m2 medium ic installed
 
installed the kit on saturday. the car is noticeably stronger when the secondary turbo kicks in. In fact the car breaks loose pretty violently in second gear. It was a cool night as intake temps were 30 C. i did two WOT runs for about 8-10 seconds each time...i looked down and noticed the intake temps remained at 30 C so i must say it is working very well.
One negative thing i did notice was that it heat soaks alot in traffic.

Good deal! I got the large and I can't wait to get it all in. How was the fit and finish?

its amazing that you dont bolt it to anything....believe it or not it doesnt move at all!
The pipe angles could be better... but they work. Right now my battery is just laying in there. it is not bolted down as there isnt room between the ic and the battery. I have an M2 copy intake which is bigger then the m2 by 1/4 inch. I suspect that if i had the m2 intake the battery fitament would have not been as bad. I guess every 1/4 inch counts. You also need to mod the air pump a bit...but wasnt a big deal. umm what else...oh yeah i cant believe m2 doesnt include a bracket on the ic for the ast... since i want to keep it in the stock location i have to call a welder out to fabricate something for me. For a 1500 kit they should included that.

What did you have to do to the airpump mayy?

well some people say that you have to lower it and raise the alternator. I didnt have to. But there is alittle air inlet elbow that comes from the air box that you have to turn. We unscrewed it, dremmelled it a bit then screwed it back in facing towards the engine rather then facing it towards the intake.

got any pics? I have the Apexi intake, and I want to go with the M2 Medium, but I dont think I have the room to install it. Congrats on the new purchase, and post some pics when you get a chance!
