned up. I could probably use a new battery, I'll have to look into the mini one. Really, the drivability has been good. It makes peak boost earlier than before, when stock. I want to pour in some race gas and turn up the boost.

I bought Turbo XS Intercooler and piping used for 600 bucks. The only thing I didn't get was T-bolt clamps. I still need em......

Yes, the mini battery kits clean up the engine bay nicely. To be quite honest, I would never want the stock battery in my engine bay again. If I had to, I would just buy another mini battery if mine went bad.

+1 for mini battery kit. Everyone says they go bad....... I would just spend the money and put a new one back in there. It looks Great!! How much WHP do you think you gained with the whole I/C kit?

I think they advertise up to 25whp. It feels like that much. It sounds meaner too, which i don't necessarily need, lol.

Yea I agree that it sounds more aggressive and I could definitely feel the difference. I just didn't know how much more I was really getting. Thanks

Crank it up for even more fun I really love how snappy the throttle response is once the stock intercooler is replaced with our kit. It really does make for a ridiculously fun EVO to drive! Wanna take me out for a spin?

Right on, glad to hear you're enjoying it! I may be doing some travelling this summer so I'll be sure to post up on the local board if I'm in the area to take you up on that
