very clean engine bay, although I can't help but notice your air filter will be sucking in all that hot air after the radiator. Wow only 146 hp? what was that an N/A.

Just remember lower intake temps lower temps after the turbo and less cooling our TMIC will have to do...but once you get a front mount it should help greatly.... you need to list your mods, how much did that FPR setup cost, looks really nice

What kinda gauge is that under your boost gauge?

That looks amazing! One question though, is it me or does the intercooler look like its at a funny angle? The passanger side is higher than the driver side.

Could I get a close up of this??

If possible... I wanted to see the BOV set-up. Like the hoses and the vacume line(s).

Thanks.
