Thats relieving nz.

What do you mean where the return goes over the intercooler, it's not over it at all? Are you talking about the yellow plug on the radiator hose? I was under the impression that was a water temp sensor or something of the sort..

Being from NZ, are you a part of Ausrotary at all? I'm drft on there, gimme a pm if you're a member.

Cheers, bryan.

I'm pretty sure it is. The both intercooler pipes go through the same side of the engine bay, so one has to cross over to get to the other side of the intercooler. Check out this thread about the same IC kit. You'll see the IC-TB pipe runs over the top of the IC. I have seen a photo of the stock AFM relocated to that pipe. I'm not saying yours is definitely there, just that it would explain why it's not visable. Unless the car also has a VPC, it's gotta be in there somewhere.

It is, it'll for the aftermarket water temp gauge.

I am, but I don't visit very often anymore, mainly because there's not that much FC content.

Not in the states, I'm in Australia, and this car is in transit atm.. should have it in a month or so.. getting it legal..

Air filter (must be boxed if i have a cooler too :/)
Put in a cat
get noise under 94dB at 4000ish rpm
get the car engineered for the turbo, seats, cage and probably ecu.
wind the springs up to get it above 100mm
plumb the wastegate into the exhaust (in aus we aren't allowed to vent any gases into atmosphere, ie bov and wastegate )
Carpet over where the rear seats were

And a few other things that aren't coming to me right now...

cheers, bryan
