mate where I live almost every day of summer is over 100 Fahrenheit. we get a few good ones of 42+ deg. (I think that's about 120 your scale ?)

this isnt a full summer car here inn Aus, you live inside

Thanks for the comments guys, hopefully will be on the road soon, its been a long build.

As for the sea creature's their still their. I was sponsored for the paint job and that what they wanted so will staying

im jealous of all your engine bays... mine's just a bunch of wires and zipties everywhere haha.
btw quick question my intake pipe keeps coming off the turbo for some reason even though I tighten the clamp down like mad. it's on a stock s4 turbo. it just happens to slip off after some boosting which causes my car to bog out and fail.

Less heat soak, less pressure drop, quicker spool, and no cutting up core support. I dont have anyway to see the AIT at the moment. When I get a rtek ecu, I will be able to see AIT's and log them. Very soon I will have results. Thanks
