Just got my car back from becauseican.

He mounted my shiny Spearco IC and modified my IC pipes to fit it. Had to relocated the oil cooler as well. Boost with no controller installed went from 10psi to 15psi!!!

Is it just me, or do the hardpipes look fan-freaking-tastic???!!! This guy can weld like none other. :)

On to the pics!

Hey Grim, I haven't seen a battery like that one in loooong time. The ic pipes look great, and the performance gains sounds incredible. I can't wait to get my hardpipes in on my ride. I didn't see an undercover tray in tehre, which I believe increase efficiency, too. One Q, tho, do those pipes allow you to use a stb?

Looks Great Dave!
Isn't it great what a nice IC and some hardpipes will do?
That's the 1080 CFM spearco core, right? One thing I would suggest is mounting a spliter in your air dam behind the vent to route half of the airflow to the hidden half of the IC, it should really help the efficiency of the cooler, and probably pull another lb of boost on the actuater.
Looks fan frigging tastic!

Click to expand...

STB? Standard Throttle Body? Sexually Transmitted Benefactor? Southern Transient Bat?

I have the engine undercover, but it's in the garage at the moment, I'll mount it once I get all the little details taken care of.

I did forget to congratulate you BTW Grim... those hardpipes really do look fantastic. Soon I will have a similar setup to you, same Spearco core, just with LIPP Al hardpipes :)

IHI-RHC7, this is the 1080 CFM Spearco core, sorry, forgot to post that up above.

As for a stabilizer bar, it might fit, I don't use one, but despite the angle of the shot I posted, these really don't come that close to the strut. One of the benefits to driving a hardtop. :D

Looking very nice, Dave! Also, nice work Randy!
Any reason you didn't go blow-thru when you did the MAFt?
I think I meant to ask you this long ago, but forgot or something... Just noticed you're not recirculating the BOV, so.. yeah.

I have a recirc fitting from 935 for the BOV, but I need to pick up a slightly different hose to put it together. It's on the list of things to do... at the moment I rarely push it hard enough to trigger the HKS unit, and you'll notice I still have the Bosch unit in there as well.
