-550cc primary injectors, 1000cc secondaries
- 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust with dual mufflers at the back
-18 inch mesh style wheels 265 rears
-Turbosmart adjustable boost T
Stereo:

-Alpine Type S 6 inch 3 ways in the rear,
-Alpine Type S 6 inch splits oin the front, with custom mounts i made
-600W Kenwood Dual voice coil sub

well yeh i understand that 10psi from the standard turbo will produce less power than 10psi from a larger turbo due to less air being able to flow. the holset hx50 i have going on it will be running 3 inch cooler piping.
did anyone have to remove their power steering or AC compressor to fit cooler piping? im thinking bout removing my ac compressor or all the ac gear, and have my piping run under there then up round into the plenum.
also is the steering heavy without pwr steering?

Most intercooler kits require you to relocate the battery, and remove a/c. Don't get any kits that require you to remove the bumper support, unless you don't care that its not there.

Nice car mate, love those 18" shoes. Maybe I'll see it when I'm out that way. I have a mate getting married and I am going to visit him before he moves back here.

appreciate the comments guys.
got a quote today for all the work, the guy reckons the rear turbo housing is a bit too big and might only come on boost around 4000rpm, which wont be very streetable, but when she does come on boost, hang the *** on
we determined that we would use anything bigger than a 40mm external wastegate also.
This week im buying,
-wastegate
-600x300 cooler core with 3 inch end tanks
-thermo fan 16" and **** off the clutch one
ill prob also remove the A/C ****
will get sum pics of all the gear up soon
