Does this sound like a reasonable setup?

S5 Turbocharger
Boost@12PSI
Custom Front mount (2x welded TII intercoolers, located between a/c condensor and rad)
3" exhaust - 2.5" MP- 2.5" dual - 3" straight mufflers
K&N Cone filter on home depot (canadian tire actually) TID
S5 Core engine, Stock ports
Racing Beat FCD
S4 ECU
VDO Boost gauge (don't think this adds to HP numbers lol)
Removed emmissions everything
S5 LIM/UIM/TB, removed secondary throttle plates
8.8mm plug wires, otherwise ignition is stock
720cc secondaries/stock primaries/FD Fuel pump
S-AFC
weight ~2700lb
all this on my 10ae


What could I easily improve on? What can make it faster? I'd like to hit 12's, does that sound possible on this setup? (on drag radials)

I don't think the intercoolers will fit between the condensor and radiator or do you already have this done??? If so do you have pics. You should just get rid of your a/c and dump some more weight.

Damn if that works I will do that...I was wondering how well just the stock intercooler rerouted to the frount would improve the coling efficency(spell check) but yeah

BamBam7 did it to his car... you need to move the rad back about 4" at top and 3" at the bottom.

I heard if you front mounted the stock IC, it would improve the cooling effiency. I could be wrong, or whoever said it could be wrong though.

sounds nice.. but did you move your radiator back some? i would just ditch the AC and get that condensor out of the way of the important stuff. you should be able to hit low 13's with good driving/drags. maybe high 12's with a hybrid. tires make a huge difference.

reasonable, no.... cheap, yes

thats my opinion...however the 2 TII IC's together works nicely and thats what i will probably end up doing too! and i wouldnt waste money on a piggyback, just get a haltec so you have plenty of adjustability when needed!

the a/c and the p/s are staying, period.

I've allready got the piggyback, and I haven't seen ONE CAR with a haltech that works and idles perfectly, and gets decent milage on the highway.. so it stays

it's pretty easy to move the rad. Not hard at all.

Depends. Is it a really nice 10AE? If so, I'd leave it stock...mint the bitch out. Then sell her for the stupid amount of money that people seem to want to buy 10AE's for...then take half that money, buy another S4 TII and dow hat you're listing up there (minus the ghetto IC thing and the funky exhaust) and then spend the rest of the money on other crap you don't need.

I just saw a semi-nice 10AE sell for $9,750...

Money isn't really a problem.

I was going to leave it stock, but screw that. faster, better, stronger!

yea leave the exterior stock and do the motor.

Pretty much exact same setup as i am running.

Cept Haltech instead of S-afc, and no front mount

u forgot less reliable...

personally, i think that's a nice street setup. decent power, but not sacrificing too much.
otherwise, u could look at larger turbo, larger primaries, maybe larger secondaries, and a strong enough fuel pump.
suppose u could also port it on your next rebuild.
