How many people doing this actually do have a function and reason for having this though. I bet not too many. Why the Hell would you relocate your AC condenser over the manifold?

That's different. I think the best scenario is FMIC with an NA hood; now you're in business.

Well having a TII hood can sometimes be more practical and better performance than an n/a hood. Lets say hes got a TII hood laying around the garage, and he needs to get a new hood, so he puts the TII one on. Is that considered rice?

Or maybe hes interested in replacing his 40-some lb. hood with a lighter TII one? Is that rice?

Looks good, I LOVE the WHEELS!!!

That's cool and I really like the idea... but in my exp. no one really even knows the difference....

Especially the honda owners, after i wipe the floor with them they always ask if i'm using a stock turbo... To which I reply, What turbo, since i'm n/a with alot of upgrades....

There is a starion around town too that is always boosting around which i ran about even with who also thought I was turbo. I will be swapping over to a jspec but i havn't decided if i'm going to stay with the stock intercooler or not. I most likely am due to my pocket being shallow.

Good idea tho!
