First of all I've been a member for over a year, but have never really made any posts.
What do you guys think of this setup? It is definitely an imitation of Sciondad's setup (Thanks for the inspiration). Really want to keep the car looking Stock.

Stage 0 with liquid PWR barrel intercooler

2.5 inch ZPI mid pipe and S pipe*

Tsudo 2.5 inch axel back*

ZPI Crank Pulley*

ZPI Engine Limiter

Greddy Blue Emanage

TRD springs and shocks*

Greddy front and rear strut braces*

TRD sway bar*

* means already on the car

Any and all feedback is welcome.

Thanks

 

Nice.
What's a "barrel"?

 

You can find it here.

did you have to cut anything for the placement of the intercooler?

 

Kenny and the boys at ZPI are mocking it up and welding it in place somewhere along the charge pipe. Right after install I have plans to take it to a local place here in houston for tuning.

 

sounds like a nice setup to me. i'd add a manual boost controller just in case you decide you want to crank up the boost later. what do you think of that suspension set up? i was looking in to something very similar to that

 

So far I haven't been able to take it to the suspension's limits cause the stock tires give way pretty early. The ride feels like stock, but it definitely corners better. As soon as I get some new tires I'll know more. Probably would've looked nicer to go lower with some coil overs, but this setup also keeps inline with my Stock Look.

Thanks

 

<stock look... thats my goal as well... nearly had the intercooler coated black actually... most people only see it if they are looking for it.

 

awesome! another boosted tc in houston . what area are you in?

 

The Land of Sugar. You?

 

SE houston, 3 minutes from UH main campus, where 45-south and 610 hit. let me know when you get boosted so i can check out the turbo!

 

Definitely will let you all know. Looks like the kit is shipping out this Thursday and I'll be putting it in next weekend. Will post pics.

 

hopefully your lucky and you'll get the kit when they say you will.

 

the barrel intercooler looks pretty damn cool on these cars. your intercooler was finish welded today and test fitted and it looks good.

 

Awesome!!! Put the kit and the mail and charge my CC!!!!

 

Looks like it'll be another week or so til it comes in. Gives me time to put new tires on and get her inspected prior to her inability to pass.... The wait's getting long, but not mad yet.

 

and it begins...good luck

 

as the weeks turn to months...

 

They welded my intake and said it would all go out late this week or early next week. I trust them.

I'll post the pic when I get a chance....

 

Alright, I got the tracking numbers and the kit is on it's way! If it gets here by Friday it's going in Saturday. Will post pics.
